Reply to Akai MPK Mini Help.

Well i bought my Mpk Mini today, excited to get it mapped and running.

I plan to map it alongside my Hercules RMX to have the pads controlling FX On/Off on bank 1, and hotcues on bank 2, with the knobs mapped to dry/wet for FX.
Also believeing about mapping some of the keys for beatjump/loops.

So to my questions:

Would it be better to map the effects to chained for FX decks 1/2 so i can have the knobs/pads correspond exactly to each effect with no modifiers needed? Considering this is how i normally have my effects set up anyway.

When it comes to mapping would it be easier to use the official RMX Traktor mapping which i currently use and re-map the MPK over the top, OR map both from scratch? Since i imagine there will be a lot of CC clashes (Unless i can change all the CCs in the mpk editor so they are different to the RMX).

I asumme i will have to map the outs for the LED changes on the pads aswell?

Will it be possible to map the keys for functions? There is no way in the MPK software to change their output, which i assume is midi notes - i'm a noob to mapping so i don't know if you can map notes as control functions?

Also, for some reason i have no copy of the user manual on my install disk - can't find it anywhere (Running Mac osx) so if somebody could maybe upload it for me that would be brilliant, as Akai only have a "Quick start" guide on their site.

Overall i'm really excited as i believe this will be a powerful set-up with control over more than enough parametres in Traktor, aswell as the fact i will be using it alongside logic.

Thanks for any help you can offer, i will be posting up a full .tsi once i am finished just incase it can be of any use for somebody.
