LCD CONTRAST – Page 3
The contrast of the LCD can be adjusted for optimal viewing.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to LCD CONT
(page 3).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select a contrast level.
3. Press [ENTER] to set contrast level.
PAD SENSITIVITY – Page 4
PAD SENSITIVITY allows you to adjust how sensitive the pads will be
to the touch. Adjust this setting if you find it hard to achieve maximum
velocity when you hit the pads hard, or if you are getting high velocities
when you hit softly.
If the Pad Sensitivity number is set to low number, it’s harder to get a
high velocity value even if you hit a pad hard. If the Pad sensitivity
number is set to high number, it may become too easy to get high
velocities even when you hit a pad softly.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadSens (page
4).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity.
3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Sensitivity.
PAD VELOCITY CURVE – Page 5
A PAD VELOCITY CURVE describes how the pads on the MPK25 are
outputting MIDI velocities, based on a certain ratio of the input / output
velocity that characterizes the particular curve. The Pad Velocity Curve
feature is intended to help you optimize the pads on the MPK25 to your
particular playing style and can add expressivity and control to your
performance. If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable velocity
range for your playing style (you cannot get a velocity of 127 even if
you hit the pad very hard, or vice versa, you get velocity 127 easily
even if you hit the pad softly) you can adjust the velocity curve as
desired.
1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PadCurve (page
5).
2. Turn [VALUE] dial to change Pad Sensitivity.
3. Press [ENTER] to set Pad Sensitivity.
