They want to force you to upgrade hardware when drivers are no longer current. They want to sell you an mpd18, and they wont make the mistake of having the 18 good forever with a midi port. Well they said absolutely not, and a short while later we see why. I asked akai if a vista driver was coming out or something newer than xp. I tested this 3 or 4 years ago on two different vista machines. But when you open a daw and enable the mpd.

Probably would run on Windows 7 in compatibility mode.yeah well on vista you can install the winxp mpd16 app and driver package. How sick would it be if all gear had a 'cheat sheet' on the bottom panel?The MPD16 had an editor app but I think it was one of those ones that never got upgraded after Leopard OS X.

Shey should have kept the additional button they added and spend the penny saved on the midi port.

There is a sticker under it reminding you what buttons do what cause you can assign the slider too.kind of cool. It's the simplest midi thing to set up and it remembers your setting when unplugging it. But yeah I don't even know if the MPD18 can be edited from the hardware.well i know the 16 doesn't even require a screen to do it. On two 5 pin MIDI plugs the editor works fine.On a side note the MPD/MPK's with LCD's are actually really quick to program from the hardware. I haven't been able to get the MPD32 to upload or receive the preset dump over USB in years.

Then hold pad 2 on the mpd and push full level quick till pad 2 on the fpc gets triggered. If you miss it, just push 16 levels to cycle back down to it. And quickly tap full level until you hear/see it triggering the pad 1 on the FPC. Now you can switch the note number the pad represents by cycling up and down.

You will see the pads are not in order right?so hold the active button for 3 seconds until the light turns red. Open a fpc.now with your mpd 16 attached to the computer. Reason and Live do this much, much better.If you have $50 and want a VST that's like the FPC but superior check this out. It works but it's just not intuitive in the least. I will warn you though, every time you load a preset into the FPC your mappings will get erased.If you want to make the mappings permanent you better start reading this -I think FL's MIDI mapping is way more trouble than it's worth and is probably the least user friendly implementation of MIDI mapping I've ever seen. You could continue down the note list and do Bank 2 as well if you want.The majority of MPD presets follow this chromatic note ordering, with the exception of the GM Drum map and the Live preset which uses more than MIDI channel 1A.Save a blank FL song file with the FPC loaded and your assignments done and you can make new kits off that. Just go down the note list in order until you have all 16 pads remapped. Press Pad 2, repeat the process but make Pad 2 C#3. Press Pad 1 on the FPC and look in the upper right where it says 'MIDI note'. A majority of plugins default to this being the first note on the keys or pads.So load an FPC and look in the upper right corner of the plugin GUI. But if you know what to look for on an interface/GUI it's much smoother sailing.MIDI has 128 possibles values it can send a message with, 0-127.

If you want to make beats with software or hardware it's best to know at least the basics, as you will encounter issues like you're having all the time. First off I'm going to suggest doing a little reading up on MIDI in general.
