Global Mode

Global Mode lets you set parameters and make changes to MPK249's general ("global")

functioning. These settings are not specific to a Preset; they affect all Presets.

To navigate Global Mode:

1. Press Global to enter Global Mode.

2. In each page of Global Mode:

• Use the Up Cursor and Down Cursor buttons to move through the parameters on the

current page.

• Use the Left Cursor and Right Cursor buttons to move between different pages.

• Turn the Value Dial to change the currently selected value/setting.

3. To save the new Global Mode settings, use the Left Cursor and Right Cursor buttons to

select the Save Globals page, and press the Value Dial to confirm the operation.

To cancel the operation instead, use the Left Cursor or Right Cursor buttons to select another

page, or press Global.

To restore the factory default Global Mode settings:

1. Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.

2. Press the Left Cursor button so Factory Defaults appears in the display.

3. Turn the Value Dial and select Globals.

4. To restore MPK249's factory default Global Mode settings (which overwrites those you have

saved), press the Value Dial.

To cancel the operation, press Preset.

For an overview of the available settings and parameters, see the Appendix: Mode Parameters

section.

Program Change Mode

A Program Change, often referred to as a Patch Change, is a MIDI message from one

device to another that causes the latter to switch to a new program. Using Program

Change messages, MPK249 can tell another hardware or software device which sound

to play.

For example, if your MPK249 is controlling a piano patch in your software or an external MIDI device,

sending a Program Change message from MPK249 causes it to switch to a synth patch.

The MPK249 lets you send two types of Program Change messages:

• Program Change: This is a standard Program Change message (0-127) sent to your software

or external device, letting you switch between 128 different program banks.

• Program Change with Bank Change: This is a standard Program Change message (0-127)

plus a Bank Select LSB (Least Significant Bit) (0-127) and a Bank Select MSB (Most Significant

Bit) message (0-127). This gives you access to up to 16384 different program banks. Your

software or external device must support LSB and MSB messages to use this feature.

To navigate Program Change Mode:

1. Press Program Change to enter Program Change Mode.

2. In each page of Program Change Mode:

• Use the Up Cursor and Down Cursor buttons to move through the parameters on the

current page.

• Use the Left Cursor and Right Cursor buttons to move between different pages.

• Turn the Value Dial to change the currently selected value/setting.

Important: These changes cannot be saved to your Presets or global settings. Once you power

off the MPK249 they will return to the default settings.

For an overview of the available settings and parameters, see the Appendix: Mode Parameters

section.
