Akai MPK 49 and FL Studio
Posted on: 27.12.2012 by Kristel Wattenberg
Not really sure if i should post this in the Music Production community , or here. I guess both are okay, but if not, a mod will remove this post, and I won't be offended.

Anyway,
Just got back from guitar center with an Akai MPK49. I'm using FL Studio 10, but you probably figured out both of these things from the title.
Just wondering if anybody knows of a mapping i could download to get all the mixer faders, knobs, pads, keys, everything on the keyboard to be functioning inside FL.
I was looking around for that, or a tutorial on how to do it myself, but i had no luck.

Have you researched any other midi keyboards that are compatible with FL?

generally, how long does it take to map a preset?

(i'm probably wrong about this, i'm not experienced at mapping controllers for DAWs)
Point is, it would be great if i could find a mapping for absolutely every feature for FL, otherwise this is a fantastic keyboard.
That's exactly what the salesman at the guitar center said to me. The keys and the pads work, but for the faders/knobs/synthesizers/ they are not compatible with FL. This goes for the Axiom- Pro 49.

01.01.2013		Im not sure how your expecting the program to have knobs and pads already mapped.. Thats where your creativity comes in. Putting said sound on a pad, making an lfo change with a knob. Thats all specific to what you want it to do. No mapping can help you with that../
