CONTROL CHANGE PARAMETERS
The following list of parameters can be accessed if the event type for the knob or fader is set to Control
Change.
MIDI CHANNEL FIELD
This field sets the MIDI Port and Channel which the knob or fader will use to
transmit messages. You can assign knobs and faders to one of two MIDI Ports,
A or B, and to one of 16 MIDI Channels on each port (i.e. A14). You can also
assign a knob or fader to use the MIDI Common Channel.
1. Press [<] to select MIDI Port/Channel field.
2. While in MIDI Port/Channel field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired MIDI
Port and Channel.
3. Press [>] to select the next field.
Note: When not used via USB, only knobs and faders assigned to port A
will be transmitted via the 5-pin MIDI port on the back of the MPD26.
CONTROL CHANGE FIELD
In this field you can set which MIDI CC # the knob or fader will transmit when it
is used.
1. Use [<] or [>] to select Control Change field.
2. While in Control Change field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired Control
Change Number.
3. Press [>] button to select the next field.
Note: To control a parameter in your DAW or sound module with a knob or
fader, both the parameter and the physical controller should be set to the same
Controller Number.
MINIMUM RANGE FIELD
This field is used to specify the minimum value that the knob or fader can
output.
1. Use [<] or [>] to select Minimum Range field.
2. While in Minimum Range field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired minimum
value.
3. Press [>] button to select the next field.
Tip: Sometimes you might not want the full 0-127 range of control that a fader
automatically defaults to. Often, reducing the value range of the fader might
give you more precise control over the parameter it is controlling. For example,
if you are using one of the faders to control a synced delay line, there might only
be about 10 available values for the sync delay time (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 note, etc.).
Therefore, it wouldn’t make much sense to have the fader transmit the full 128
MIDI control values, since this only gives you a tenth of the full fader range.
Instead, try setting the maximum value of that fader to 10.
MAXIMUM RANGE FIELD
This field is used to specify the maximum value that the knob or fader can
output.
1. Use the [<] or [>] buttons to select Maximum Range field.
2. While in Maximum Range field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired maximum
value.
Tip: Setting the maximum value of a controller lower than the minimum value
will cause the knob or fader to behave inversely. For example, if you are
controlling an interface or plug-in that operates with a drawbar structure, such
as organ instruments, it might be more intuitive to invert your faders.
When finished editing, press [ENTER] to save or [<] to cancel the changes.
