Mapping Transport Buttons of AKAI MPK Mini Mk4

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Hi,

I just want to share a minimalistic MIDI-map that binds the transport buttons of the AKAI MPK Mini Mk4 to the corresponding buttons in Ardour:

<ArdourMIDIBindings version="1.0.0" name="AKAI MPK mini mk4"> 
<!-- MMC MIDI Mapping for Akai MPK mini mk4 -->
<Binding channel="1" ctl="73" action="Transport/ToggleRollForgetCapture"/>
 <!-- stop and forget REC -->
<Binding channel="1" ctl="76" action="Transport/ToggleRoll"/> 
<!-- toggle PLAY/PAUSE -->
<Binding channel="1" ctl="77" function="toggle-rec-enable"/> 
<!-- REC -->
 </ArdourMIDIBindings>

Save the mapping as AKAI_MPKmini_mk4.map in ~./config/ardour9/midi_maps.

Make shure to choose the correct MIDI-port in the controller-settings for “Incoming MIDI on:”, namely “MPK mini IV DAW Port (capture)” and the MIDI-Binding you created.
