8. [PROGRAM CHANGE] – Pressing this button

will enter Program Change mode. In this mode,

you can send a Program Change or Program

with Bank Change message to a hardware or

software module.

9. TRANSPORT CONTROL BUTTONS – These

five buttons are dedicated buttons for sending

transport control commands. The transport

control buttons can be set to transmit either MMC

(MIDI Machine Control), MMC/MIDI SysEx, MIDI

START/STOP or pre-assigned MIDI CC values.

10. 8 ASSIGNABLE KNOBS –Each 360-degree

knob can be used to send continuous control

data to a desktop audio workstation or external

MIDI device.

11. 8 ASSIGNABLE SLIDERS – Each slider can be

used to send continuous control data to a

desktop audio workstation or external MIDI

device.

12. 8 ASSIGNABLE BUTTONS – These buttons can

be used as MIDI CC switches or Program

Change switches. They can function in

momentary or toggle modes. When [TIME

DIVISION] has been activated, these 8 buttons

are used to set the time division of the

Arpeggiator and Note Repeat features.

13. [CONTROL BANK] – The MPK49 features 3

independent banks of continuous controllers.

Effectively, this allows you to control up to 72

independent parameters with the knobs, sliders

and buttons on the MPK49. The [CONTROL

BANK] button is used to switch among the 3

banks. The LEDs above the button will reflect

the currently selected control bank.

14. 12 MPC PRESSURE AND VELOCITY

SENSITIVE PADS – The pads can be used to

trigger drum hits or samples on your software or

hardware module. The pads are pressure and

velocity sensitive, which makes them very

responsive and intuitive to play.

15. PAD BANK buttons – These 4 buttons switch

among pad banks A, B, C, D. Each bank can

address a unique set of 12 sounds, giving you

access of up to 48 different sounds you

can trigger with the pads. The currently

selected pad bank will be indicated on

the LCD display

16. [FULL LEVEL] – When [FULL LEVEL] is

activated, the pads always play back at a

maximum velocity (127), no matter how hard or

soft you hit them.

17. [12 LEVEL] – When [12 LEVEL] is activated, you

can use the 12 pads to change a selected

sound’s velocity in 12 steps. When you press the

[12 LEVEL] button, the last pad that was hit gets

mapped to all 12 pads. The pads will now output

the same note number and pressure controller as

the initial pad, but the velocity

is fixed at the values shown in

the diagram on the right,

regardless of how hard you hit

them. This allows you to have

more control over the velocity

of a sound.

18. [NOTE REPEAT] – Holding this button while

striking a pad causes the pad to retrigger at a

rate based on the current Tempo and Time

Division settings. The Note Repeat feature can

be synced to an internal or external MIDI Clock

source. [NOTE REPEAT] can function as a

latching or momentary button

19. [TIME DIVISION] – This button is used to specify

the rate of the Note Repeat and Arpeggiator

features. When [TIME DIVISION] is activated,

you can press one of the 8 switches to specify a

time division. [TIME DIVISION] can function as a

momentary or toggle button.

Please note that while [TIME DIVISION] is active,

the 8 assignable buttons will not function as MIDI

CC or Program Change switches until [TIME

DIVISION] has been de-activated.

20. [ARP ON/OFF] – This button enables and

disables the internal Arpeggiator. The

Arpeggiator will only function on notes being

played on the keyboard. The Arpeggiator feature

on the MPK49 works in conjunction with the

Tempo and Time Division settings, which specify

the rate of arpeggiation. Please note that the

Arpeggiator can be synced either to an internal

or external MIDI Clock source (such as a

software DAW or a MIDI device).

21. [LATCH] – This button works in conjunction with

the Arpeggiator. When the Arpeggiator is turned

on and [LATCH] has been enabled, you can hold

down a combination of keys -- the Arpeggiator

will memorize and continue to arpeggiate these

notes, even if you depress the keys. There are a

couple of ways to use the [LATCH] function:

a. While holding down the keys, you can add

more notes to the sequence by pressing

down additional keys.

b. If you depress the keys, release them, and

then press down a new combination of

notes, the Arpeggiator will memorize and

arpeggiate the new notes.

22. [OCTAVE + / -] – These buttons can be used to

shift the keyboard’s range up and down. The

display will indicate which octave you have

shifted to. If both buttons are pressed at the

same time, the octave shift will reset to 0.

23. [TAP TEMPO] – This button allows you to tap in

a new tempo. If the preset is reloaded, the

tempo will revert to the saved tempo value.

(Please note that a preset’s default tempo can be

set in Edit Mode). Tap Tempo does not work

when the MPK49 is set to External sync.

24. PITCH BEND WHEEL – Transmits MIDI Pitch

Bend information on a selected MIDI channel

and port.

25. MODULATION WHEEL – This wheel can be

used to transmit continuous controller data. By

default, the modulation wheel will transmit MIDI

CC #01.
