Hi. Am struggling with shuttle setup for a knob on MPK MK3. From the user manual and Internet I still could not figure out how to set it up with SW states, set etc. Is it even possible?
If only you could share a hint or example how to set up the State/Set and Actions.
Thank you.
A "shuttle action" has no fixed definition and I don't own MK3.
Lets start with knobs:
Are knobs on MK3 encoders? In other words, can you turn them infinitely in one direction?
If yes, you first have to be sure they are also mapped as such, so they send (almost) the same value when you turn them clockwise and another, still (almost) the same, value when contr-clockwise. If not, you will need to use Akai utility to change the behavior. Also it is important it really sends "almost" the same value (so called "accelerated" mode, better) or exactly the same.
If knobs are in fact "knobs", so finite controls (like on my MK1), the logic of preset will be different.
And now about "shuttle action". Do you mean jogging, so change cursor position by beats/measures, or something else?
PS. long time ago, Cakewalk had own control surface. And from what I remember there was "shuttle ring" around jogging wheel on it. Obviously "shuttle" behavior was different from jogging. MK3 doesn't have such control.
PS.PS. AZ Controller supports almost everything possible to imagine, including mentioned special shuttle functionality, touch strips, etc. But before I make suggestion / example, I have to understand what your device sends and what you want it does ;)
Thank you for prompt respond. I now seem to realize the issue with shuffle. Just changing the knob behavior from finite to infinite and replacing shuffle with Jog action did the job.
