ABOUT MODES

The MPK61/MPK88 has four different modes of operation. Each mode can be accessed by pressing the corresponding button on the MPK61/MPK88. 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 faders, 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 MPK61/MPK88 every time.

Edit Mode

This mode allows you to edit the configuration of the MPK61/MPK88. 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 faders are behaving. For example, you may wish to have a fader or 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.

Global Mode

This mode allows you to set global parameters and make general changes to how your MPK61/MPK88 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, pad response curves, display brightness, and more.

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.
