Image-Line FL Studio

Setup

1. Download the FL Studio controller map to your computer from the included CD or from www.akaipro.com/max49

2. With FL Studio closed, copy the entire MAX49 folder (the folder itself, not just its contents) to the following location in

your computer: C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 8\Data\Projects\Templates\Hardware.

3. Connect MAX49 to your computer with the included USB cable. Open FL Studio.

4. On MAX49, select the FLStudio or FLStudKS Program. Press the VALUE DIAL to load it.

Note: If you have edited MAX49's Programs and are unable to load the Program, use the supplied Vyzex editor to

load the Factory Preset Bank and "PUT" or download the factory preset bank into MAX49.

5. Press F10, or go to Options f MIDI Settings.

6. Under Output, select MAX49 (Windows 7/Vista) or USB Audio Device (Windows XP), and check the Send master

sync box.

7. Under Input, select MAX49 (Windows 7/Vista) or USB Audio Device (Windows XP), and check the Enable box.

8. For Omni preview MIDI channel, select Channel 16.

9. For Generator muting MIDI channel, select Channel 15.

10. Check the Record to step sequencer box.

MAX49's FL Studio Program is configured to use FL Studio's step sequencer. For working with the Piano Roll, use one of

the Akai MPK's generic templates.

FLStudio

MAX49's FL Studio Program has a sampler channel dedicated to each pad:

• Pad Bank A: Plays each channel at its true pitch.

• Pad Bank B: Mutes the corresponding PAD.

• Pad Bank C: Selects the corresponding channel, allowing for each channel to be played chromatically with

MAX49's KEYBOARD.

• Pad Bank D: Plays the sample loaded on the selected track in semitones.

MAX49's S-SWITCHES will select additional tracks beyond the first 12, allowing for easy selection of generators, VST

plug-in channels, etc.

FLStudKS

This Program is almost the same as the FL Studio Program described above, but this version allows you to turn MAX49's

Sequencer on/off by pressing keys on its KEYBOARD. To do this:

1. Press SEQ SELECT so it is lit.

2. Press ON/OFF so it is lit.

3. Press and hold a key on MAX49's KEYBOARD. The Sequence will play (in that key) while the key is being held.

When you release the key, the Sequence will stop.

Note: (To "latch" the Sequencer, press [LATCH] so it is lit. When this button is activated, Sequencer playback will

continue even after the key is released.)
