This Program is designed to be used with Ableton Live. (MAX49 comes with Ableton Live Lite
Akai Edition.)
For use with Propellerhead Reason. This Program supports the Reason Remote protocol with
supplied codec files, which you may need to install. Each module in Reason will automatically
map itself to MAX49's controllers. This allows you to use a single MAX49 preset to control all of
the modules in Reason.
For use with Steinberg Cubase.
For use with Apple Logic Pro.
For use with Image-Line FL Studio.
For use with FXpansion's GURU.
For use with Pro Tools.
A standard General MIDI drum and controller mapping, ideal for general drum use.
A general mapping in which MAX49's PADS use a chromatic scale.
User Programs – for your own use!
The included Programs are intended to be a starting point for your use. You can easily edit and store
your own Programs (see the EDIT MODE section of the included MAX49 Quickstart Guide). The
software mentioned in this manual allows incredible amounts of control with MAX49. By using
multiple MIDI channels, controllers, pad modes and program changes, you can easily create some
incredible music.
Enjoy!

Live
When using MAX49's Live Program, the controls' behavior is as follows:
TRANSPORT CONTROLS (Play, Stop, Rec, etc.): These controls are set to MIDI CC, so they will work accordingly in the
software.
BANK 1-8:
TOUCH FADERS: These control various parameters in your software Devices (Instruments, Audio Effects, etc.).
S-SWITCHES: These switch the TOUCH FADERS between various "banks" so you can control different sets of
parameters within that Device.
BANK 9-16:
TOUCH FADERS: These control the volume level of Tracks 1-8.
S-SWITCHES: These record-arm Tracks 1-8.
BANK 17-24:
TOUCH FADERS: These control the Send A levels of Tracks 1-8.
S-SWITCHES: These record-arm Tracks 1-8.
BANK 25-32:
TOUCH FADERS: These control the Send B levels of Tracks 1-8.
S-SWITCHES: These record-arm Tracks 1-8.
Note: [SEQ CC] is set to MIDI CC #74, so MAX49 will send CC #74 anytime its Sequencer is on. You can change the
CC# in Edit Mode. See the EDIT MODE section of the included MAX49 Quickstart Guide.
LiveKS
This Program is almost the same as the Live Program described above, but this version allows you to turn MAX49's
Sequencer on/off by pressing keys on its KEYBOARD. To do this:

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.)

Propellerhead Reason
Reason allows for vast control of its parameters. Propellerhead Software has developed a way to remap a single control
surface to each of the modules in Reason. This protocol is called Reason Remote. We have included all the files
necessary to enable Reason to find MAX49 and map its controls to whatever module you have selected in the sequencer.

• 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.

FXpansion GURU
FXpansion's GURU software is a very flexible and creative beat-making tool. GURU comes preset with default MIDI note and controller
note mappings that serve several purposes. Notes can be set to trigger sounds, map a sound chromatically and play it from a keyboard,
trigger different Patterns, and trigger different Scenes.
8 MIDI controllers are set up for use with the individual voice engines called "Pad Groups," and 8 more are set up for use with any of
the FX Group. Please see the GURU manual for information on assigning these functions to the different parameters.
MAX49's GURU preset lets you take advantage of the software's most-used functions. This preset is meant to be used with GURU's
Generic Controller map in the Options menu.
FX Guru
KEYBOARD: The keyboard is set to trigger pads from middle C up 16 notes. The default is set to control Engine 1 on MIDI Channel 1.
By editing the keyboard MIDI channel, you can select which voice engine you are controlling. We set middle C to be the pads so that if
you have Pattern keys play selected pad chromatically in the Options/MIDI page, you will hear the currently selected pad played
chromatically on the bottom two octaves of MAX49's keyboard. If you press the OCTAVE UP button twice, the drum pads will play on
the lowest 16 notes of the keyboard and the notes from middle C up will trigger different Scenes.
TRANSPORT CONTROLS: GURU makes use of MMC for its transport controls. If you have the latest version of GURU it will
automatically make use of MMC messages. GURU assigns the button to the Commit function and the button to the Undo
function.
MIDI Controllers: We created 4 different options for continuous controller mapping with GURU. Since the MIDI controllers are colorcoded in the software, we will call them as follows:
Red = 1
Orange = 2
Yellow = 3
Green = 4
Lt Blue = 5
Blue = 6
Purple = 7
Grey = 8
PADS: We intentionally mapped the pads to be chromatic. The pads can be customized for so many uses in GURU that we didn't want
to make them too specialized. Currently, the 12 pads in Bank A and Pads 1-4 in Bank B will normally play the GURU pads. We left
these set to the Common MIDI channel so that you could quickly change them to different voice engines by changing the Common
Channel in Global Mode (see the GLOBAL MODE section of the included MAX49 Quickstart Guide).
Depending on how you are using GURU, if you want to change the pad note and channel mappings, keep this in mind:
• Recording Patterns: You may want to leave the way they are, allowing you to play your drum sounds and to shift engines via
• Playing Live: You may want to assign the pads to different MIDI channels and notes so as to trigger Scenes or Patterns in a

Pro Tools
You can use MAX49 with Pro Tools or any other DAW that uses the HUI protocol. Using this protocol, MAX49 will act as a
control surface for the DAW. To do this:
1. On MAX49, press [SHIFT] + [HUI].
2. Connect MAX49 to your computer with the included USB cable. Open Pro Tools.
3. In Pro Tools, go to Setup f Peripherals, and select the MIDI Controllers tab.
4. Select HUI as the #1 Type.
5. Select AkaiMAX49 Mackie as the #1 Receive From and #1 Send To.
6. Optional: To enable MAX49's KEYBOARD to play MIDI notes while using its other controls as a Pro Tools control
surface, select M-Audio Keyboard as the #2 Type, and select AkaiMAX49 Port A as the #2 Receive From and #2
Send To.
Chromatic
MAX49's Chromatic Program is a general preset where the 12 PADS' note messages are based on the chromatic scale.
All PADS will send Note On messages, ascending chromatically from C2 (Pad 1, Pad Bank A) to B5 (Pad 12, Pad Bank
D).
The PADS are set to MIDI Channel 2, the Sequencer is set to MIDI Channel 3, and the KEYBOARD is set to the Common
Channel.
