ABOUT MODES
The MPK49 has four different modes of operation. Each mode can be accessed by pressing the
corresponding button on the MPK49. 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 sliders, 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
MPK49 every time.
Edit Mode
This mode allows you to edit the configuration of the MPK49. Edit Mode is a
powerful tool for customizing your set-up. In this mode, you can make
changes to how the keyboard, pads, knobs, sliders and other features are
behaving. For example, you may wish to have a slider or 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. See the PRESET parameter table on pg
XX for a full listing of parameters.
Global Mode
This mode allows you to set global parameters and make general changes to
how your MPK49 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, MIDI Common Channel, Pad Velocity Curve, Pad
Threshold, Keyboard Transposition, and more. See Global Mode on Page 13
for a full list of the menus.
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.
