Apple could make an absolute mint if they made it easier for us. I was having second thoughts about getting the controller, instead just playing it on the iPad. Your video has changed my mind. Thanks loads. If there’re any other videos like this you could make, specifically for GB/IPad/Akai combo, please don’t hesitate. This one is priceless.

Thank you so much.. I was almost giving up using my brand new Akai because I couldn't find how to get there. Your video is amazing, so easy to understand. Thank you.

YOU'RE A GODDAMN HERO. This is the most coherent video about the MPK Mini to GB iOS I've found as of yet.

[WesleyNyle]

this is great, i use a different Akai Mini and this at least gave me the basics of how to use the editor and where to search to see how to set mine. thanks

[caseyjtovey]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It’s EXTREMELY helpful. Exactly what i was searching for.

omg the best video for this situation. concise and everything!

[tomthurber]

Thanks for making this video. I have a Mini Play, and I've been wondering how to do this for a long time. Your instructions actually worked for me, and mapping the drum pads only took about fifteen minutes with the help of your video.

Thanks so much! I cant wait to make cool beats on my IPad!

[mattround]

Exactly the video I was after - much appreciated... I’m more interested in the electronic kits which presumably don’t follow the MIDI standard, so a great tip to check Google images to check the notes. Thanks again

[DevilzDance]

Thank you SO much for making this video. Now I can actually use my AKAI!

[ishybeats]

soooo helpful, I've been thinking of getting one but some videos said you couldn't map it out but this shows that you can.

[bintarosadore]

Thank you sooo much ! It is super useful ✨

Thanks for the tutorials on how to use the akai midi keyboard on GarageBand. I have been in the market for a new midi keyboard in case my current one breaks. And this midi keyboard looks legit. I am thinking buying this midi keyboard. I record a lot music and I program drums using a midi keyboard.

[abewalker]

Thank you for the guidance on the general midi setup 👍🏽

[Eric-Olivier_]

Fantastic!!! So clear! I appreciate it a lot. Many thanks :-)

One of the most professional videos I see on YouTube ! 👍👍 Your name was not visible to call it (why not?) find the video very good and interesting for an absolute beginner like myself. Of u also make some beginner tutorials for Akai, I would buy it as well. Otherwise, hard to get into this area.

[craigpatchett]

Great video, but why do I need the hub?

[GuilhermeConforti]

you look like sly! kkk awesome video bro. thanks

[ulviugur]

I used the editor for the MK3 which worked fine 👍 Make sure you close MPC Beats application beforehand, otherwise it chrashes when it reads from the midi device for input and output.

I have a question why do i need the usb hub cant i just connect its directly
