EDITING TRANSPORT CONTROL

The MPD26 can be configured to send transport control information in a variety of ways: MMC (MIDI Machine Control), MMC/MIDI, MIDI, or CTRL. Some applications and devices have dedicated MMC functions and will only respond to MMC messages, while others may not have reserved MMC functions but implement transport control via MIDI SysEx or MIDI CC messages. To account for these scenarios, we have provided a way to edit the messages sent by the transport control buttons. This allows you to customize the MPD26’s transport to work with your application or external device.

1.To edit transport control settings, press [EDIT] to enter Edit Mode.

2.Now select the transport control for editing by pressing [ << ], [ >> ], [STOP], [PLAY], or [REC].
