As you are working with the MPD26, the LCD will help you keep track of what values are being sent to 
external devices.  There are several kinds of information that the MPD26 will display while in use:  NOTE, 
AFTERTOUCH (Channel Pressure),  CONTROL CHANGE,  MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC), and 
PREVIEW MODE information. 

 

 
When a PAD  is hit, the MPD26 will output MIDI 
Note On messages to trigger sounds on your DAW 
or external device.  Each pad can have a MIDI Note 
Number associated with it.  When you hit a pad, the 
screen will display the MIDI Note Number, the MIDI 
Port and Channel which the pad is using, as well as 
the pad bank and velocity (how hard you hit the 
pad). 
 

 

on MIDI Notes and Pads. 
 
 

 

When enabled, AFTERTOUCH is MIDI data sent 
when pressure is applied to one of the pads after it 
has been struck and while it is being held down.  
Aftertouch will be displayed on the far right of the 
display as you apply pressure to the pad. 

 
When a KNOB or FADER is used, the MPD26 will 
output MIDI Control Change data.  This data is used 
to control parameters on your DAW or external 
sound module.  When you move a knob or fader, 
the screen will indicate the Control Change (CC) 
Number, value, and MIDI Channel. 
 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 
The knobs and faders on the MPD26 can also be 
set to transmit AFTERTOUCH information.
