MIDI MACHINE CONTROL COMMAND (MMC)

MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC) is commonly used to send transport control messages to hardware record or playback machines. For example: Pressing [PLAY] on the MPK25 sends an MMCPLAY message to a connected multi-track recorder, which begins playing. When [STOP] is pressed on the MPK25, the deck also stops.

PREVIEWING

When the [PREVIEW] button is held down and a knob is moved, the LCD displays the screen on the right. The display shows the assigned event and the last sent value of moved knob. While the [PREVIEW] button is held, the knob will not be transmitting any information until [PREVIEW] is released and the knob is used again. At that point, the knob will begin transmitting from the value selected in the New Value field while in Preview mode. This gives you precise control over your parameters and helps avoid erroneous controller data being sent to your devices.
