14. 12 MPC PRESSURE AND VELOCITY
SENSITIVE PADS – The pads can be used
to trigger drum hits or samples on your
software or hardware module or can be
configured to send Program Change
messages. The pads are pressure and
velocity sensitive, which makes them very
responsive and intuitive to play.
15. PAD BANK buttons – These 4 buttons
switch among pad banks A, B, C, D. Each
bank can address a unique set of 12 sounds,
giving you access of up to 48 different
sounds you can trigger with the pads.
The currently selected pad bank will
be indicated on the LCD display
16. [FULL LEVEL] – When [FULL LEVEL] is
activated, the pads always play back at a
maximum velocity (127), no matter how hard
or soft you hit them.
17. [12 LEVEL] – When [12 LEVEL] is activated,
you can use the 12 pads to change a
selected sound’s velocity in 12 steps. When
you press the [12 LEVEL] button, the last pad
that was hit gets mapped to all 12 pads. The
pads will now output the same note number
and pressure controller as the initial pad, but
the velocity is
fixed at the values
shown in the
diagram on the
right, regardless
of how hard you
hit them. This
allows you to have
more control over
the velocity of a
sound.
18. [NOTE REPEAT] – Holding this button while
striking a pad causes the pad to retrigger at a
rate based on the current Tempo and Time
Division settings. The Note Repeat feature
can be synced to an internal or external MIDI
Clock source. [NOTE REPEAT] can function
as a latching or momentary button
19. [TIME DIVISION] – This button is used to
specify the rate of the Note Repeat and
Arpeggiator features. When [TIME
DIVISION] is activated, you can press one of
the 8 switches to specify a time division.
[TIME DIVISION] can function as a
momentary or toggle button.
Please note that while [TIME DIVISION] is
active, the 8 assignable buttons will not
function as MIDI CC or Program Change
switches until [TIME DIVISION] has been de-
activated.
20. [ARP ON/OFF] – This button enables and
disables the internal Arpeggiator. The
Arpeggiator will only function on notes being
played on the keyboard. The Arpeggiator
feature on the MPK49 works in conjunction
with the Tempo and Time Division settings,
which specify the rate of arpeggiation.
Please note that the Arpeggiator can be
synced either to an internal or external MIDI
Clock source (such as a software DAW or a
MIDI device).
21. [LATCH] – This button works in conjunction
with the Arpeggiator. When the Arpeggiator
is turned on and [LATCH] has been enabled,
you can hold down a combination of keys --
the Arpeggiator will memorize and continue to
arpeggiate these notes, even if you depress
the keys. There are a couple of ways to use
the [LATCH] function:
a. While holding down the keys, you can
add more notes to the sequence by
pressing down additional keys.
b. If you depress the keys, release them,
and then press down a new
combination of notes, the Arpeggiator
will memorize and arpeggiate the new
notes.
22. [OCTAVE + / -] – These buttons can be used
to shift the keyboard’s range up and down.
The display will indicate which octave you
have shifted to. If both buttons are pressed
at the same time, the octave shift will reset to
0.
23. [TAP TEMPO] – This button allows you to tap
in a new tempo. If the preset is reloaded, the
tempo will revert to the saved tempo value.
(Please note that a preset’s default tempo
can be set in Edit Mode). Tap Tempo does
not work when the MPK49 is set to External
sync.
24. PITCH BEND WHEEL – Transmits MIDI
Pitch Bend information on a selected MIDI
channel and port.
25. MODULATION WHEEL – This wheel can be
used to transmit continuous controller data.
By default, the modulation wheel will transmit
MIDI CC #01.
