EDITING THE KEYBOARD

When editing the keyboard, please note that the changes will affect all the keys on the MPK25. The keyboard

properties you can edit include MIDI Channel, Octave, Aftertouch, and Velocity.

MIDI CHANNEL – This is the MIDI Channel on which the keyboard will be transmitting information.

OCTAVE – This is the default octave shift that will be applied to the keyboard when the current Preset is loaded.

AFTERTOUCH – Aftertouch describes pressure applied to the keys after they have been pressed. Aftertouch can

often be used to control the vibrato, sustain or decay of a sound. The Aftertouch setting on the MPK25 can be set to

either “On” or “Off”. When set to “Off”, the MPK25 will ignore Aftertouch.

VELOCITY – Velocity describes how hard the keys are struck. Most often, velocity is directly mapped to the

perceived loudness of a sound; so the harder you play the keys, the louder the sound will be. The Velocity setting on

the MPK25 can be set to either “On” or “Off”. When set to “On”, the keyboard will detect how hard the keys are

pressed and translate these values into corresponding MIDI velocities. When set to “Off”, MPK25 will output a

constant MIDI velocity, no matter how hard the keys are pressed.
