• Touch Sense (Q-Link Knobs only): This activates or deactivates the Q-Link Knob's touch-
capacitive circuitry.
When set to On, you can touch the Q-Link Knob to send a Note On message to the
o
software (this is how your MPC hardware normally works).
When set to Off, the Q-Link Knob will not send any Note On messages; it will only
o
send CC messages when you turn it.
• Touch Note (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the MIDI note number the Q-Link Knob will send to
the software when you touch it (0 – 127 or C-2 to G8). Touch Sense must be set to On for this
to work.
• Type (buttons only): This determines whether the button will behave as a Momentary switch or
Toggle (latching) switch.
• Note (pads only): This is the MIDI note number the pad will send to the software when you hit it
(0 – 127 or C-2 to G8).
• Bank (pads only): This is the pad bank the pad belongs to. If you check the Set All box, the
pad's messages and parameters will be identical across all eight banks.
• Velocity (pads only): This determines whether the pad will be velocity-sensitive (On) or not
(Off). When set to Off, hitting the pad will send a note at full-level (127) always.
• Aftertouch (pads only): This determines how the pad's aftertouch (pressure applied to the pad
after the initial hit) behaves.
When set to Off, the pad will not send any aftertouch messages.
o
When set to Channel, if you press multiple pads that have this setting, the aftertouch
o
messages they send will be identical.
When set to Poly, if you press multiple pads, the aftertouch message each pads
o
sends will be independent from the others'.
3. When you have set all of the parameters as desired, you can select another control or enter another
mode.
Remember: The edits you make in MIDI Control Mode will be retained with the current MPC Project.
If you want to use the same control map for all of your Projects, we recommend saving your control
map in your template file. See the Preferences: Auto Load/Save Tab part of the General Features
chapter for more information about template files.
