Akai MPK mini mkII joystick

in General App Discussion

I keep the Akai MPK mini mkII in my nightstand for easy bedroom producing with the iPad. The only issue I have with it is that the joystick has a center spring. This is fine for mapping to pitch bend, but it's very awkward when mapping to the virtual mod wheel of an app. As soon as I touch the joystick, the app's virtual mod wheel snaps to the center position and I need to hold the joystick in the down position to get zero modulation. Has anybody here found a workaround for this? Thanks.

    I had the same 'problem' before until I figured out that it's easy to solve by assigning 2 cc's to it, one for up and one for down.

    Here's a picture showing one of my MPK Mini Mk II setups to clarify the above.
    In this setup the 'mod-stick' down is cc4 (foot pedal on/off) cc2 would be 'breath controller' or practically any controller other than cc1 as that would cause mod-wheel to stay in the middle all the time since both up/down would be transmitting cc1 making the value stay in the middle.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for your help. I'll give it a try this weekend.

    UPDATE: Works like a charm! I even setup Program 4 to map the iVCS3 joystick!

    I found this thread with a google search and this solved my problem with the joystick. So thank you!

    I have a question: How do you connect the Akai MPK mini MPK2 to the ipad?

    Never thought of doing that. It was pissing me off bigtime.

    Sold it anyway and rebought a Launchkey Mini MK2.
    Bus powered and works very nice with BM3
