Tip #2 is invaluable. I was sitting here thinking "damn I'm weak as hell I gotta smash these keys just to get a decent sound" lol.
-
OMG the key velocity is the golden tip. Made it so much better! Thank you man.
-
You're doing a great job. Recently got a MPK. These videos are very helpful. Please make more of these.

As someone whos finally making the switch from old school Akai MPC 2000xl for sampling sequencing and physical synths and only using DAWs for audio recording my equipment... thanks for making this video and making the transition so much easier im so used to navigating midi controls on tiny screens and horrible interfaces left over from the 90s and this made it super easy to find some of the first things i actually wanted to change
-
TE AMO WEY!!! I got my keybord as a gift from my dad 2 years ago and i didn’t really used it because i felt it was hard to use, but with your hacks you really helped me to start using it. And i can say its awesome. Un millon de gracias💕 saludos desde 🇲🇽 mexico
-
Thanks so much for the video. Some great tips here. The velocity setting and the transport control were excellent.
-
Btw, the pads are so stiff on this controller, you may want to get used to hitting the corners, they're far more reactive than anywhere else on the pads. other than that, excellent quality, wonderful pots, and controls, and one hell of a value...DON'T GET ALL BLACK KEYS!
-
Great tips, thanks! Do you know of a way tp change the velocities of the pads like you did the keys? Or are those settings applicable to all velocity-sensitive items?
-
THx Bro. U were the most helpful and straight forward one yet. Good Looks.
-
Thanks for this Info, I.m playing Bass Synth now. drumming for 62 Years. You are a very smart young man. Thanks again!
-
Thanks for the tips! Have been wanting to get back in the game for a while.
-
Love the channel thank you for the tips really needed them!!!
-
thanks for the info on how to increase the velocity of the keys, i avoided using my mpk keys for years because of that, thanks bro
-
Thanks Brotha, I needed that!
-
Cool! Especially with the transport controls it's some magic!
-
I am just starting out and this very brief and succinct how to was so helpful. Thank you.
-
this vid really helped a lot, awesome!
-
Awesome video. Thank you so much. I’m a guitarist just getting into recording in Reaper. I just picked one of these up and getting it set up has been kind of frustrating.
-
Great tutorial. What I was looking for...thanks
-
Thanks for the video. My decision is now easy, Akai on the way!
