PAD THRESHOLD - Page 6 PAD THRESHOLD FIELD PAD THRESHOLD is the minimum force required to activate the pads. If you experience "ghost" triggering due to stage vibrations, you may wish to set this threshold higher. On the other hand, if you find it difficult to cause the pads to output sounds when playing them lightly, you may wish to set this value to a lower number. 1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to PdThresh (page 6). 2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select Transposition in semi-tones. 3. Press [ENTER] to set Transposition. Note: Transposing the keyboard will have a global effect on the MPK49. KEYBOARD TRANSPOSITION - Page 7 KEYBOARD TRANSPOSITION FIELD KEYBOARD TRANSPOSITION allows you to transpose MPK49's keyboard up or down. 1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to Transpos (page 7). 2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select Transposition in semi-tones. 3. Press [ENTER] to set Transposition. Note: Transposing the keyboard will have a global effect on the MPK49. MIDI CLOCK - Page 8 MIDI CLOCK FIELD MIDI CLOCK is used to synchronize devices together. In addition, MIDI Clock on the MPK49 is used in conjunction with the Note Repeat and Arpeggiator features to determine the location of the MIDI notes output when using either of these features. The MPK49 can be a master or slave for MIDI Clock transmission and reception. MIDI Clock 1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to MIDI CLK (page 8). 2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select "Internal" if you would like to generate MIDI Clock internally or "External" if you would like to slave the MPK49 to an external MIDI Clock source. 3. Press [ENTER] to set MIDI Clock source. Note: If "External" has been selected as a MIDI Clock source, the [TAP TEMPO] button will be disabled. TAP TEMPO AVERAGE - Page 9 TAP AVERAGE FIELD When using [TAM TEMPO] button to set the tempo, the MPK49 averages a number of taps in order to determine the tempo. You can set the number of taps used to determine the TAP TEMPO AVERAGE in this field. 1. While in Global Mode, use [>] button to scroll to Tap AVG (page 9). 2. Turn [VALUE] dial to select number of taps. 3. Press [ENTER] to set tap average. 33
