Thank you so much, I actually thought I have bought this for nothing

[@2BeBluntPodcast]

I’m so confused. Once I apply the program in the program editor software to ram note repeat doesn’t work, I can’t menu dive for chords or anything really, it just shows your program is loaded.

[@stleal94]

Thank you so much, everything is working fine for me in FL Studio Professional Edition. I bought your Akai Mini Plus FL Studio Template, and after importing the settings into my Akai Mini Plus Professional Keyboard and the Control Script into FL Studio, now I can finally play instruments in FL Studio and hear sound in my headphones. I looked everywhere online on the internet, but could not find a better guide or template. With your template, everything is working as expected, exactly the way I wanted. Each pad triggers a separate channel in FL Studio, the keyboard is working fine and responsive, and also all of the control buttons (fast forward, backward, stop, play, and record) are working too. Your template saved the day! Thanks, again. Thumbs up.

[@thisisalbe]

Very welcome! I appreciate the support and the feedback.

[@RyanOS95]

Worked tremendous, Thank you!

[@thisisalbe]

Great to hear!

[@johannespriefert9910]

Dear Al Be, the Template is working and I was hardly able to import it to the correct folder. Maybe it is not working because I use the trial version of FL Studio at the moment. I gonna continue an upcoming day, thx for explaining in the video

[@thisisalbe]

It should work in the trial version too. Please email [e-mail]

[@asmity2249]

Thank you very much, everything worked as expected, thanks !

[@thisisalbe]

You're welcome!

[@Ab22Awesomesauce]

I am looking to purchase this script soon but I was wondering if you were able to get the knobs to work or if that’s something you’ll be adding in the future because I would like to have the pads transport and knobs unlocked regardless I’m still planning on buying because this is something I have been searching for and you’ve answered my prayers 😂

[@thisisalbe]

The knobs are tricky because you have to assign them to what you want. I have another video on that kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmjNo2B5ZdCCsM0si=iaS348EldrWyZhZk

[@Ab22Awesomesauce]

@@thisisalbe thanks soo much 🙏🏽

[@Bearpunss]

On version 3 and I’m not getting any of your drums, what should be on for output ?

[@thisisalbe]

Output shouldn’t matter for what I’m showing here just Omni port. Email us [e-mail] and include screenshot of your fl midi settings and your order number

[@roughdragon4013]

Very helpful video. I am getting a MPK mini plus very soon and use the FL studio 21 version with all VSTi . This will save me time setting up and getting to know the midi controller. Big thumbs up and a thank you for taking the time to make the video I have subscribed to your channel😊

[@thisisalbe]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Tatebrandmedia]

I am having an issue with the install. I did the first part of mapping with success thanks for that, but the second part where you say to copy and paste into the folder was followed to the T. But I don't see it in FLSTUDIO as an option to select under controller type. Also, I noticed that when I did the install on the first part, mine said vers 3 and not version 2 like in your video. I am assuming that you updated the software .

[@thisisalbe]

Yes I updated it since v2. Email [e-mail]

[@carloschichino650]

I can’t find the Mpk mini software manager for my download. I only have the Important and Optional to download from.

[@slickstudios463]

go to my hardware, click on the image for MPK mini plus, it should show all the programs you can download below.

[@jaysonnixon3082]

Lets goooo thank you big bro🙌

[@thisisalbe]

You’re welcome man! Hope it helps you make some good music and enjoy doing it. ✌🏾

[@marcincygron]

Just perfect. Thanks.

[@thomasmeulenberg1337]

Good and clear video, almost everything works. However, the transport controls don't seem to work since FL studio can't find the script... More people in the comment section have the same problem, does anyone have a solution for this? Spend hours and hours trying to solve the issue but i can't find the solution.

[@thisisalbe]

I’ll have to test this again this weekend. Did you try refreshing midi script and what version of FL are you running?

[@thomasmeulenberg1337]

appreciate the quick response, tried both FL 20 and 21 and indeed refreshed the midi scripts but no result sadly..@@thisisalbe

[@antoniotankersley5073]

Me too I did the same and still no script

[@zanmuzik2875]

How does this template differ from the Free one on the FL forums? Are knobs 1-8 mapped within your template?

[@thisisalbe]

I’m not familiar with the one on forums I’ll check it out though

[@saulobibiano7884]

Me passa esse modelo do fóruns please

[@revolverxxxx]

I was able to get the program attached to the controller, but the play stop controls is not working my controller isnt showing up in the list

[@thisisalbe]

You try refreshing midi devices in mid settings?

[@revolverxxxx]

@thisisalbe yes sir I've removed un-installed, installed and unzipped and reapplied but still nothing, I'm running windows 11 if that has anything to do with it, good news is it works with the pads lol which is very handy.

