Akai MPK25 AKAI MPK25 Manuale Utente

 

 

 

The MPK25 has four different modes of operation.  Each mode can be accessed by pressing the 
corresponding button on the MPK25.  Following is a short description of each mode: 
 

 

Preset Mode 

 

This mode allows you to load, save and copy Presets.  A Preset is a 
collection of information about how different knobs and pads will behave.  
Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you can quickly 
load them when you need them, without having to reprogram the MPK25 
every time.   

 
 

Edit Mode 

 

This mode allows you to edit the configuration of the MPK25.  Edit Mode is a 
powerful tool for customizing your set-up.  In this mode, you can make 
changes to how the keyboard, pads, knobs and other features are behaving.  
For example, you may wish to have a knob transmit only a limited range of 
MIDI data, or you may wish to have a pad that transmits on a different MIDI 
Channel.  You can change these and other various parameters in Edit Mode. 
See the PRESET parameter table for a full listing of parameters. 

 
 
Global  Mode 

 

This mode allows you to set global parameters and make general changes to 
how your MPK25 is functioning.  For example, in  Global Mode you can 
change how the pads respond to the touch, or change the brightness of the 
LCD screen.  The parameters that you can modify in Global Mode also 
include controller resets, MIDI Common Channel, Pad Velocity Curve, Pad 
Threshold, Keyboard Transposition, and more. See Global Mode on Page 12 
for a full list of the menus. 

 
 
Program Change Mode 

 

This mode allows you to transmit various Program Change messages.  In 
this mode, you can tell your DAW or an external device to switch to a 
different program bank of sounds.  This way, you can avoid having to 
manually switch between different programs on your DAW or external device.
