I talked too soon
It works in Windows.The description can be downloaded here:
http://gilfuser.net/akai-mpkmini2.desc.scdBut it doesn't work in Linux. If the device is disconnected from the computer it works as a virtual device though.
The error I get in Linux is:
ERROR: Message 'connect' not understood.

^^ The preceding error dump is for ERROR: Message 'connect' not understood.

oi gil,
if you send me the APC mini 2 desc file, I can commit it to modality, so modality officially supports this device :-)
Also, it should usually not be necessary to edit the cache file text -
One can always update the cache file by doing:
MKtlDesc.writeCache;
I thought it does that automagically, but it seems not, so I will look into that.
