have to say im really impressed with this so far, taken me a lil while to get used to but it seems to be pretty sik!
only concern so far is that the arp and the note repeat buttons dont seem to work unless i have missed somthing in the settings?
when i turn on note repeat the pads just stop working and when i turn on the arpegiator the keyboard stops working i had my concerns as im running windows 7 anyone know why this could be happening?

It depends on what host your using. You need to go into your midi settings in your daw and change the port number to 10 and make it the master sync.
Also when you have changed the settings the arp and note repeat will only work when your daw is playing as its sync'd.

If ya get stuck just give us a shout :)

Dabwa what daw do you use? I was considering getting it but I wasn't sure how it worked with Logic, programming and customizing wise. None the less it looks like a sick midi-controller!

@nowaysj

I found the sync to be alot more stable in flstudio by using it through my soundcards midi ports rather than using the usb cable. That also means you have to use a power pack to power the mpk.

Yeh man you still have to unplug it, But you dont have to restart fl when you power the mpk back up :wink:
