Editing a Knob
You can edit settings for each of the 8 Knobs on MPK mini Plus, including CC message, minimum
value, and maximum value. You can also set the channel through which all the knobs send MIDI

desired name.
To set the mode of a knob,
click the text field just below the knob and select
Absolute or Relative. In Absolute mode, the CC value corresponds directly to
knob position on the MPK. In Relative mode, knob position corresponds to a
particular knob position in your DAW, meaning the CC value will be relative to
that setting.
To select the CC value a knob sends,
click the CC field under a knob and then
type the desired CC number ( 0 – 127 ).
To select a knob's minimum and maximum values, click the Min field
(minimum) or Max field (maximum) under a knob and then type the desired value
( 0 – 127 ).
