Hi2all
I was never introduced to music except a few chords on the guitar.
I love programming and I accidentally found PureData.
My girlfriend recently gave me an akai mpk mini to play:so anyone, some advice on how to connect it to PureData?and something interesting to do?
@traitrkng On OSX or Windows, you should be able to just hook it up to your computer's usb slot, open Pd and select it from the MIDI dialog. Then you can go to the Media menu and select the item to test audio and midi and see if it's connected.
Ahoi, does anybody know how to connect the akai mpk mini with the deluge in host mode?
I just found this inspiring video:
...but unfortunately it isn't working with the mpk mini - are there any suggestions, what to do!?
