USING THE MPD24 WITH SPECTRASONICS STYLUS RMX
1.
To use the MPD24 with Stylus RMX you will need to copy the [Akai] folder from the
[Spectrasonics-StylusRMX MIDI Templates] folder on the CD-ROM to the following folder on
your computer.
SAGE/Stylus RMX/Patches/MIDI Learn
2.
After you have copied the folder, load the Factory Preset on the MPD24 named [Stylus].
3.
Open your host software and open an instance of Stylus RMX.
4.
Go to the lower right hand corner of the Stylus RMX interface and select the disk icon.
5.
In the disk icon menu select [MIDI Learn] and then select [Load Template].
6.
Navigate to the [AKAI] folder and choose one of the 4 MIDI template files that we have created for
you.
The MIDI Learn Template files are as follows:
Akai_MPD24_Chaos.ctl_rmx
Akai_MPD24_Kit.ctl_rmx
Akai_MPD24_Mixer.ctl_rmx
Akai_MPD24_Part.ctl_rmx
All of the templates map the MPD24's faders to the parameters in the "EASY" menu.
Fader 1 = Volume
Fader 2 = Pan
Fader 3 = Pitch
Fader 4 = Decay
Fader 5 = Tone
Fader 6 = Emphasis
The MPD24 knob mappings are as follows:
Akai_MPD24_Chaos
Knob 1
Chaos On/Off
Pattern
Knob 2
Knob 3
Repeat
Knob 4
Reverse
Knob 5
Pitch
Knob 6
Buzz
Buzz Time
Knob 7
Knob 8
Buzz Speed
Pad banks are mapped out to make use of the 3 main modes in Stylus RMX.
Pad Bank A is mapped best for Kits. This is not a chromatic mapping but is mapped so as to lay out the kit
samples in the best way for general playing.
Pad Bank B is mapped to make use of the Groove mode. It is mapped sequentially from pad B1 to B16
Pad Bank C and D are mapped to make use of Slice mode. Due to the note range of "Slice" mode there are
some Groove mode pad mappings in the bank D, specifically pads D9-D16.
These are just some basic MIDI Learn templates and MPD24 presets.
We would suggest playing with having different pads mapped to Toggle mode or mapping pads to different
MIDI channels so as to access different parts.
Stylus RMX is capable of many complex controller and pad mappings and the MPD24 makes a great
companion to this product.
