Fl Studio midi mapping for the Akai MPD26 midi controller

Akai MPD26 script for Fl Studio

Allows the Akai MPD26 to communicate with FL Studio via a Python API.

Installation

1. Download the zip file and extract the files to here C:\Users\<user_name>\Documents\Image-Line\FL Studio\Settings\Hardware\akai-mpd26

2. In the FL Studio MIDI settings, select Akai MPD26 (user) from the controller type dropdown.

MPD26 Setup

All of the buttons, pads, and faders have been mapped to functionality within Fl Studio. The first two knobs have been mapped but the remaining ones are free at the moment. However this could change in the future.

Buttons

The buttons are mapped to the transport controls but when certain windows or plugins are focused some of the functionality changes. Below I've outlined the functionality for each button as well as the expected hardware settings.

This script was adapted from the awesome work that David Maness (@bellydrum) created for the MPD 226. Here is the a link to the original script.
