To edit a control:

1. Select it by doing one of the following:

• clicking it in the software

• pressing or moving it on your hardware

2. In the Edit panel on the left side of the software window, set that controls' parameters to your

preference. The available parameters depend on whether it is a pad or button (and the type of

button).

Note: Unlike MPC Renaissance or MPC Studio, MPC Element does not have any Q-Link Knobs or

touch-capacitive controls, even though these options may be available in the Edit panel.

• Control (all controls): This determines what message the pad or button sends to the software

(e.g., acting as a specific pad, entering a specific mode, revealing or hiding the File Browser,

Undo, Tap Tempo, etc.).

• Light LED (all controls): This determines how the pad's or button's LED on the hardware will

behave.

o When set to Never, the LED will always be off.

o When set to MIDI Input, the LED will light up when the software receives a MIDI

message that matches that control.

o When set to Local, the LED will light up when you press the pad or button and/or

MIDI input is received.

• MIDI Channel (all controls): This deteremines over which MIDI channel (from 1 to 16) the pad

or button will send MIDI messages to the software.

• CC Number (buttons only): This determines what Control Change the button will send to the

software.

• Type (buttons only): This determines whether the button will behave as a Momentary switch or

Toggle (latching) switch.

• Note (pads only): This is the MIDI note number the pad will send to the software when you hit it

(0 – 127 or C-2 to G8).

• Bank (pads only): This is the pad bank the pad belongs to. If you check the Set All box, the

pad's messages and parameters will be identical across all eight banks.

• Velocity (pads only): This determines whether the pad will be velocity-sensitive (On) or not

(Off). When set to Off, hitting the pad will send a note at full-level (127) always.
