DISPLAYING INFORMATION
As you are working with the MPD24, the LCD screen will help you keep track of
what values and parameters are entered and sent to external devices. There are
several kinds of information that the MPD24 will display while in use: NOTE,
AFTERTOUCH (Channel Pressure), CONTROL CHANGE, MIDI MACHINE
CONTROL (MMC), and PREVIEW MODE information.
NOTE
When a PAD is hit, the MPD24 will output MIDI
Note On messages to trigger sounds on your DAW
or external device. Each pad can have its own
MIDI Note Number associated with it. When you
hit a pad, the screen will display the MIDI Note
Number, the MIDI Port and Channel that the pad is
using, the pad bank, and the velocity (how hard
you hit the pad).
Please see ‘Editing Pads’( page 14) for more
information on MIDI Notes and Pads.

When enabled, AFTERTOUCH is MIDI data sent
when pressure is applied to one of the pads after it

you apply pressure to the pad.

CONTROL CHANGE
When a KNOB or SLIDER is used, the MPD24
will output MIDI Control Change data. This data
is used to change certain parameters on your DAW
or external sound module. When you move a knob
or slider, the screen will indicate the Control
Change (CC) Number, value, and MIDI Channel.
Please see ‘Editing Knobs and Sliders’
(page18) for more information on Control Change.
