Quick Start
Device Setup in Software
To select MPK mini as a controller for your digital audio workstation (DAW):
1. Connect MPK mini to your computer using a standard USB cable. (If you are connecting
MPK mini to a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub.)
2. Open your DAW.
3. Open your DAW's Preferences, Options, or Device Setup, select MPK mini as your
hardware controller, and then close that window.
Your MPK mini is now able to communicate with your software.
MPK mini Editor Installation
We recommend visiting akaipro.com/mpkmini and downloading the MPK mini Editor, which
gives you a visual and intuitive way to edit the various MIDI messages that MPK mini's
controls (pads, knobs, and X-Y controller) send to your computer.
Learn more about the MPK mini Editor in the User Guide included with the download package.
