Akai MPK88 User Manual

 

MIDI PORT/CHANNEL FIELD 

 

 

The endless knobs on the MPK61/MPK88 may also be used as an increment/decrement NRPN function.  This 
allows you to use the knob to increment and decrement through parameters as opposed to sending an 
absolute value.  Please note that the implementation of NRPN functions depends strictly on the software with 
which you will be using the MPK61/MPK88.  Please consult your software’s documentation to find out how 
NRPN functions are supported. 

 

 

This field sets the MIDI Port and Channel which the knob will use to transmit 
messages.  You can assign the knobs to one of two MIDI Ports, A or B, and to 
one of 16 MIDI Channels on each port (i.e. A14).  You can also assign a knob 
or fader to use the MIDI Common Channel.
