Midi keyboard functionality and LMMS

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!
I recently got a keyboard (Akai MPK mini) from my brother in law. I haven't messed with it yet but it seems to have alot of functionality, including mapping sounds to the drum pads. This may be a stupid question, but it's probably just because I've never used a midi controller, does LMMS allow midi programming on external instruments if the instruments themselves allow it?
Hi, have you got any reply from anyway? did you solve the problem? I got the same keyboard but i'm not able to map pads control separatey from keyboard.

thanks

bye
