Quick Setup / Connection Diagram
Items not listed under the Box Contents are sold separately.
Important note for Mac OS X users: The first time you connect MPK249 to your computer,
you will see a Keyboard Setup Assistant message saying that your keyboard cannot be
identified. Do not click Continue. Instead, close the window by clicking the circle in the
upper-left corner. If you see another window asking you to select your type of keyboard, select
ANSI (United States and others) and click Done.
Note: If you do not want to use a computer in your setup, you have two options:
To use MPK249 to control an external MIDI module, connect MPK249's power input to a
power outlet using an optional power adapter (6V DC, 1A, center-positive, sold separately).
To use MPK249 to control an app on an iOS device, connect MPK249's USB Port to an iOS
device using an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), and power on MPK249
while holding down the Preview button.

Preset Mode
In Preset Mode, you can load, save, copy, and rename Presets. A Preset is a
collection of information about how the faders, knobs, buttons, and pads will
behave. Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you can
load them quickly without reprogramming the MPK249 every time. This is also
the default "performance mode."
To load a Preset:
1. Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.
2. Turn the Value Dial to select the desired Preset, which will appear in the display.
3. To load the selected Preset, press the Value Dial.

seconds.
To edit a Preset, please see the Edit Mode chapter.
To save or copy a Preset:
Note: Saving and copying a Preset are mostly the same operation. The difference is that
saving a Preset will save it to the same/original Preset number while copying a Preset will save
it to a different Preset number.
1. Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.
2. Press the Right Cursor button. Store Program will appear in the display.
3. If you want to save it to the current Preset, press the Value Dial.
If you want to save/copy it to a different Preset, turn the Value Dial to select the desired
Preset number (Copy Program will appear in the display), and then press the Value Dial.
To cancel the operation, press Preset.

blink.
4. Turn the Value Dial to change the blinking character, and use the Left Cursor and Right
Cursor buttons to move between the characters.
5. To save the Preset name when you are finished, press the Value Dial.
To cancel the operation, press Preset.
To restore the factory default Presets:
1. Press Preset to enter Preset Mode.
2. Press the Left Cursor button so Factory Settings appears in the display.

Edit Mode
In Edit Mode, you can edit the settings of the currently selected Preset. The
settings vary depending on the controller you are editing and are listed in the
Appendix: Mode Parameters section. Please note that the changes you make
will only apply to the currently selected Preset.
To navigate Edit Mode:
1. Press Edit to enter Edit Mode.
2. Select a control to edit (fader, pad, button, etc.) by moving or pressing it. The selected
control and its editable parameters will appear in the display.
3. In each page of Edit Mode:
•Use the Up Cursor and Down Cursor buttons to move through the parameters on
the current page.
•If there are multiple pages (indicated by Pg1, Pg2, etc.), use the Left Cursor and
Right Cursor buttons to move between different pages.
•Turn the Value Dial to change the currently selected value/setting.
4. To edit more controls, repeat Steps 2–3.
To return to a normal performance mode, press Preset.
Important: Save the Preset to retain your edits. Without saving, these changes will be lost if
you load a new Preset. See the Preset Mode section to learn how save your Preset.
Each section of this chapter is dedicated to a specific control and lists its editable parameters.
For an overview of the available controls and parameters, see the Appendix: Mode
Parameters section.
