EDITING KNOBS & FADERS

The knobs and faders on the MPD26 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.

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, usually 0-127. CC's are commonly used for controlling volume, pan, and other parameters on your DAW or sound module.

What is Aftertouch?

Aftertouch refers to MIDI data 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 vibrato, volume, and other parameters.
