Hi everyone, I just recently discovered LMMS and it looks like an awesome piece of software! I want to get started using LMMS and making music, but first I wanted to figure out if I would be able to use the Akai Professional MPK Mini MKII midi keyboard controller with LMMS. It's a fairly simple beginner device, but I am wondering if I would be able to use the drum pads and other controls with LMMS. Any advice here would be great! I'm hoping these two pieces will work together because they seem like a good combination for what I want to do. Thank you.
I had the same question, and I got these answers --> viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3544
So, it seems to be comptatible ! But I don't really know if the pads will work immediatly ! Maybe it will need a few tweak in settings ot something like this.
was the best answer I got. (from farawayinspace)I have an MPK25 and all the pads, wheels, controllers, and toggles work well in LMMS. My only gripe so far is that I can't effectively assign the pads to a different synth or to individual drum samples, they just play different notes on the same channel as the keys. Also, I haven't figured out 'transport control'.
I was about to buy one of them when my laptop died, so I'll probably have it for Xmas for now !
