DISPLAYING INFORMATION

As you are working with the MPK61/MPK88, the LCD will help you keep track of what values and parameters
are entered and sent to external devices. There are several kinds of information that the MPK61/MPK88 will
display while in use: OCTAVE, TRANSPOSITION, NOTE, AFTERTOUCH (Channel Pressure), CONTROL
CHANGE, MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC), and PREVIEW MODE information.

OCTAVE AND TRANSPOSITION

When using the keyboard, the LCD will display the
current octave and any transposition setting which
you may have applied.
Note: The octave settings will apply to individual
presets while transposition will affect all presets
globally.

NOTE

When a PAD is hit, the MPK61/MPK88 will output
MIDI Note On messages to trigger sounds on your
DAW or external device. Each pad can have a MIDI
Note Number associated with it. When you hit a
pad, the screen will display the MIDI Note Number,
the MIDI Port and Channel which the pad is using,
as well as the pad bank and velocity (how hard you
hit the pad).
Please see 'Editing Pads'( page 13) for more
information on MIDI Notes and Pads.

NOTE AFTERTOUCH (Channel Pressure)

When enabled, AFTERTOUCH is MIDI data sent
when pressure is applied to one of the pads after it
has been struck and while it is being held down. It
will be displayed on the far right of the display as
you apply pressure to the pad.

CONTROL CHANGE

When a KNOB or
MPK61/MPK88 will output MIDI Control Change
data. This data is used to change certain
parameters on your DAW or external sound module.
When you move a knob or fader, the screen will
indicate the Control Change (CC) Number, value,
and MIDI Channel.
Please see 'Editing Knobs and Faders' for
more information on Control Change.
