MIDI Channel field
This field sets the MIDI Port and Channel which the pad will use
to transmit messages. You can assign pads to one of two MIDI
Ports, A or B, and to one of 16 MIDI Channels on each port (i.e.
B11). You may also assign the pad to the MIDI Common
Channel.

2. While in MIDI Port/Channel field, use [VALUE] dial to
select desired MIDI Port and Channel.
3. Use the [ > ] button to select the next field.
Note: When not used via USB, only pads assigned to port A will
transmit MIDI information via the 5-pin MIDI port on the back of
the MPD24.
Note field
This field sets the MIDI Note Number that the pad will transmit
when it is hit.

Note Number.

Note: Software modules or drum machines are often programmed
to trigger sounds based on specific Note Numbers associated with
each sample. You may have to experiment setting different Note
Numbers on the MPD24 to find the range that is suited for your
application.
Play Mode field
Here, you can select whether the pad transmits Note On/Off
information in a standard momentary (MTY) way like a
keyboard, where hitting the pad generates a Note On and
releasing it a Note Off message, or in a toggle (TGL) way where
the first hit of the pad outputs a Note On, the second hit
transmits a Note Off.
1. Use [ < ] or [ > ] button to select Play Mode field.
2. While in Play Mode field, use [VALUE] dial to select
desired Play Mode.

channel pressure message (CPR) or polyphonic pressure
message (PPR).
