Key 2: If Keystroke is the selected Type, this determines what modifier keystroke (e.g., Shift,
Command, etc.), if any, the switch sends with the Key 1 keystroke. The available modifier
keystrokes are None, Control, Shift, Alt, Option, Control-Shift, Control-Alt, Control-Option,
Shift-Alt, Shift-Option, Alt-Option, Control-Option-Alt, Control-Shift-Alt, and Control-
Shift-Option.
Tip: The HID (Human Interface Device) protocol lets devices send typical computer keyboard
keystrokes. USB game controllers are an example of this, acting as an alternative to your
computer's keyboard. MPD232 also uses the HID protocol, letting you configure certain
buttons to send your most-often used keystrokes to your software, so you no longer need to
switch focus constantly between the computer's keyboard and your MPD232.
Knobs
(Potentiometer 01–24)
Type: The type of message that will be sent. The available settings are MIDI CC, Aftertouch,
Increment/Decrement 1 (Inc/Dec1), and Increment/Decrement 2 (Inc/Dec2).
MIDI Channel: This setting determines over which MIDI channel the messages are sent. The
available settings are Common, USB A1–A16, and USB B1–B16.
CC Number: If MIDI CC or Inc/Dec2 is the selected Type, this determines the MIDI CC
number. The available range is 000–127.
MIDI to DIN: This determines whether or not MIDI data is sent to the MIDI Out (On) or not
(Off). MIDI data will be sent to MPD232's USB connection regardless of this setting.
Min / Max: If MIDI CC or Aftertouch is the selected Type, these determine the lowest (Min)
and highest (Max) values. (If Min is higher than Max, the knob's polarity will be reversed.) The
available range is 000–127.
MSB / LSB: If Inc/Dec1 is the selected Type, these determine the MSB (Most Significant Bit)
and LSB (Least Significant Bit). The available range is 000–127.
Value: If Inc/Dec1 is the selected Type, this determines the value sent by an Increment (CC
#96) or Decrement (CC #97) message. The available range is 000–127.
Note Repeat
Time Division: The speed of the Note Repeat repetition as a division of the master tempo or
external clock. The available options are 1/4, 1/4T, 1/8, 1/8T, 1/16, 1/16T, 1/32, and 1/32T. (T
denotes a triplet-based time division.)
Mode: This determines whether it is in Toggle or Momentary Mode.
Gate: The length of the repeated notes of the Note Repeat feature and of the sequencer. The
available range is 1–99% of the current time division setting.
Swing: The amount of swing used in the repeated notes of the Note Repeat feature and in the
sequencer. The available range is 50–75%.
