Will the unit "automap" the controls with Ableton Live pro 10 without additional sofware?

If you download the software that comes with the keyboard, follow the novation instructions to set up preferences in ableton(easy) it integrates perfectly. I use ableton and a line 6 toneport. My 7 year old grand daughter could set this up. There are 3 "in control" buttons on the keyboard that make things simple once you play with it.

Ableton Live 9.1.6, is the current version, there is no v10 yet. Novation Launchkey is a class compliant device - with built in drivers for PC/MAC. Plug it in to Live, and set the surface controller as Launchkey49.

no. you can gave up to 4 separate midi layouts at one time by cycling with the program button. giving you a total of 32 knobs and pads.

i dont think you will need your controller. It comes with a sptectrum DX6i remote already for the program. Try using your remote and see if it works.

You can manually map any akai professional controller to almost any DAW, i use my lpd8 with both ableton, fl studio and traktor so i would assume it will work for you as well.

The unit is powered through usb. Depending on what software you're using, it may have presets built in already without needing software. I'm sure Akai has the drivers /software online for download also. Hope that helps! Oh, and you can program your DAW to have it do what ever you want.

It should work with any music software or DAW. Although I'm not sure if the "Hypercontrol" auto mapping will work with Magix Music Maker. You'll probably have to map controls manually if hypercontrol doesn't work! But aside from that. Everything should work fine! Hope this helped.

It comes with its own software hercules dj pro...you can create a custom midi maps for other software like traktor, virtual dj etc. Also www.djtechtools.com may have a map already for vdj 8

You need a piece of software to translate the A, B, C into other key combos, or macros. I use Controller Mate (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/) for this purpose, and it works great, which is more then I can say for the foot pedal itself. I assume there are other solutions.I've never attempted to use the software provided (never even installed it) because I already had Controller Mate in use for other automation tasks.

Yes. Not sure how well it would work with fl studio though. I use logic x and not many of the buttons can be assigned to actually do something. Might want to look into that

Unfortunately no, not out of the box. There is supposedly a way to install something that will allow you to not have to re-map the knobs every time you switch tracks, but it did not work for me when I tried to set it up.

Yes you can just use the program that comes with it. All you need to do is have the pedal set to C and below that are checkboxes for Shift / Ctrl / Alt so you can make copying and pasting easy.

As as i know, it will work with any software as long as the program itself support external devices and setting up input configuration to assign all controllers.m using Ableton on Mac and it work just perfect :) check their website and read the manual:http://www.akaipro.com/product/mpk-mini-mkii#system_requirements

I use Virtual DJ. I hear you can use Traktor with it but I haven't tried and I think you might have to do some mapping with it. Good luck!

As far as I know, you can only use the keyboard from the Ms-20 mini to control other vsts, you won't be able to use the knobs

Yes. it will work as a midi controller just fine. I know that novation product work really well with ableton but will work fine with logic, pro tools etc.

I googled your question, and apparently it can be mapped, but only as a midi controller; meaning some of the features will not work perfectly. I wouldn't do it tough, because the controller is specially made to work with Serato and there are amazing features you'll miss using VDJ. My advice is, if you get this... learn serato. (Using it like a CDJ or even in sync mode). It'll take some time to get used to it, but it's one of the two most used professional DJ software in the world. A second option, could be to get the Pioneer DDJ Ergo, that's made for VDJ. Or, consider Traktor's software and hardware, that could be a nice transition from where you are used to play.

I have not try that, I use my laptop and IE to control it. And the manual did not mention it. The control is going through ActiveX.
