USING THE MPK25 WITH ARTURIA SYNTHS
Each Arturia synth has its own MIDI Map file that will automatically assign the functions within that
synth. This file is named controlMIDI. We have made a template file for most of the popular
Arturia synths that all work in conjunction with the Arturia Preset on the MPK25.
Each synth’s controlMIDI file needs to be copied to the following folder so that the mapping will work. Be aware that
writing over the existing controlMIDI file will change any custom MIDI learn mappings you have made.
