EDITING TRANSPORT CONTROL
The MPD32 can be configured to send transport control information in a variety of ways: MMC (MIDI
Machine Control), MMC/MIDI, MIDI, or CTRL. Some applications and devices have dedicated MMC
functions and will only respond to MMC messages, while others may not have reserved MMC functions but
implement transport control via MIDI SysEx or MIDI CC messages. To account for these scenarios, we have
provided a way to edit the messages sent by the transport control buttons. This allows you to customize the
MPD32’s transport to work with your application or external device.
1. To edit transport control settings, press [EDIT] to enter Edit Mode.
2. Now select the transport control for editing by pressing [ << ], [ >> ],
[STOP], [PLAY], or [REC].
3. You will see Page 1 displayed on the screen (shown on the left).
4. Press [ENTER] to edit transport control settings.
5. When on Page 2, use the [VALUE] dial to select the format of the
transport control messages (MMC, MMC/MIDI, MIDI, CTRL).
6. Press [ENTER] to accept the change or [<] to cancel.
EDITING TAP TEMPO
Each Preset on the MPD32 can have a default tempo associated with it. Every time that the Preset is loaded, the
BPM setting will be loaded automatically.
1. To edit the default tempo, press [EDIT] to enter Edit Mode.
2. Now select tempo for editing by pressing [TAP TEMPO].
3. You will see Page 1 displayed on the screen (shown on the left).
4. Press [ENTER] to edit the default tempo for the current Preset.
5. On Page 2, use the [VALUE] dial to adjust the default tempo.
