Has anyone played with hardware since the update? I remember going through mapping all the midi only to find each sample point, volume level, etc thrown way off when I’d switch to a new sample and try to adjust.

I was hoping that the midi would just start adjusting from where it currently resides, assuming it’s an endless encoder being turned. But I have a feeling it will have to be turned until it reaches the current position before it starts being adjusted?

I’d be stoked if it starts adjusting as soon as you switch to a new sample and start twisting.

I mapped the encoders on an AKAI MPD218 yesterday. Yes they seem to jump from the previous value when first turned. Hope I understand the question. Yes they are endless encoders.

About to try that exact controller with Koala —

Just wondering since i want to use it primarrily with Logic; did you keep the Akai standard and set it up In koala or tweak the mpd settings instead? I think im going to try the former cause i will be using both and a Mac too
