1.LCD – The display is used for navigating menus, displaying data, and affecting change on MPK61/MPK88’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, faders 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 fader 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 fader as necessary before transmitting any values.
8.[PROGRAM CHANGE] – Pressing this button will enter Program Change mode. In this mode, you can send a Program Change or Program with Bank Change message to a hardware or software module.
9.TRANSPORT CONTROL BUTTONS – These five buttons are dedicated buttons for sending transport control commands. The transport control buttons can be set to transmit either MMC (MIDI Machine Control), MMC/MIDI SysEx, MIDI START/STOP or
10.8 ASSIGNABLE KNOBS
11.8 ASSIGNABLE FADERS – Each fader can be used to send continuous control data to a desktop audio workstation or external MIDI device.
12.8 ASSIGNABLE BUTTONS – These buttons can be used as MIDI CC switches or Program Change switches. They can function in momentary or toggle modes. When [TIME DIVISION] has been activated, these 8 buttons are used to set the time division of the Arpeggiator and Note Repeat features.
13.[CONTROL BANK] – The MPK61/MPK88 features 3 independent banks of continuous controllers. Effectively, this allows you to control up to 72 independent parameters with the knobs, faders and buttons on the MPK61/MPK88. The [CONTROL BANK] button is used to switch among the 3 banks. The LEDs above the button will reflect the currently selected control bank.