[@thisisalbe]

Hey man, I just tested this. Simply plugged in my keyboard (that still has the template applied to it) and chose Controller Type = MPK Mini Plus in the MIDI Settings (F10) Immediately the play stop and record (transport) functions started working. I made this template a couple of FL versions ago but today I am running FL 24 and it still works. If you still have issues email [e-mail] and we can get you sorted out.

[@revolverxxxx]

Big thanks for the support

[@richcrawford6123]

Using V3 of the template, got it loaded on the mini and have the correct hardware script selected. The arp and note repeat functionsdo not work at all when this program is selected.

[@thisisalbe]

Does it work for you in the other modes?

[@richcrawford6123]

@@thisisalbe awesome of you to follow up! sorry for the late reply. I have realized my problem was that flstudio has to be recording/playing for the tempo to be detected by the controller, which then allows for note repeat/arp.

[@abelmp1334]

Bro thank u for the tutorial, the pads do work but im having the same problem as the people on the comments, the stop/play/record buttons do not work. Since we also paid money for the tutorial i think it would be important for you to drop an update on how to resolve this issue. Thank you and i wait your response.

[@thisisalbe]

Yeah a few ppl have said that lately. I’ll have to test it this week.

[@abelmp1334]

@@thisisalbe thank u and its kind of sad how the brand itself doesnt give a proper set up method for every famous Daw, but since u are the only one that kind of helped setting it up i just wanted to ask you if you could update it. Thank u and ill wait for that! have a great week sir.

i suppose that there is a problem with "BPM: EXT" and i see no option how to setup

thanks for this video bro, only one thing. the pad file worked, but the script didn't. I bought it and everything. After I open the MPK mini plus (user) script, the whole program goes silent and nothing happens. does any1 know a fix?

[@afternoontiger]

figured it out have to set input port to 1 everything else he said but that.

[@DidierDumond]

hi, i just brought your MPK script, but MPK Mini plus (user )didn't appear and my REC,PLAY etc doesnt work... what ithe problem here?

[@thisisalbe]

Make sure you're running the latest FL studio. Your transport buttons will not work properly until you get the right MPK Plus user script as I show.

[@MitchandDProductions]

When I go into midi settings in FL Studio it still says generic instrument. Everything else is right, where did I go wrong?

[@thisisalbe]

You can change that

[@MitchandDProductions]

@@thisisalbe well yea I know that but the driver for my mpk mini plus isn't an option in the drop-down menu. In your video it looked like it was automatically there when you brought up the midi settings.

bravo!!! mais le modèle fl studio de mpk mini plus est payant sur le site donné!! il nexiste pas en gratuit? merci

Any chance you can help with an Akai APC64 in Fruity Loops? I can't get it to work.

[@TOXIN_001]

Can't find, MPK mini Plus (user) for type of controller

[@flossondatrack8861]

With Mine, it was Omni 12. You should do one for Studio One 6

[@thisisalbe]

That's interesting, I just double checked and it should be Omni preview channel 11

[@thisisalbe]

You must have an original version…it’s 11 now.

[@flossondatrack8861]

Yeah, I don’t know why it works perfect on Omni preview channel 12 for mine. But it does work.

[@beatsongang5695]

Can I do the same with akai mpd? (Fingerdramming without fpc)

[@antoniotankersley5073]

Yo I did everything you said but it's not showing up in the midi where you select the script

[@thisisalbe]

Email us at [e-mail] we will get you right

[@marcopetrillo6084]

Will this still work with just the MPK mini? I am so lost and have no idea what to do

[@thisisalbe]

I have other templates for the MPK Mini MK3 or the MPK Mini Play MK3. Go to allbangerz.com and find the one for your keyboard. Email [e-mail] if you still need help.

[@saulobibiano7884]

Caso não funcione eu tenho reembolso? Falo do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@HashhV]

yo bruh !! i have problem .the pads are not working .just playing only 1 channel in all pads

[@thisisalbe]

It's probably your omni channel settings. Set the Omni preview channel to 11. If you still have issues, send a screenshot of your FL MIDI settings and of the template loaded into the editor to [e-mail]

[@_Doom_20]

Man I am having issues with pads not activating while finger drumming using multiple pads, or even just hitting a kick drum and snare, it's so inconstant.

[@thisisalbe]

This sounds like a driver issue. What driver are you using?

[@_Doom_20]

@@thisisalbe not sure at all, I updated it as soon as I plugged it in. I just went ahead and grabbed the MPC one plus 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@meinhardssuvaizdis680]

so i cant use this keyboard without buying your teamplate????

[@thisisalbe]

You def can use it. However the template is so the pads work like a drum machine and keep the drums in separate channels for ease of mixing or midi exporting

[@sonicmek9793]

Information should be free.

[@thisisalbe]

Information wants to be free…I know the philosophy. But practically speaking…it’s not. Cameras, editing software, music software, testing time, store build out aren’t free so the information from that isn’t free. Even charities are funded somehow. 🤷🏽‍♂️
