Sorry, the drop down menus are not showing in this screen capture of FL Studio. I added text instructions when there's a missing dropdown, so please follow those instructions.

Finally a tutorial that gets straight to the point, good looks 👍🏾

[@fuqummusic]

I always use Slicex to create MPC style chops. Load my sample/loop into Slicex, Set up all my slices, and try to keep it to a maximum of 16. Then right click within the slice, on the word "Marker #1", a dropdown appears. I hoover to "Trigger Note" and then hit Pad 1 on the MPD. The drop down disappears. Now if you hit Pad 1, the first slice will be triggered. Then right click on Marker #2, dropdown, "trigger note" hit Pad 2. Right click on Marker #3, dropdown, Trigger Note, Hit Pad 3, and so on, till I have done all 16.

Thanks man...very helpful. Is there also a way to map pads in order for the step sequencer channel? Example I have my omni settings at 1...but my sounds are not in order... I would have a sound on pad 14 and the next sound on pad 16

You can also try this: Load your sample/loop into Slicex, Set up all the slices. (try to keep it to a maximum of 16) Then right click within the slice, on the word "Marker #1", a dropdown appears. Choose "Trigger Note" and then hit Pad 1 on the MPD. The drop down disappears. Now if you hit Pad 1, the first slice will be triggered. Then right click on Marker #2, dropdown, "trigger note" hit Pad 2. Right click on Marker #3, dropdown, Trigger Note, Hit Pad 3, and so on, till you have done all 16.

[@JBENNETT921]

Thanks so much for this video

[@JBENNETT921]

Do you have any other tips/tricks like these?

[@EricGross144]

You're welcome yo! Ya, I have a whole website of free tips for FL Studio and other stuff. Link here: www.epsilon144.com/?req=misc&page=flstudio ...there are a few with the MPD, like changing the frequency of synths using the MPD knobs or automation. This creates a cool effect- It's like a note bend but not on the notes, instead it's on the frequency of the soundwaves. creates a warping sound and you can link it to the knobs on the MPD for easy recording into an FL Studio. The video for that is in the list through that link I gave, its called changing the frequency of a synth

[@fordleuer5993]

Can u tell me how to set the velocity of all pads to lets say 100% , so that its regardless how hard i push the pads ? Didtn found this function yet.

[@kaysCV]

Great tutorial. I'm having an issue when I try to map the FPC volume to the knobs. it happens that all knobs starts to control the volume. I dunno what to do. Any tips? thanks in advance.

HI! I Recently bought a brand new Akai MPD 26 and when I open it up it displays "UPGRADE No Firmware" and it seems to be stuck at that. How Do I resolve this issue? thanks

[@B-more_inspired]

I connected the mpd 218 but im not getting any sound

[@standread150]

yooo thanks a lot, very well explained!!! I have a question thoe! is a usb cable enough to use the mpd or do is the midi out and midi in cable necessary??

[@maeksu]

Just USB.

[@standread150]

Thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@samuelanderson1959]

you can add the akai softwaRE as a plugin into fl

[@MrSilvaback07]

How

[@tsotne5710]

i have no sound please helppp

[@soundalbeats]

Good tutorial, what plugin makes that strings or pads or what is it in that beat please?

[@EricGross144]

Thanks, it's the 90s DnB Pad, under the X Nucleon section of the Sytrus VST. I"m pretty sure it comes with the FL Signature Bundle. ...but it may be sold separately as well.

[@soundalbeats]

@@EricGross144 thank you, i like that type of sound 😁

[@cwcpants140]

Epsilon-144 Sytrus is my SHIT dude. I need to get more into sound design so i can show it more love. I just tweak knobs till i get somethin cool 😅

[@_viy]

A/B bank switch it's working? Can you assign & switch them on the controller?

[@EricGross144]

Should be able too as long as you assign the pads on each pad bank separately and save the project file

[@amonster8mymother]

I got the mpd26 today. I have had flstudio but I have a s2000 I'd rather use hardware.

[@MP-io8ij]

Sensual seduction.... :D

[@maeksu]

Damn, what version of FL is this? Ive never seen the FPC with that skin. Looks like Maschine mk

[@diegoalmaraz3630]

i have fl studio 20 and it looks exactly the same

[@amonster8mymother]

I never used a pad controller with fpc. I dont th8nk you nee that. ❤

[@amonster8mymother]

Oh mapping is better!!!
