HELP Midi Akai mpk49

Hello everybody.
I'm pretty new using Logic and mac anyway. I just got the logic 9 pro and also I have connected my Akai Mpk49 via USB. When I hit the A3 note and only this note I only get a hit every second time I touch the note. So every second time I wants to play the A3 note it's mute. When I change the octaves in whatever directions It follow the A3 note so its is not the key thats broken but some kind of midi setup problem. When I use Reason everything works fine so is there something in Logic I don't understand. ?? Also a problem when I hit the G3 note. but here it wont realease the key so it's continueing playing even after I release the key.
Please help..

Is there a Transformer object active in your Environment ( ⌘-8, *clicks & ports* layer)?
Are there any MIDI messages assigned to *Key Commands* in the *Controller Assignments* window ( ⌘-K )? If so, delete them.
If not:
Try trashing the preference files.
0. Export your custom Key Commands (if you have any) from the Key Command window
1. Quit Logic.
2. Find the file com.apple.logic.pro.plist here: 'yourdisk'/Users/'you'/Library/Preferences/
plus the file com.apple.logic.pro.cs
3. Drag them to the Desktop
4. Start Logic. It'll create a fresh .plist and .cs file. Now see if your problem is gone or not. If it is, you can trash the .plist and .cs file on the desktop. If it isn't, you can quit Logic and put the old .plist file back if you want your old settings back.
regards, Erik.

Logic 8 and Akai MPK49

Are there anyone who is using the Akai Mpk49 with Logic 8 ? Im trying to get it to sync together so i cant benefit the most out of the keyboard. I've set the mpk to external midi clock and logic as master.(but im not to familiar with logic preferences 100%). As long as internal is use in sync mode should it work?
If anyone can help or explain will be much appreciated. Maybe i need to set some stuff first in environment ? Im a bit new to logic so please bare with me. Thank you

To configure the MPK49 transport buttons to control logic do the following.
The logic menu select 'File' / 'Project Settings' / 'Synchronization' Then from within the Synchronization window select the 'MIDI' tab. Look under the MIDI Machine Control (MMC) section and make sure it's configured to 'Listen to MMC input'.
As for using configuring the note repeat feature of the MPK49 you need to set the unit to external sync, then from within logic on the menu bar select 'File' / 'Project Settings' / 'Synchronization' Then from within the Synchronization window select the 'MIDI' tab. Look under the 'Transmit MIDI Clock' section and make sure the checkbox is selected for a destination and that the 'Akai MPK49' is selected from the drop down.

Low output when using Akai MPK49 controller

I'm completely new to Logic so I appreciate your taking the time to read this.
When ever I add a software instrument track and use my Akai MPK49 controller to control the instrument, the meters show that I have plenty of signal coming in, but the output is extraordinarily low. I can't even hear the instrument when I play other tracks with it! The Akai has TERRIBLE documentation so I'm not sure if I've screwed something up there as well. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something in Logic.

hi. one trick to try:
1. look to the right of the mode wheels, you will se the "performance controls" section in orange.
2. press the FULL LEVEL button. this should give you zero velocity sensitivity, but up your output.

Akai MPK49

hey people. ive gone through the seting up of the mpk stuff on the fourms and its ok but all my key comands have gone and now so is this only usefull for simple play and stop etc? also, do u have to go to settings and change the midi and sync setting everythim i wanna have this feature.
i hope this all makes sence to someone....????

Which is the better way to go with Logic? The Kontrol 49 is already setup as a control surface in Logic, has lighted pads, the faders look more professional and they have displays to inform you of what they are assigned to at the moment.
The MPK49, well, doesn't have any of that but from what I've seen, many people still quite like it.
What should I get?
You should get the one you like the most.

PLEASE HELP "MIDI SYNCH WITH MPC 2000XL"

I'M NEW TO LOGIC PRO, I NEED HELP IN SYNCHING LOGIC WITH MY MPC 2000XL. I COULD GET A SIGNAL FROM MY MPC, BUT WHEN I PLAY IT BACK IN LOGIC THERE'S A GLITCH IN THE LOOP. CAN ANYBODY PROVIDE ME WITH ASSISTANCE?

Are you guys who are advising how to do this actually using midi clock out from Logic successfully?
Yes. But I had to dik around with it for a long time. Using my SP as the master is always tighter but as someone else pointed it out, Logic does drift.
I've got Logic as the master now.
Go to File>Song Settings>Synchronisation>MIDI then make sure clock is sending out to your MIDI interface. For fine tuning of the sync, go to Logic Preferences>Sync then chose the MIDI tab which, since 7.1 has given a scroll and slider for MIDI delay.
Then I make sure the SP is set to receive MIDI as sync.
That's how I do it. I hope you get it working.

I too had some problems with the CMSS-3d feature with my Xtrememusic interal sound card. Not sure if that makes a difference or not Anyways, I was able to fix the problem and somewhere here are my posts about what I did and what people told me. My problem stemmed from bad audio crackling while the Stereo Xpand feature of the CMSS was in use, if I unchecked it, the problems went away, but I only had sound coming out of 2 speakers. So, I moved it to the Surround feature and 50% envelopment on the CMSS tab and the sound came out of all 5. speakers and no crackling. That was ok, but I liked the processing that the Stereo Xpand did to my MP3's. I use Winamp to play my MP3's which is a Directsound application which Vista no longer supports so I had to use the Alchemy program provided by Creative. This allowed the Stereo Xpand feature to work no problem and off loaded the sound processing from the CPU back to the Sound Card. Since then, I have had Zero problems with my Sound Card and Vista. (You may have to use Alchemy to get certain games to sound better as well...)
What program are you using to play MP3's and does it use OpenAL If not you will have to use Alchemy to get the sound processing away from the CPU (which causes problems) and back to the sound card.

Please help - midi virgin

I'd really like to use logic pro to record different instruments on my digital piano. I've got a firewire preamp thingy; and i'm really confused ! I'd really like to use logic to compose, for example, something orchestral all on my digital piano, but i'm totally lost as to where to start, and the words in the manual are a bit too technical for me ! I know its possible, i just don't know how !
Any help, at all, would be greatly appreciated !

Ok, what you want to presumably do, is make music using all kinds of sounds that come with Logic, playing them in from your digital piano.
You need to connect up your piano to your computer via MIDI (or maybe USB). Connect the piano's MIDI out to the audio interface's MIDI IN. Now your keyboard can send notes to Logic.
Turn the volume of the piano down (I'm keeping things simple here), run Logic, and select the Explore -> Instruments template to start from (this is to illustrate the concepts).
Now, select the different tracks in the track list - thewse are software instrument tracks, and have different instruments loaded up in them. Whichever track you select, your notes will be sent to the instrument on it. If you select the "String Ensemble Legato" track, you will be playing the string sound.
If you can't hear audio and don't have this set up yet, post back and we can help with that to. If there is anything you don't understand, then just ask...

Midi not reading A SAMSON 61 CARBON MIDI CONTROLLER HEEN HELP

NEED HELP MIDI WILL READ 61 SAMSON MIDI KEYBOARD BUT IT WILL READ THE 49 KEY VERSION

This forum is for Mac hardware made before 1998 and get very little traffic. If you tell us what kind of Mac your midi device is connected to and its Mac OSX version, we can get you moved to a forum where you stand a chance of getting some help in a reasonable time frame.
One bit of advice: people will complain about your typing in ALL CAPS. Turns out it is actually harder to read, and there is an old forum convention that says all caps is the on-line substitute for shouting.
And, as your keyboards are not Apple products, you should be checking with their manufacturer's support resources, here I think:

Synthesizers & USB MIDIs - Suggestions

Dear Mates
I was wondering if you guys could take the time to tell me the synthesizers you suggest or use. I'm going to be working with rap beats / electronicy music. I'm leaning towards the 'Novation SL25 Compact,' but was also looking at models like 'M-AUDIO AXIOM 25 25-KEYBOARD USB MIDI CONTROLLER'. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
BTW: Trying not to spend more than $300-350
Cheers.

i have used the axiom. overall, i really liked it, but like most m-audio products it didn't last long. my bandmate has the novation and the build quality isn't so hot, but he hasn't had any problems with it yet.
i am currently using an akai mpk49 and really like it. built like a tank too. but i have not had it long enough to provide any real durability feedback. it's a bit more pricey than the axiom, but akai is generally known for good quality.
also note - none of these are "synths" in that they don't produce any sound. they are only controllers to work with soft synths or other hardware, and to also control DAW functions, etc. i think you knew that, but just wanted to clarify.
ps: just in case, for hardware synths, i don't think you can beat the virus for sheer range and horsepower. and for soft synths, i think zebra2 is the greatest thing ever made (it has retired more hardware than i care to think about), but it can be a bit daunting at first. all these recommendations depend on your own style, taste and needs of course.

I cannot connected my APC40 and MPK49 controllers with Logic Pro X?

I recently bought Logic Pro X, AKAI MPK49 and APC40 but I just cannot connect them. I tried to link the controller assignment for the APC40 but everytime I log out of Logic Pro X it seems to mess the configuration up and I lose the commands. When I log back my APC40 doesnt work.
As for MPK49, I can use it in intstrument software but cannot seem to connect it as an external MIDI.
Can anyone help me mapped both products?
Thanks

X6 (via midi cable) plus good quality Audio/Midi interface (such as a Motu) = No issues with LPX or Mavericks....
In other words.. stop using USB to connect to Mac.... and you should be fine.

MIDI Issues on new rMBP

Hi there,
I've just received my new retina MBP 15" and after getting it set up, I'm having issues with it not properly recognizing a MIDI device.
The device in question is an Akai MPK49 keyboard and it worked fine on my previous Mac (2011 MBP) and I've also tried it tonight on another 2012 non-retina MBP which also works fine, so it's definitely not the keyboard.
The new MacBook seems to recognise that something is plugged in, when I look in MIDI prefs in Ableton Live it finds a MIDI Device, but doesn't detect that it's an MPK as it should. I've also tried it in some standalone Native Instruments players and they won't find anything at all connected.
I've tried it in both USB ports, as well as through the TB port using the hub on the TB display, and nothing has worked. Interestingly, I tried a little 25 key LPK keyboard and it works fine.
Any ideas?

You had better contact the tech support at the company that makes your keyboard (which you failed to name) as well as Epson for tech support for your scanner. They can solve the problems faster than we can on this forum.

Can You assign mpk49 faders and knobs to work with logics mixer?

Just bought the akai MPK49. Just want to know what you can assign the faders and knobs to, and how you set it up in logic. And also whether you can assign the faders and knobs to control logics mixer volume. Thanks

ive found out how to do it. Make sure your keyboard is correctly installed. Then click on what you want to control. So open up the mixer and click on the parameter you want to control. For example if you want to control volume click on the volume fader (the actual rectangular thingy with the value in the middle). Then press 'command L'. Then move the fader and it should say assignment learned. Click on 'learn mode' in the bottom right hand corner of the window. And that should be it. The mistake i made was i was just clicking on the channel strip and not a specific parameter. Do the same for pan etc.... not sure if you can control the inserts like compression etc.... hope this helps

Axiom49 or MPK49?

Hi,
just wondering what'd be better for producing beats with logic pro 8:
M-audio Axiom 49 or the Akai MPK49?
thanks

i have an MPK49 and i must first say i love love love it! this thing is built like a tank and has so many knobs you won't know what to do with urself. the presets are fantastic, since i use a lot of reason, and i have had no problems whatsoever. truly the best buy i have made in a long time! i go to berklee and it was recommended to me by a synth major, i am production, and man was he right! nice weight on the keys, you can really dig into them and as i said before it is built like a tank!

Can Markers (or anything else) automatically change the patch?

I've been looking all over to try and figure out how to have MainStage automatically change to the next patch when a new Marker comes up on the backing track through PlayBack.
Basically, when i'm playing to a backing track, i sometimes play the pads and keys on my Akai MPK49, and when a new section comes up and i need need to change my synth sound, i don;t physically have enough hands to change to the next patch. I've read a load guides, but using the AIC driver in Logic seems far too complicated and I'm getting a bit out of my depth.
The whole point of me using markers is to identify different sections with different instruments, but I have to change between them manually anyway?
Is there a way to have the Marker automatically change the patch? The only other way i can see of getting round this live is having a midi footswitch to automatically cycle through the patches, which means Markers are of no use to me in my 'Perform' view really.
Any help would be amazing!

Hi
Currently, there is no 'super easy' way to have MS change patches automatically, and definately NOT directly from Playback markers.
It may be possible to make use of the MIDI file 'send' capability per patch or set, routing out and back in to MS, but frankly, NOT a great workaround.
