EDITING TRANSPORT CONTROL

The transport control section on the MPK25 can be configured to send transport control information in a
variety of ways: MMC (MIDI Machine Control), MMC/MIDI, MIDI, or CTRL. Some applications and devices
have dedicated MMC functions and will only respond to MMC messages, while others may not have reserved
MMC functions but implement transport control via MIDI SysEx or MIDI CC messages. To account for these
scenarios, we have provided a way to edit the messages sent by the transport control buttons. This allows
you to customize the MPK25's transport to best work with your application or external device.
