Mapping Akai 25 Mpk Mini Garageband Ipad

So you just bought an MPK mini MKII. Now what?

I have a bit of experience with music tech, i got a new Mac recently, and rather then install my Stienberg software i previously used, i experimented a bit with GarageBand, and have fallen in love. I also use some of Akai's mini USB controllers, so hopefully i can help.

Hi guys,


My Akai MPK 25 works perfectly well with Garageband, but is not working with Mainstage 3. Actually, the knobs work with Mainstage, but the keys and pads do not. The firmware is up to date and I have reset to factory defaults. When inserting the usb I get a prompt from Mainstage to turn to preset 1, which I do, but nothing comes out of the keys. I see that the midi signal is reaching the computer, but no output from any device. This is on a brand new MBP Retina.


Thanks for your help.
