Again MIDI CH 7 will be brightest so Bright red would be 96 00 48 for bottom left of the matrix. There are many colors but these are the ones that are most identifiable to me. The shift is note 122 but doesn’t seem to have an LED. The buttons on the right (top to bottom are notes 113-119. The bottom row (mute buttons) are notes 100-107 (left to right). MIDI channels larger than 7 will create various blink rates.

For full brightness send same note-on number message that the controller sends, but on MIDI channel 7. The matrix LED note numbers are the same as the original APC MINI but the MIDI channel indicates how bright you want the LED. The new unit now has full RGB LED control. I think they expect people to just use as plug and play with Ableton Live but I know of many users that use it for other things so I thought I’d document a bit of my findings after I received mine yesterday.ĭue to the implementation of this controller I think it will be a prime candidate for using Bome MIDI Translator Pro to get the colors and behavior that most users will want (if not using with Ableton Live). Like the old one, there was little documentation on the MIDI mapping. Honestly I could make it work but didn't understand how all it worked together so I couldn't go on.Akaipro released a new APC Mini Controller last week. I mean all I really wanted was to tap out a drum loop for Petty-Breakdown. For instance for some reason after launching S1 the mapping still would not take until I opened the Options (External Devices) and selected Re-connect. I had to dork around a few times with it until everything worked. Press the S under Favorite 1 to send to the MPK mini play.Ħ.

So for instance for C1 (in S1) which is = to Note 24 you'd need to update to C2 = 36 (in the Akai editor) and so on for each note.ĥ. Sorry I didn't capture the reference to give credit but thanks to whomever you are. NOTE: I found this on an old post for and MKII in S3. You must MAP 1 Octave higher than the note listed on the pad you want to program in the Akai Editor. :)ĮVERYTHING you see in the S1 editor for the pads is a lie when it comes to the Akai MPK mini play. I don't know why and don't care but it would nice if someone commented and told me why so I are smarter. 0 is middle C, 1 = 1 Octave up from middle C and so on.Ĥ. The numbers along the top rows = Octaves so -1 is 1 Octave down from middle C. Notice for instance G# 1 = 32 in the table below when you cross reference. Use the following cheat sheet to help you with the next step. IE for Bank B PAD 1 has a note value of 32 which in MIDI speak is G# 1 (I only pasted the relevant section for mapping pads)Ĥ. The default will look something like this. Once you have a pic, close S1 and Open the Akai Editor. I used the windows snipping tool to take a picture of the interface.ģ. Notice the C1, C#1, D1, D#1 etc on the 16 pads starting from the bottom work upwards. Select your drum pre-set (I used Cloud Trap for this example)Ĭ. Start a new song or old whatever then add Impact from Instrumentsī.

NOTE: You can have both S1 and the Akai MPK editor launched at the same time but you will not able to hear sound in S1 or save changes in the Akai editor as they both want to own the connection.Ī.
