CONTROL AFTERTOUCH
The knobs on the MPK25 can also be set to
transmit AFTERTOUCH information.
Please see ‘Editing Knobs’ (page 16) for more
information on setting knobs to transmit Aftertouch.
MIDI MACHINE CONTROL COMMAND (MMC)
MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC) is commonly
used to send transport control messages to
hardware record or playback machines. For
example: Pressing [PLAY] on the MPK25 sends an
MMCPLAY message to a connected multi-track
recorder, which begins playing. When [STOP] is
pressed on the MPK25, the deck also stops.
PREVIEWING
When the [PREVIEW] button is held down and a
knob is moved, the LCD displays the screen on the
right. The display shows the assigned event and
the last sent value of moved knob. While the
[PREVIEW] button is held, the knob will not be
transmitting any information until [PREVIEW] is
released and the knob is used again. At that point,
the knob will begin transmitting from the value
selected in the New Value field while in Preview
mode. This gives you precise control over your
parameters and helps avoid erroneous controller
data being sent to your devices.
