1. LCD – The display is used for navigating
menus, displaying data, and affecting change
on MPK61/MPK88’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 [>] BUTTONS – These buttons are
used to navigate through the 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 the
keyboard, pads, knobs, buttons, 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. [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. This is especially
useful when switching between control banks
where, for example, the physical position of a
fader may not correspond to the last value
sent by the controller. Holding down
[PREVIEW] allows you to view the original
value and adjust the physical position of the
fader as necessary before transmitting any
values.
8. [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.
9. TRANSPORT CONTROL BUTTONS –
These five buttons are dedicated buttons for
sending transport control commands. The
transport control buttons can be set to
transmit either MMC (MIDI Machine Control),
MMC/MIDI SysEx, MIDI START/STOP or
pre-assigned MIDI CC values.
10. 8 ASSIGNABLE KNOBS –Each 360-degree
knob can be used to send continuous control
data to a desktop audio workstation or
external MIDI device.
11. 8 ASSIGNABLE FADERS – Each fader can
be used to send continuous control data to a
desktop audio workstation or external MIDI
device.
12. 8 ASSIGNABLE BUTTONS – These buttons
can be used as MIDI CC switches or Program
Change switches. They can function in
momentary or toggle modes. When [TIME
DIVISION] has been activated, these 8
buttons are used to set the time division of
the Arpeggiator and Note Repeat features.
13. [CONTROL BANK] – The MPK61/MPK88
features 3 independent banks of continuous
controllers. Effectively, this allows you to
control up to 72 independent parameters with
the knobs, faders and buttons on the
MPK61/MPK88. The [CONTROL BANK]
button is used to switch among the 3 banks.
The LEDs above the button will reflect the
currently selected control bank.
