1.LCD – The display is used for navigating menus, displaying data, and affecting change on MPD26’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 [>] – These buttons are used for navigate through 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 pads, knobs, 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.[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.

8.[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. Holding down [PREVIEW] allows you to view the original value and adjust the physical position of a fader, for example, as necessary before transmitting any values.
