Just picked up an MPK49 and I don't understand the behavior of the track select/arm buttons. Is it supposed to stay in sync with Live? Sometimes the light is on and the track is deactivated, you'll press another track and it won't switch and activate that track or the light will go off and the track with activate and so on. Thoughts?

I do have the Live Lite profile activated.

unless you're using live lite.. there's not much point using that template. check out the vyzex editor and map things out a little better, or load a general midi template and just map things through live to get some real use out of the mpk

makes sense. alright. I've give it a go.

Is the communication two-way between live and the MPK, where a track launch can trigger the track select light?

nope, just one way unfortunately.

Thanks. Well that sucks. I like what they are doing on the Novation MK II with two way syncing. I'm a bit disappointed in the level of integration.
