Message: [QUOTE="Lexicolatry, post: 174708, member: 7739"] Good morning all! This is just a little shout out into the void, in case anyone can help me. I recently bought the Akai MPK249 and took my first faltering steps into the world of MIDI music. It came with MPC Essentials, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to play any sounds. Some pertinent information (perhaps): * The keyboard is connected to my computer via its USB lead * MPC Essentials is recognising the keyboard's input (the relevant keys flash on the onscreen keyboard when I play something), but there is no sound * I have selected MPCEsnt from the keyboard's presets Are there any basic mistakes I might be making that are preventing me from hearing my shiny new MIDI controller? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm running out of hair to pull out : o ) [/QUOTE]
