Making the play button on the Akai MPK49 Work with Logic

Your MPK's transport buttons (Play, Record, etc) can send MMC commands that Logic will respond to.

 

All you need to do in Logic is to go to Settings > Synchronization> MIDI and under MIDI Machine Control (MMC) check the Listen to MMC Input box. Keep in mind this is a project setting, so unless you save it as a template you'll have to check that box for each new project you begin to work on.

 

On the MPK, you need to make sure the transport buttons are sending MMC commands (you can set them to MMC or MMC/MIDI either will work) an then save the preset after the settings have been made.

 

Pretty straight forward. :wink:

 

Alternatively, you can have the MIDI messages sent by the MPK's buttons trigger Logic's transport key commands by assigning these in Logic's key commands window, using the Learn New Assignment button.
