I've got the MPD16 working with the VCI-100... but a few of the pads are incorrectly mapped with the included MIDI ini in 7.10.

Thank you for your input. What pads are not working? Can you edit an updated MIDI files so we can add it into the download section?

I'll upload tonight, I got it working.

For some reason, two of the pads send the same control code (maybe it's just mine?). I had to enable the "BANK" button then remap all 16 to the individual pads.

One thing I couldn't figure out was how to enable the active pad for each button I pushed. If I enabled the active, every pad would just activate it (kind of hard to explain). I'm trying to use this so I can use the fader as a volume control.

hey fellaz and is there an option that you save your sounds in the sampler or do you have to put them on every time you start mixvibes ?
