AKAI MPD218 midi script

Post by Swedish Sam » Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:16 am

Hi!

Trying to get my 12-year old son into music and Ableton (long time user myself) and just got him an AKAI MPD218. I can't seem to fins any scripts that work with Ableton 11 so the blue hand works. Just made him a couple of 128's drum racks and it would be great to be able to choose drums with the knobs. Is there anyone out there that could share a midi script for the MPD218? I would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

Hi, managed to write a script for the MPD218 with a tutorial so focus mode (blue hand) works with all the Macros. Here's the link for anyone looking for a script. I also included the MPD218 preset that goes with the script.

This is near perfect for me as well, many thanks for sharing!
Would care to to say, which tutorial you are referring to?
I played around a bit with your MIDI_MAP script which worked. The MPD218 script however is a bit beyond me, but I'd love to learn the ins, outs and limitations
