Pads; Tempo - Akai MPK261 User Manual

Pads

Important: Edit Mode contains other parameters that affect the pads but are saved only with
the Preset, not with the global settings. See the Edit Mode: Pads section for more
information.
Pad Threshold: The velocity threshold to trigger the pads. The available range is 0–15. This
can help prevent false triggering or make it easier to trigger the pads.
Velocity Curve: The pads' velocity curve. The available settings are Linear, Exp1, Exp2,
Log1, and Log2.
Velocity Sensitivity (VelocitySense): The pads' overall velocity sensitivity. The available range
is 01–10. At a low value, it would take a lot of force to generate a velocity value of 127. At a
high value, the opposite is true.

Tempo

Important: Edit Mode contains other parameters that affect the tempo but are saved only with
the Preset, not with the global settings. See the Edit Mode: Tap Tempo section for more
information.
Tempo: The global tempo as indicated in beats per minute. When MPK261 is using its internal
MIDI clock, this global tempo setting determines the speed of the Arpeggiator, Sequencer,
and Note Repeat rate. The available range is 30–300 BPM.
Tap Average: The number of times you would need to press the Tap Tempo button to enter a
new tempo. The available range is 2–4.
Tempo LED: When MPK261 is using its internal MIDI clock, the Tap Tempo button LED will
flash in time with the current tempo setting. You can set this feature On or Off.
