Editing Knobs - Akai MPK25 Operator's Manual

EDITING KNOBS

The knobs on the MPK25 are controllers which can be set to transmit Control Change or Aftertouch
information. In addition, the knobs may also be assigned as an Increment/Decrement function. Their default
operation is to transmit Control Change information when used.
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 MPK25, the knobs can also
be assigned to transmit Aftertouch information.
