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

Parameters section.
About HID
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. MPK249 can also use 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 MPK249.
To configure a control to use the HID protocol:
1. Press Edit to enter Edit Mode.
2. Select one of the Assignable Switches or DAW Control Buttons by pressing it. The
selected button and its editable parameters will appear in the display.
3. Turn the Value Dial to change the Type field to HID.
4. Use the Up Cursor and Down Cursor buttons to select the Key#1 field, and turn the
Value Dial to change it to the desired keystroke.
5. If your desired keystroke requires one or more modifier keys (e.g., Shift, Command, etc.),
repeat Step 4 for Key#2, which lets you select different combinations of 1-3 modifier
keys.
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.
