Important: Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when pressure is applied to a key or pad
after it has been played and while it is being held down. Aftertouch is often used to control
volume, vibrato and other parameters.
MIDI Channel: This setting determines over which MIDI channel the messages are sent. The
available settings are Common, USB A1–A16, and USB B1–B16.
CC Number: If MIDI CC is the selected Type, this determines the MIDI CC number. The
available range is 000–127.

(Off). MIDI data will be sent to MPK261's USB connection regardless of this setting.
