REAR PANEL OVERVIEW

1. DC POWER ADAPTER INPUT – Plug in a 6V-

DC power adapter if you do not wish to power

the MPK49 through the USB connection.

2. POWER ADAPTER RESTRAINT – You can

secure the power adapter cord to this restraint to

prevent accidental unplugging.

3. USB CONNECTION – Plug a standard USB

cable into this outlet and into the USB port of

your computer. The computer’s USB port will

provide power to the MPK49. This connection is

used to send and receive MIDI data to and from

your computer and may also be used to send

MIDI data from your computer to a device

attached to the MIDI OUT port of the MPK49.

4. MIDI OUT – Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect

the MIDI OUT of the MPK49 to the MIDI IN of an

external device.

5. MIDI IN – Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect

the MIDI OUT of an external MIDI device to the

MIDI IN of the MPK49.

6. SUSTAIN PEDAL – Connect a ¼” TS sustain

pedal to this input. We recommend using the

Alesis Sustain Pedal.

7. EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT – Connect a ¼”

TRS expression pedal to this input. We

recommend using the Alesis F2 expression

pedals.

1. LCD – The display is used for navigating menus,

displaying data, and affecting change on

MPK49’s options and parameters.

2. [VALUE] (Push to Enter) – This dial is used to

increment and decrement Presets, parameter

values and settings. This dial also functions as

an [ENTER] button when it is pressed down.

3. [<] AND [>] BUTTONS – These buttons are

used to navigate through the fields of menus and

options. The [<] button also functions as a

[CANCEL] button.

4. [PRESET] – This button calls up Preset Mode.

You can select and recall different Preset

programs in this mode.

5. [EDIT] – This button calls up Edit Mode, which

allows you to edit the behavior of the keyboard,

pads, knobs, buttons, sliders and default settings

for each preset.

6. [GLOBAL] – This button calls up Global Mode,

where MIDI reset commands and global system

preferences are set.

7. [PREVIEW] – This button allows you to see what

value will be sent by a controller, without actually

sending the value. This gives you precise control

over your parameters and helps avoid erroneous

controller data being sent to your devices due to

the physical position of the controller. This is

especially useful when switching between control

banks where, for example, the physical position

of a slider may not correspond to the last value

sent by the controller. Holding down [PREVIEW]

allows you to view the original value and adjust

the physical position of the slider as necessary

before transmitting any values.
