5. Tap Tempo: Tap this button at the desired rate to enter a new tempo.

Note: If you reload the current Preset, the tempo will revert to that Preset's tempo, which

you set in Edit Mode.

Important: This feature does not work when the MPK225 is set to External sync.

6. Arp On/Off: Press this button to enable or disable the internal Arpeggiator whose rate is

based on the current Tempo and Time Division settings. The Arpeggiator will function on

notes being played on the keyboard only.

Note: You can also sync the Arpeggiator to an internal or external MIDI Clock source.

7. Latch: Press this button to activate or deactivate the Arpeggiator's Latch feature. When

the Arpeggiator is on and Latch is enabled, you can press a combination of keys on the

keyboard and the Arpeggiator continue to arpeggiate these notes even after you release

the keys. Pressing a new combination of keys will start a new arpeggiation.

Tip: While holding down a combination of keys on the keyboard, add more notes to that

arpeggiated chord by pressing additional keys.

display. Use the Up Cursor and Down Cursor to move through the parameters currently

shown in the display. (On some pages, the display's last row contains multiple

parameters. Use the Up Cursor and Down Cursor to move between these, as well.) Use

the Left Cursor and Right Cursor to move to the previous or next page.

11. Assignable Knobs: Use these 360º knobs to send continuous controller messages to

your software or external MIDI device.

12. Assignable Switches: Use these switches to send MIDI CC messages or Program

Change messages to your software or external MIDI device. They can function as

momentary or toggle (latching) switches. If Time Division is activated, these switches

select the time division of the Arpeggiator and Note Repeat features.
