Plugging in the MPD218

The MPD218 is a class-compliant MIDI device. A class-compliant device is one that doesn't require extra drivers to connect your Windows or Macintosh computer. Class compliant devices use drivers which are built into the host (i.e. the computer) operating system.

Begin by connecting the MPD218 to a free USB port on your computer. We recommend going into the back of your computer, as this is closest to the power supply. This will provide the most power necessary to the controller for optimum performance.
After connecting the controller to your computer, Windows will install the driver necessary for the MPD218 to communicate with your computer.

Registering the MPD218

Launch your web browser, and go to akaipro.com.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and underneath My Account, select login or create to login to or create your account.
After your account has been accessed, you will be presented with a page that says My Products and My Product Registrations. Your registered products and related software downloads will be listed below.
We will want to select Register a product now to register.
Next, you will be presented with a screen to enter your information and register your controller.
Select the MPD218 from the dropdown menu
Make sure you enter the serial number exactly as it appears on the bottom of your controller. Important: Neglecting the '(21)' and failing to capitalize the 'A' will result in a rejected serial number.

After the installation is completed, you will be prompted to unlock your software. Select Unlock Now to continue.
To unlock the software, make sure you're entering the serial number for MPC Essentials found within your Akai Professional account. This will be a 15-digit code containing a mixture of capital letters and numbers, preceded with a '(21)'.
You will want to make sure you're entering this number exactly as it appears in your account. To make the process easier, we recommend copy/pasting the code from your account into the software. Fill in the rest of the information and select Unlock Now.
After this, you will see a box saying you've successfully unlocked your MPC!
