What is Control Change?
Control Change refers to the use of MIDI
Continuous Controller data. Continuous Controller
(CC) data are MIDI messages capable of
transmitting a range of values (0-127) and are
often used for controlling volume, pan and other
parameters on your DAW or sound module.
What is Aftertouch?
Aftertouch refers to MIDI information sent when
pressure is applied to a pad after it has been
struck, and while it is being held down. Aftertouch
is often used to control volume, vibrato and other
parameters. On the MPK61/MPK88, the knobs
and sliders can also be assigned to transmit
Aftertouch information.

EDITING KNOBS AND FADERS
