CONTROL CHANGE 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 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. 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 knobs and faders assigned to port A will be
transmitted via the 5-pin MIDI port on the back of the MPK61/MPK88.
CONTROL CHANGE FIELD
In this field you can set which Control Change Number the pad will transmit
when it is pressed.
1. Use [<] or [>] buttons to select Control Change field.
2. While in Control Change field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired Control
Change Number.
3. Use the [>] button to select the next field.
Note: To be able to control a parameter in your DAW or sound module with a
knob or fader, both the parameter and the knob need to 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 [>] buttons to select Minimum Range field.
2. While in Minimum Range field, use [VALUE] dial to select desired minimum
value.
3. Use the [>] 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
actually 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 that only gives you a tenth of the full fader
range. Instead, try setting the maximum value of the 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, it may be more
intuitive to invert your faders if you are controlling an interface or plug-in that
operates with a drawbar structure, such as organ instruments.
