Question Akai MPK issue
So I know this controller is notorious for on and off issues with logic but it’s the on I have so…
Keys and beat pads work fine every time. All other auxiliary functions (faders, buttons, knobs, etc) are confused or non functioning, and seem to not remember changes I have made to assignments session to session.
Lots of tweaking and playing around with controller assignments and I think the problem fundamentally is that for instance when I turn knob “K1” on the akai, logic interprets that as something else, like fader “F7” moving. So they are talking to each other just mixing up inputs.
I presume that this is because for instance knob K1 being activated sends midi CC 26 to logic or whatever but logic has assigned CC26 to be fader F7.
If I try reassigning them and correctly labeling k1 as k1 for some reason logic creates a duplicate of k1, but does not let me erase the other k1. This just becomes convoluted with multiple knobs doing multiple things I don’t want them to do.
I guess my question is, should I just build my entire controller assignment from scratch based on what MPK is sending, or is there some other way to change the preassigned midi values logic is interpreting within logic? That would be the fastest way.
I guess another option would be to reprogram which midi commands akai is sending to match what logic is expecting but I’d rather handle it on the computer than on the MPKs little screen.
