Akai MPK49 Manuale Utente

 

 

 

DC POWER ADAPTER INPUT – Plug in a 

6V-

1A 

DC power adapter if you do not wish to power 

the MPK49 through the USB connection. 

POWER ADAPTER RESTRAINT – You can 
secure the power adapter cord to this restraint to 
prevent accidental unplugging. 

USB CONNECTION – Plug a standard USB 
cable into this outlet and into the USB port of 
your computer.  The computer’s USB port will 
provide power to the MPK49.  This connection is 
used to send and receive MIDI data to and from 
your computer and may also be used to send 
MIDI data from your computer to a device 
attached to the MIDI OUT port of the MPK49. 

MIDI OUT – Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect 
the MIDI OUT of the MPK49 to the MIDI IN of an 
external device. 

 

MIDI IN – Use a five-pin MIDI cable to connect 
the MIDI OUT of an external MIDI device to the 
MIDI IN of the MPK49. 

SUSTAIN PEDAL – Connect a ¼” TS sustain 
pedal to this input.  We recommend using the 
Alesis Sustain Pedal. 

EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT – Connect a ¼” 
TRS expression pedal to this input. We 
recommend using the Alesis F2 expression 
pedals.  

 

 

 

 

 

LCD – The display is used for navigating menus, 
displaying data, and affecting change on 
MPK49’s options and parameters. 

[VALUE]  (Push to Enter) – This dial is used to 
increment and decrement Presets, parameter 
values and settings.  This dial also functions as 
an [ENTER] button when it is pressed down. 

[<] AND [>] BUTTONS – These buttons are 
used to navigate through the fields of menus and 
options.  The [<] button also functions as a 
[CANCEL] button. 

[PRESET]  – This button calls up Preset Mode.  
You can select and recall different Preset 
programs in this mode. 

[EDIT] – This button calls up Edit Mode, which 
allows you to edit the behavior of the keyboard, 
pads, knobs, buttons, sliders and default settings 
for each preset. 

[GLOBAL] – This button calls up Global Mode, 
where MIDI reset commands and global system 
preferences are set. 

[PREVIEW] – This button allows you to see what 
value will be sent by a controller, without actually 
sending the value.  This gives you precise control 
over your parameters and helps avoid erroneous 
controller data being sent to your devices due to 
the physical position of the controller.  This is 
especially useful when switching between control 
banks where, for example, the physical position 
of a slider may not correspond to the last value 
sent by the controller.  Holding down [PREVIEW] 
allows you to view the original value and adjust 
the physical position of the slider as necessary 
before transmitting any values.
