Hi, and welcome . . . .

Reaper is a bit daunting at first, but your decision to go with it is a good one.

Try this link for setting up: https://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMus...d_an_akai_mpk/

That ought to get the Akai recognised in Reaper.

Reaper takes some learning to start with. I DO recommend Kenny Gioia's videos here: https://www.groove3.com/reaper-train...er-4-explained

[These vids are All for Reaper4, but the core details are good for reaper5, certainly fine for learning how Reaper works] I'm sure dedicated Reaper5 vids WILL appear as time goes along . . . .

I have ALL of Kenny's vids - and they are great value, both in the clear way they are presented and the amount of detail.

The "Reaper 4 explained" is more that 7.5 Hrs long and is a great overview.

There is a $15 /month access scheme, but I opted to buy for $40

EACH of the vids has a "sample chapter" that can be viewed for free to give you an idea . . .

Don't forget the Manual itself. Its a big read, but contains lots of detail.

Also available (free to view) are these vids: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=76872

And these, from Paul C : http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=154715

Hope that is of some help

Best Regards

parametric
