Hi.
A couple of days ago I bought an Akai MPK mini mk2. When trying to run
the config editor tool through wine, the MPK mini doesn't show up in
the list of available devices when picking what midi port to
communicate with.
It does however show other midi devices and midi through connections.
Has anyone else had the same or a similar issue?
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with the KXStudio addons.
Cheers!

I have a mini mk1.

communicate with.
This will be a wine USB passthrough question / issue. Not sure if its
possible to achieve.
I had a windows machine around when I got the mk1 initially, and haven't
edited the CC's etc since.
Has anyone else had the same or a similar issue?
Yep, had a similar issue, didn't search for or find a fix though... so
probably can't help much!
Good luck, -Harry

Hmm, I guess I'll have to reboot into Windows. :-( But still, it's the
end result of using the controller that's important...

I actually had a similar "problem" with the Novation Launch Control XL.
It looks like nor Wine or VirtualBox are able to see the device, but, since
they come from different manufacturers, you might have more luck using
virtualization. For example, I didn't have this problem with the M-Audio
Oxygen 2 (first version): the editor was able to see it and interface with
it, unfortunally it's no a very good editor.
From what I could understand, the problem comes when
ALSA MIDI takes
control of the interface, even when its control is
"released" to the guest
machine, the kernel doesn't really release it completely. Anyway, I'm not a
developer, so I should investigate on this more to be sure about my
assumption; probably I'm just wrong.
Anyway, give it a shot with virtualization, if it still doesn't work you
might want to boot to windows and set a "general" configuration, then use
mididings as a "proxy" to control how the mapping is translated to the midi
devices you want to connect your MPK to. Since I don't have a real windows
pc, I ended up with creating a custom program that interfaces with my
Launch Control and, actually, allows much more customization.
Cheers!

Connecting it with applications in Linux is not a problem. It was only
the editor in wine.
Anyway, spent some time yesterday with trying to get the mappings as I
wanted. As you mentioned, it's not a very good editor. But now the MPK
mini works as I want it. :-)
