I use the Akai MPK 261 MIDI controller every day. In this video tutorial, I show you how to set it up the way I did. It basically involves mapping one bank to performance controls. Then, I mapped the other bank to track quick controls in Cubase and VST quick controls in Cubase. Then, I leave another bank completely open. Programming a MIDI controller as a generic remote for your DAW can be intimidating. I hope this video makes it a little easier. Check out the links below if you want to help out the channel. Thanks!
