#Akai lpk25 setup update#

I have no clue whatsoever why, why, WHY this wasnвЂ™t documented. Pressed keys again.again, OMG YES.IT WORKS!! I opened a template in Logic, selected a keyboard, and press keys.OMG YES, it worked! With that, I quit Logic, unplugged the USB cable, switch the keyboard to Bluetooth and paired with my MBP, opened Logic again, and opened a template.

Then an epiphany occurred: what if I was to plug in the keyboard via the USB cable (again), only this time not making any choices at all via CS setup. But for the list of MIDI controllers, the LPK25 was listed as вЂњdisabledвЂќ out of the box, even with the controller plugged in, wired or wireless. Via Bluetooth, MIDI activity was detected.ДЄgain, my expectation was that I would find the AKAI driver вЂњinstalledвЂќ once it was detected by Logic. I even contacted Akai tech support, and the most IвЂ™ve gotten was using MIDI Monitor, but the directions given for what I should look for (Source = Akai LPK25 Wireless) and what actually was available (only Bluetooth opening MIDI Monitor gave me an error stating that it could not find a MIDI device) differed. I spent days on this, searching YouTube, searching Google, looking on Logic sites and groups, and posting queries about it. It didnвЂ™t either for wired or wireless, and it was mad confusing and frustrating. Now, the controller is labeled as class compliant in MacOS, so my assumption was that one of the icons that should show up in Control Surfaces setup is the Akai keyboard. My issue was trying to get the wireless keyboard to work in Logic X.

#Akai lpk25 setup update#

IвЂ™m currently running High Sierra (10.13.2), and my update of Logic X is 10.4.1. I was able to get it to work flawlessly on my iPad Pro (iOS 11), but had a devil of a time getting it to work on my Mac. Cuz really, I donвЂ™t want you to suffer trying to get it to work like I did! I didnвЂ™t see anything on this, but if youвЂ™re trying to get the Akai LPK25 wireless keyboard to work for you on a Mac, then this is for you.
