EDITING KNOBS AND FADERS

The knobs and faders on the MPK61/MPK88 are controllers which can be set to transmit Control Change or Aftertouch information. In addition, the endless knobs may also be assigned as an Increment/Decrement function. The default operation of knobs and faders is to transmit Control Change information when used.

What is Control Change?

Control Change refers to the use of MIDI Continuous Controller data. Continuous Controller

(CC)data are MIDI messages capable of transmitting a range of values (0-127) and are often used for controlling volume, pan and other parameters on your DAW or sound module.

What is Aftertouch?

Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when pressure is applied to a pad after it has been struck, and while it is being held down. Aftertouch is often used to control volume, vibrato and other parameters. On the MPK61/MPK88, the knobs and sliders can also be assigned to transmit Aftertouch information.
