DISPLAYING INFORMATION

As you are working with the MPK25, the LCD will help you keep track of what values and parameters are entered and sent to external devices. There are several kinds of information that the MPK25 will display while in use: OCTAVE, TRANSPOSITION, NOTE, AFTERTOUCH (Channel Pressure), CONTROL CHANGE, MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC), and PREVIEW MODE information.

OCTAVE AND TRANSPOSITION

When using the keyboard, the LCD will display the current octave and any transposition setting which you may have applied.

Note: The octave settings will apply to individual presets while transposition will affect all presets globally.

NOTE

When a PAD is hit, the MPK25 will output MIDI Note On messages to trigger sounds on your DAW or external device. Each pad can have a MIDI Note Number associated with it. When you hit a pad, the screen will display the MIDI Note Number, the MIDI Port and Channel which the pad is using, as well as the pad bank and velocity (how hard you hit the pad).

Please see ‘Editing Pads’( page 13) for more information on MIDI Notes and Pads.
