On my XP system it is "C:\Program Files\AkaiPro\MPKminiEditor\Presets".<br /><br />Also, on the subject of instructions, I was experiencing the problem with drum pad assignment until this latest update prompted me to read back through the comments. It might be worth emphasising in your instructions that the sequence of actions required (in XP at least) is:<br /><br />0> ensure Reason is not running (it may "hold on" to your MPK mini when you try to reprogram it)<br />1> open MPK mini editor<br />2> select "load preset" and navigate to the folder noted above<br />3> select the "reason.preset" file and "open"<br />4> select "1" as the "preset#"<br />5> click "upload"<br />6> click "ok" on "upload successful" dialog<br />You can repeat steps 4 to 6 selecting 2,3 then 4 as the "preset#" to make all 4 presets work identically with Reason.<br /><br />Thanks again. A sustain 'pedal' AND properly assigned drum pads. Great work!<br /><br />Stuart@cicerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500433761712375896noreply@blogger.com
