Control surface not working even though it's assigned to an action
Hi,
I'm trying to toggle track muting using an Akai LPD8. I can assign it to the relevant action and the 'last action' notification says that it's worked but nothing's actually happening.
I've had no problems using the pads on an Alesis V61.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple - any ideas what it is?
This 'ere video shows the problem.
Linux (Zorin), native Reaper.

I've just tried something I should have tried before - using the pad to send a CC rather than a note - but to no avail.
Reaper still recognises the pad and lets me use it to assign a CC (Ch14, CC102) to an action (Toggle mute on Track 9) but it doesn't actually toggle the mute, despite the last action showing as 'Adjust track mute (via surface)'.

I'm not familiar with your device but I have an akai mpk mini mk2 and there is an editor for it that I had to download from their site. Inside the editor I had to change the pad to CC to do something similar to yours. Before I did that it was binding the pad to a note and when you press the note on the keys it was also triggering it.
I don't know maybe if you tried this already, but all I can think was this solution.
