Akai MPD16 issues with XP..

THE MPD16 will not work with Usb on XP (its only good to power the unit) your gonna have to use the midi ports ...the easy way is to get a midi to usb interface,then XP will run the drivers from the interface and it wont matter what you hook up to it !
not true man, my mpd is running through usb with xp and it works beautifully. i didnt even install any drivers, which was kinda weird, as soon as i plugged it in the computer recognized new hardware and it worked right out the box,
 
ight this how u fix the problem. plug-in the mpd let it open up to the Found New Hardware menu. click the Adv. button where it allows u to search for the file. click on the .sys file and then it will run through. that simiple!
 
under the link to download the driver on akaiproDOTcom is a link to download: MPD16- pc/windows software installer (392 KB zip file) <-- thats your install program you need this and the driver.
