Just an update for anyone with similar issues…

The AKAI MPK series does not transmit Sysex. I used the USB method and it worked great. If I ever need to install an update I supposed I’ll have to find someone with a Sysex-transmitting MIDI device – for now I’m a happy customer.

Thanks so much to Zaquencer for it’s behind-the-scenes trouble-shooting assistance: the customer service really is great!

Thanks for your response guys.

Yes you’re right, there were no numbers on the BCR screen.

Alien Brain – thanks, I will try using elektron6 a bit later.

I think the problem might be that my Akai can’t transmit Sysex. It says in the manual it can send Sysex TX, but I think this is only Sysex info from the Akai itself.

Zaq – I’ve seen the post by Cyril in the other thread, saying that he used a USB connection straight from the computer. You say that this only works for the first upload. Does this mean I should do it with the full (paid for) version, rather than the demo? If I upload the demo via USB, does this mean I won’t then be able to upload the full version aftwerwards?

Thanks again for your time.
