Thanks, but that didn't work. Even though the MPK Mini "mk2" is over 3 years old you may be right that only the mk1 is supported as a control surface. Which would be a bit strange though ... and stranger still that there is nothing out there in Internet-land about that, at least that I could find Are there any mk2 owners on this board?

No, it's not listed under Midi Controllers - my other MIDI keyboards (that were detected) are.

Further to this, in the Apple MIDI Setup utility I can see the MPK Mini listed as "MPKMini2" and it says it is online. I have tried adding it manually (Control Surfaces > Setup > New > Install...) where there is an "Akai Professional, LP", "MPK Mini" listed. However, selecting it and pressing the 'Add' button does nothing. Clutching at straws here, but is the issue that the MPK identifies itself as "MPKMini2" and Logic expects it to be "MPK Mini"? Has anyone got the MPK Mini to work as a control surface?

Hi, I am running Logic Pro X 10.3.1 on a macbook pro 10.12.5 and have a new Akai MPK Mini which is not being recognised by Logic Pro when I first plug it in. My other midi controllers are being recognised fine and according to this website so should the MPK Mini https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT205896. The MPK works fine in the sense that it transmits MIDI and works fine in Learn mode etc. I've reset Notifications and tried it on another mac all with the same result, i.e. it is not recognised for auto-assignment. I can't work out what I am doing wrong so any help would be much appreciated.
