NOTE: Most of the information covered in this video will apply to other Akai controllers as well. We&#8217;ll simply be using the MPD32 for demonstration purposes.<\/p>\n<h2>Configuring Your Akai MPD32 in Ableton Live 9<\/h2>\n<p>So we first need to make sure our controller is configured to work correctly with Live 9.<\/p>\n<p>When I first plugged my MPD32 to my computer via USB, Ableton automatically detected my MIDI controller and its configuration. When I was previously using an older version of Live, there was a little more work that went into\u00a0the configuration process.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s a couple quick things you need\u00a0to check on before proceeding with this tutorial:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0Options &gt; Preferences\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6615\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/preferences.png\" alt=\"preferences\" width=\"966\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/preferences.png 966w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/preferences-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. MIDI Sync<br \/>\n<\/strong>Here you want to\u00a0check that your &#8220;Control Surface&#8221; is\u00a0recognized\u00a0and configured correctly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6616\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/midi-sync.png\" alt=\"midi-sync\" width=\"561\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/midi-sync.png 561w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/midi-sync-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Configuring Your MPD32 Controller\u00a0Preset<\/h2>\n<p>Once your controller&#8217;s correctly configured and detected by Live, you now\u00a0need to double check and make sure your <strong>MPD32 is set to the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">LiveLite<\/span> preset.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6618\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mpd32-livelite-preset.jpg\" alt=\"mpd32 livelite preset\" width=\"691\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mpd32-livelite-preset.jpg 691w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mpd32-livelite-preset-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll now unlock some extra functionality of your controller with Live. As a quick test, you should now notice that the Stop, Play and REC buttons on the MPD will initiate those respective actions within your DAW. In addition, you&#8217;ve also unlocked some really cool features with your knobs and faders which we&#8217;ll discuss \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>Accessing up to 128 Samples in Ableton Drum Rack<\/h2>\n<p>Piggy backing on part 1 and 2 of this\u00a0tutorial series, we&#8217;ve also unlocked a really great option for accessing a large number of samples in Ableton Live&#8217;s drum rack. Instead of accessing the various control banks to shift samples like you might on\u00a0an MPC device, you can now auto-shift your sample banks\u00a0within the drum rack by simply dragging up and down and highlighting a new sample bank in the &#8220;Pad Overview&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6619\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sample-banks.png\" alt=\"sample banks ableton live\" width=\"494\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sample-banks.png 494w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/sample-banks-300x125.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Auto (Temporary) MIDI Mapping<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than having to take the time to globally MIDI map all of the macros we setup up from part 2 to our controller, we now have access to some really cool automatic and temporary (or local) MIDI\u00a0mapping functionality.<\/p>\n<p>When you select the drum rack in Live, your eight macro controls will automatically MIDI map to your MPD32 K1-K8 knobs. And as\u00a0long as the drum rack stays selected, you can control those macros from your\u00a0controller. This functionality will work for many other instruments and effects in Live, so I highly encourage you to experiment with these powerful capabilities!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6620 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/auto-midi-map-ableton-live-mpd32.png\" alt=\"ableton live akai mpd32 tutorial\" width=\"789\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/auto-midi-map-ableton-live-mpd32.png 789w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/auto-midi-map-ableton-live-mpd32-300x179.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Let\u2019s Connect!<\/h2>\n<h5>DID YOU FIND THIS VIDEO HELPFUL?\u00a0 DON\u2019T FORGET TO LIKE, COMMENT &amp; SHARE \ud83d\ude42<\/h5>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m very reachable on the following:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/\">Official Website<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/tcustomzdotcom\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/tcustomzproductionz\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/tcustomz\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tcustomz\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/tcustomz\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/tcustomz.com\/consulting.html\" target=\"_blank\"><button class=\"btn btn-large btn-danger\" type=\"button\">BOOK 1-ON-1 MUSIC PRODUCTION COACHING &gt;&gt;<\/button><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/tcustomz.com\/free-downloads.html\" target=\"_blank\"><button class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary\" type=\"button\">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE HIP HOP DRUM KIT &gt;&gt;<\/button><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 3 of the sampling in Ableton Live 9 tutorial series &#8211; digging into how you can next-level your workflow\u00a0with the Akai MPD32 controller and the built in Ableton Live functionality.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE TO WATCH PART 2 &gt;&gt;<br \/>\nCLICK HERE TO WATCH\u00a0[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1159,1154],"tags":[2154,1338,128],"class_list":["post-6609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ableton-live-tutorials-2","category-producer-tips-tutorials","tag-ableton-live-tutorials","tag-music-producer-tips","tag-sampling","post-1","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6609"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6622,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6609\/revisions\/6622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
