This guide uses the MPK Mini MKII and Ableton Live Lite to go over the basics of using MPC Essentials as a plug-in in your DAW, and how to use multiple instances for several tracks worth of MPC features and functionality. Although this may seem limiting at first, there are plenty of ways to use this to your advantage and allow MPC Essentials to expand with you as your productions grow. These "fix" steps may be completely obvious to some but it wasn't to me, so I'm sharing for all you sad sacks out there who also can't figure it out.MPC Essentials is a one-track version of the full MPC software. I tried for a few weeks to submit emails to Akai customer service and click the little link over and over. I came back from a few month hiatus to a previous software version which gave me an alert that it was out of date & uninstalled itself. this worked for my situation and may not work for you.

If you haven't done so already, or this doesn't apply, then the rest of this comment may not apply either. I purchased one of Akai's midi boards last year and had already created an account on their website and registered my product. But last night I FINALLY FIXED MY ISSUE, or found a workaround, or at least something that worked for me. Hi, I came here to say that I waited for weeks and never received any email.
