MIDI Channel

Common Chnl (Channel): This setting determines which MIDI channel is the common
channel (various controls can be assigned to the common channel in Edit Mode). The available
settings are USB A1–A16, and USB B1–B16.
Note Display
Type: Determines whether the display will show notes as Values (e.g., C2, F#3, etc.) or a
Number (e.g., 36, 54, etc.).
Pads
Pad Threshold: The velocity threshold to trigger the pads. The available range is 0–10. This
can help prevent false triggering or make it easier to trigger the pads.
Velocity Curve: The pads' velocity curve. The available settings are Linear, Exp1, Exp2,
Log1, and Log2.
Pad Gain: The pads' overall velocity sensitivity. The available range is 1–10. At 1, it would take
a lot of force to generate a velocity value of 127. At 10, the opposite is true.
Tempo
Tempo: The global tempo as indicated in beats per minute. When MPD232 is using its internal
MIDI clock, this global tempo setting determines the speed of the Note Repeat rate and
sequencer. The available range is 30–300 BPM.
Tap Average: The number of times you would need to press Tap Tempo to enter a new
tempo. The available range is 2–4.
Tempo LED: When MPD232 is using its internal MIDI clock, the Tap Tempo LED will flash in
time with the current tempo setting. You can set this feature to On or Off.
