1.
 
KEYBOARD – This 49-note keyboard is 
velocity-sensitive and, in conjunction with the 
OCTAVE DOWN/UP buttons, can control a 
ten-octave range. 
2.
 
OCTAVE DOWN/UP – These buttons can be 
used to shift the KEYBOARD's range up or 
down three octaves in either direction, 
allowing for a ten-octave range. When you 
are higher or lower than the center octaves, 
the corresponding OCTAVE button will light.  
3.
 
LCD – The display is used for navigating menus, displaying data, and affecting change on MAX49's 
options and parameters. 
4.
 
PITCH BEND WHEEL – Transmits MIDI Pitch Bend information to raise or lower the pitch of the 
KEYBOARD temporarily.  
5.
 
MODULATION WHEEL – Transmits continuous controller data (assignable to any CC number). 
6.
 
PADS – The pads can be used to trigger drum hits or other samples in your software. The pads are 
velocity-sensitive, which makes them very responsive and intuitive to play. 
7.
 
PAD BANK BUTTONS – These 4 buttons switch among pad banks A, B, C, D. Between these 4 banks 
with 12 PADS per bank, you can access up to 48 MIDI events using the PADS.  
8.
 
[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. 
9.
 
[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 toggle or momentary button. 
10.
  [ARP MODE] – Hold down this button and 
view the illuminated PADS to determine the 
Arpeggiator's current setting (each PAD has 
its corresponding Arpeggiator setting printed 
above it on the right-hand side). You can then 
change the setting by pressing different 
PADS.  
11.
  [SEQ SELECT] – Hold down this button then press a pad with text printed above it on the left-hand 
side to select a Sequence. The Sequence number is printed on the left-hand side above the bottom 
four pads. 
12.
  [ON/OFF] – This button enables and disables the internal Arpeggiator or the Sequencer, depending on 
which is currently selected (indicated by its LED button). These features work in conjunction with the 
Tempo and Time Division settings, which specify the rate of arpeggiation and the tempo of the 
sequence. Please note that the Arpeggiator and Sequencer can be synced either to an internal or 
external MIDI Clock source (such as a software DAW or a MIDI device). 
Note: For more information on using MAX49's 
Arpeggiator and Sequencer, please see the 
ARPEGGIATOR and SEQUENCER parts of this 
manual. 
Note: We recommend you set the KEYBOARD, 
PADS, and Sequencer to transmit MIDI data over 
different channels. By default, they are all set to 
the Common Channel, which means your 
performance on one of those items could affect 
the performance of another. To set the channels, 
see the EDIT MODE section of this manual.
