Setting up Akai MPD218 with Nanostudio 1 TRG

Hi, does anyone know how to set-up an Akai MPD218 pad controller so that it can be used to control Nanostudio's TRG pad? When I plug mine in pad the rows are out of sync. Pad 5 of the Akai is Pad 1 of the TRGthrough to pad 16 of the Akai being pad 12 of the TRG. Pads 1 to 4 of the Akai don't do anything.

    I don't recall the MIDI note numbers for the TRG. I think the first pad is C2 but you'll have to experiment to be sure. You can also use main menu to transpose the MIDI input to match the TRG's range. Open the menu and then long press on the TRG you want to control. Sounds like you'll just need to adjust the transpose by 4 notes up or down. Otherwise, you'll need to program the MPD to send out the correct notes which I think is C2-E3 but it's been a while.

    Bang on it Will, thank you very much, a transpose of 4 down did it. :)

    I have an mpd32 and had the same problem,but just by switching pad bank a to pad bank b.I was able to use all pads in order from 1 to 16. Don't know if it will work on your mpd216.
