NOTE PARAMETERS
The following list of parameters can be accessed if the pad event type is set to Note.
MIDI CHANNEL FIELD
This field sets the MIDI Port and Channel which the pad will use to transmit
messages. You can assign pads to one of two MIDI Ports, A or B, and to one of
16 MIDI Channels on each port (i.e. B11). You may also assign the pad to the
MIDI Common Channel.
1. Use the [<] button to select MIDI Port/Channel field.
2. While in MIDI Port/Channel field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired MIDI
Port and Channel.
3. Use the [>] button to select the next field.
Note: When not used via USB, only pads assigned to port A will transmit MIDI
information via the 5-pin MIDI port on the back of the MPK61/MPK88.
NOTE FIELD
This field sets the MIDI Note Number that the pad will transmit when it is hit.
1. Use [<] or [>] buttons to select Note field.
2. While in MIDI Port/Channel field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired MIDI
Port and Channel.
3. Use the [>] button to select the next field.
Note: Software modules or drum machines are often programmed to trigger
sounds based on specific Note Numbers associated with each sample. You
may have to experiment setting different Note Numbers on the MPK61/MPK88
to find the range that is suited for your application.
PLAY MODE FIELD
Here, you can select whether the pad transmits Note On/Off information in a
standard momentary (MTY) way like a keyboard, where hitting the pad
generates a Note On and releasing it a Note Off message, or in a toggle (TGL)
way where the first hit of the pad outputs a Note On, the second hit transmits a
Note Off.
1. Use [<] or [>] buttons to select Play Mode field.
2. While in Play Mode field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired Play Mode.
3. Use the [>] button to select the next field.
PRESSURE BEHAVIOR
In this field, you can choose how the MPK61/MPK88 transmits information
when pressure is applied to the pads after they’ve been struck. If you select
PPR (Polyphonic Pressure), each pad will transmit Aftertouch information
individually. If you select CPR (Channel Pressure), all pads assigned to a
particular MIDI Channel will transmit Aftertouch information as a group (in other
words, applying pressure to any pad assigned to the same MIDI Channel, even
if it is not the pad which was originally struck, will send Aftertouch information).
When selecting
1. Use the [>] button to select Pressure field.
2. While in Pressure field, use [VALUE] dial to select “OFF”, “CPR”, or “PPR”.
Note: Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when pressure is applied to a
pad after it has been struck, and while it is being held down. Aftertouch is often
used to control volume, vibrato and other parameters.
