Mapping my new Akai MPK mini

Post by Damani » Thu Mar 28, 2013 1:38 pm

Hi, I'm a beginner producer and recently bought an Akai MPK mini laptop keyboard.
I use in in Ableton and would like to map my pad buttons with the LFO-rate of Massive, so I can tap a pad to change the LFO-rate to a specific speed.
Here's an example of what I'd like to do:

If I map one pad with the LFO-rate and then another it will remove the first one I did because it takes it as the same parameter I think. I don't have any MIDI experience and don't know what to do.

If anyone can help me out I'd like to thank you already!

Hey mate I use an mpk mini. If you're using the time division instead of the rate knob then this is not possible. At least I havent found a way.
If its on the rate setting, then assign the knob to a macro in massive, then assign the macro to your midi controller.

In ableton I would just bounce out the sounds in their time divisions to audio first.
Then use these clips in session view and assign your pads to trigger them. You can then record from session into the arrange view. :h:
