ABOUT MODES
The MPK25 has four different modes of operation. Each mode can be accessed by pressing the
corresponding button on the MPK25. Following is a short description of each mode:
Preset Mode
This mode allows you to load, save and copy Presets. A Preset is a
collection of information about how different knobs and pads will behave.
Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you can quickly
load them when you need them, without having to reprogram the MPK25
every time.

Edit Mode
This mode allows you to edit the configuration of the MPK25. Edit Mode is a
powerful tool for customizing your set-up. In this mode, you can make
changes to how the keyboard, pads and knobs are behaving. For example,
you may wish to have a knob transmit only a limited range of MIDI data, or
you may wish to have a pad that transmits on a different MIDI Channel. You
can change these and other various parameters in Edit Mode.

Global Mode
This mode allows you to set global parameters and make general changes to
how your MPK25 is functioning. For example, in Global Mode you can
change how the pads respond to the touch, or change the brightness of the
LCD screen. The parameters that you can modify in Global Mode also
include controller resets, pad response curves, display brightness, and more.

Program Change Mode
This mode allows you to transmit various Program Change messages. In
this mode, you can tell your DAW or an external device to switch to a
different program bank of sounds. This way, you can avoid having to
manually switch between different programs on your DAW or external device.
