Hello and welcome to this installation and activation video for the AAI Professional MPK series and Native Instruments Complete Select. This video will walk you through the necessary steps to register and authorize your AAI Professional MPK controller and assist you in selecting, redeeming, and downloading your Native Instrument Complete Select version.
The following steps will be taken during the video:
Registering your AAI Professional NPK controller.
Redeeming and selecting your Native Instruments Complete Select Edition.
Registering and signing in to your Native ID at Native Access.
Downloading Complete Control and Kontakt Player.
First, register your AAI Professional MPK controller at the inMusic Software Center or sign in if you already have an existing account. Download the inMusic Software Center. Launch your inMusic Software Center application and be sure you're signed in using the email you registered with. At this point, whether you purchased your brand new AAI Pro MPK Controller or will be adding an existing one, select "Add Product." Click on "Hardware," enter your serial code you received with your AAI MPK controller. You'll see a green check and a prompt stating that your MPK series product is registered successfully. Click the "Add" button. Be sure to plug in and connect via USB your MPK Mini Series hardware to your computer. Once your hardware is plugged in, click "Next."
At this point, you may see a prompt asking you to update your firmware. Click this box for more information on updating your MPK firmware. Click "Next." Click "Next" again and you will see the product banner for Complete 15 Select. This page also prompts you to check the "Offers" tab to redeem the Native Instruments Complete Select. Select "Done."
On the left side of the inMusic Software Center product page, select "Offers." Under the "Offers" page, you'll see the selection for MPK Free Native Instruments Complete 15 Select license. Select the "Get Code" tab. Copy that voucher code by selecting the copy icon just to the right of your code. Click on "Redeem." This will take you to the Native Instruments Complete Select bundle page, letting you choose the specific bundle of your choice. Scroll down and select your preferred bundle by clicking the appropriate "Choose" button. For this video, I'll choose "Beats."
Under the "Add a Voucher" prompt, let's paste the code I copied earlier from the last step in the inMusic Software Center. Select the "Redeem" button. Now we see the coupon code has been added successfully. Go through the checkout process and your complimentary bundle is purchased.
Now it's time to launch Native Access. Native Access is Native Instruments' portal for downloading, installing, updating, and registering your products. If you don't have Native Access yet, you can click here or you can download it at native-instruments.com/native-access. Once finished, select and launch Native Access. Log in with the same details you've used on the Native Instruments website.
Once opening Native Access, you will see you have all the software titles included in the Complete Select bundle you chose earlier. It's here you can install each plugin specific content to your computer. You can also see all of your plugins in a list view by selecting the "Library" tab. This also allows you to sort plugins by type, style, and more.
Let's stay in the Native Access Library window to highlight and install Complete Control. You can find the install button along the right side. Once installed, you can select "Open" by either clicking the "Open" tab on the right or highlighting the Complete Control icon on the left and clicking "Open." This is an important step because you'll want to set up and utilize your MPK hardware controller with Complete Control for the full experience of controlling your software instruments and effects.
Next, you'll want to do the same process by installing Kontakt a Player. This is an important host application used to run many of your instruments from Complete. Always be sure your version of Complete Control and Kontakt Player are always up to date. Additionally, it's also important to note that you can launch and run Complete Control inside your favorite DAW.
When selecting your AAI MPK controller, you'll find that on the right side of Complete Control, a detailed list of each controller's mapping functionality is listed. Knobs and buttons. This allows you to see what the NKS mapping control functionality is. Complete Control helps you access, organize, and launch all of your Complete instruments and effects from one location. It is also the program to help you realize the fullest potential with your AAI Professional MPK controller.
