# The Ultimate Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI Remote Script for Ableton Live
Tested only on Live 11 but should be compatible with Live 7, 8, 9 and 10.
## Control Ableton via the MPK Mini MK3
Experience enhanced control over Ableton Live with ***MMMKIII***, a powerful ***MIDI Remote Script*** designed to provide convenient access to common track settings and device parameters while effortlessly navigating through device view, session view, and arrangement view.
***MMMKIII*** is a ***MIDI Remote Script*** for Ableton Live that gives access to common settings of the currently selected track via **CC messages** (arm, mute, solo, volume, pan…) as well as the currently selected device (on/off, parameters, banks, lock…).
Among the mapped functionality is:
* **Arm**, **solo** and **mute** the selected track
* Control **volume, pan** and **send 1-4** of the selected track
* **Toggle loop, record, play and stop**
* **Navigate device view**
* **Navigate session-view**
* **Navigate arrangement-view**
* **Fire scenes and clips**
* …
In order to ensure functionality, I created four programs that need to be loaded into the controller through the MPK Mini MK3 Program Editor.
The *BANK B* of the first two programs mirrors the device program, enabling quick switching between device mappings using the BANK A/B button.

## Installation
Download the latest release zip [from here](https://github.com/SlyBouhafs/MMMKIII/releases/latest) and unzip it or clone the repository.
1. Make sure that Live isn't running.
2. In the `assets/presets/` folder, there are 4 programs, use the MPK Mini MK3 Program Editor to load each one.
3. Add **MMMKIII** to Ableton Live's MIDI Remote Scripts folder.
[See Ableton’s help page regarding installing third-party remote scripts.](https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209072009-Installing-third-party-remote-scripts)
4. Start Live.
5. Enable **MMMKIII** as a Control Surface in Live
In Live’s Preferences go to the **MIDI Sync** tab and select **MMMKIII** in the dropdown list of available Control Surfaces. For the MIDI Input and Output, select your controller’s MIDI-port.
NB: If you want to make this work for the mk2, have a look at this [issue](https://github.com/SlyBouhafs/MMMKIII/issues/5)
