Akai MPK Mini as input controller

[HappyCatFilms]

Been spending time my first day with the Uno trying to get it to connect with the Akai MPK Mini as a keyboard input, sending MIDI over USB. No joy so far.

Any tips would be appreciated.

You would not be able to connect the MPK Mini directly to UNO Synth. Uno Synth does have MIDI connections that are standard 5-pin MIDI DIN connectors. I don't believe the MPK would have 5-pin MIDI connections available so you would likely need to use a MIDI interface between the two, and/or via your computer or similar setup.

then, if I use a usb to midi like kenton or oplab to convert the sending signal?

I don't know enough about those but the USB if they convert the USB MIDI connection from your controller into a 5-pin MIDI DIN connection that should work.
