In this example I am using the factory preset number 5 “Live” and copying it to empty presets 15 & 16 for further editing, thus keeping the original intact. We are going to use it to copy some presets to a new location and begin editing them.
As of writing the current version is 1.10.Īs you can see below, Vyzex is a very straight forward graphical interface for the MPD24 whic allows easy editing of all control surface parameters. Vysex has comprehensive documentation included, which fully covers the Firmware updating procedure, so i won’t go over it here.

If you haven’t already, download the latest Firmware for your MPD24 and a copy of Vyzex by Psicraft.
#AKAI MPD 24 MIDI CONTROLLER UPDATE#
We are going to use Vyzex by Psicraft to update the firmware and edit the MPD24 to suit our needs. This is, however, a very tedious method, multiple edits take a very long time. Preset editing and general pad/slider/knob assignments and adjustments are usually made through the built-in LCD screen and onboard buttons. To start off with, let’s get our MPD24 set up just how we want it.
Akai MPD24 Firmware upgrading & preset editing with Vyzex Added to this we will control the recording and triggering of the clips with an Akai MDP24. Ableton Live + GrandVJ + MPD24Īrkaos GrandVJ has limitations when it comes to synchronizing with MIDI, so in this tutorial we are going to focus on using Ableton Live to expand our options with precise clip triggering by making it control GrandVJ. It is assumed that you are familiar with the basic operation of an MPD24, including edit presets and controller parameters, and basic MIDI mapping within Ableton Live. This tutorial involves using an Akai MPD24 Drum Controller in conjunction with Ableton Live as a host sequencer and ArKaos GrandVJ as a ReWire slave for MIDI synchronised video clip launching. Huge thanks to Modemasters for having done such a clear Tutorial! Although focused on the MPD24, it’s a good general overwiew of using GrandVJ with Ableton Live and MIDI controllers. Note: This is an un-edited post originally written by Modemasters (G’day Adelaide!) on VJ Forums, but we thought it might be worth having a copy here.
