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, knobs and other features 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.

See the PRESET parameter table for a full listing of parameters.

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, MIDI Common Channel, Pad Velocity Curve, Pad

Threshold, Keyboard Transposition, and more. See Global Mode on Page 12

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.
