INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Akai Professional MPD24 USB/MIDI

Control Unit! Based on the concept of the original MPC series, the MPD24 is the

ultimate tool for rhythm production. It combines the flexibility of a MIDI controller

with the intuitive feel of a drum pad.

For many years, studio musicians and performers have been faced with the dilemma

of how to best trigger and program drum material. At Akai Professional we strongly

believe that using a MIDI controller keyboard interface to do so simply doesn’t cut

it! This is our motivation for developing the MPD24. A truly fresh and intuitive

controller, the MPD24 will animate and breathe life into your production style and

your performance. We sincerely hope that you enjoy this product, as much as we

enjoyed building it for you!

6 ASSIGNABLE CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER SLIDERS

Each slider can be used to send continuous controller data to a Desktop Audio

Workstation or external MIDI device.

16 MPC-STYLE PRESSURE AND VELOCITY SENSITIVE

PADS

Each pad can be used to trigger drum hits or samples by tapping on them. The

pads are pressure and velocity sensitive, which makes them very responsive and

intuitive to play.

NAVIGATION / MENU DISPLAY SECTION

This is the LCD display used for navigating menus, displaying data, and affecting

change on the MPD24’s options and parameters.

NAVIGATION / CONTROL BUTTONS

These are the main buttons used for navigation, program change, pad bank change,

previewing, and switching amongst the different modes of operation.

8 ASSIGNABLE CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER KNOBS

Like the sliders, each 360-degree knob can be used to send continuous controller

data to a Desktop Audio Workstation or external MIDI device.

TRANSPORT CONTROL BUTTONS

These dedicated buttons can be used to send transport information to remotely

control a hard disk recording system or any other machine that understands MIDI

Machine Control (MMC).

EXTERNAL SOUND MODULE

EXTERNAL MIDI DEVICE

1. Connect a USB cable from your computer to the MPD24.

2. If you would like to use an external sound module, connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT

of the MPD24 to the MIDI IN of the external device.

3. If you would like to use another MIDI controller in your setup, connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from the

MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device to the MIDI IN of the MPD24.

A NOTE ABOUT USING THE MPD24 WITH SOFTWARE:

1. Make sure that the MPD24 and all external devices are connected and that the USB

cable is connected to your computer before opening any software applications on your

computer with which you might want to use the MPD24. If the unit is not plugged in

before, your software application might not recognize the MPD24 as an available

device.

2. In your software application, you will need to set the MPD24 as a default MIDI input

device. This is usually done in the MIDI section of the Preferences menu.
