hey guys,  
if you’re using Maschine as your main DAW you will find a nice midi translate preset  
for Akai Midimix and the Akai LPD8.

Akai Midimix:

- this preset will light up the button leds and toggle hold the button.
- the faders are going to 0 when value \< 15
- the faders are going to 127 when value \> 110  
(this prevents the faderglitch in my case where the faders are ‘jumping’)
- fader1 is inverted and you can link it to an hipass filter for a bassline for example

Akai LPD8

- the pads will light up by the Sounds of a group.  
for example Pad1 lights up everytime the drumkick hits, or the clap or any other drumsample at the  
group.
- you can link the pads to toggle on/off the sounds in group when you switch from PAD-Mode to CC-Mode

it works but its definately ‘work in progress’ and needs to be adapted to your midi messages. 😉
