This turns Pattern mode on and off. This is the same as holding the ARP button and pressing the PATTERN key (G#2).
This determines the current editing view for the pads.
In this mode, the pads add accents to notes and set Off steps. Tap the pad once to edit the step to add an accent (pad is lit yellow). Tap the pad again to edit the step to an Off step (pad is unlit). Tap the pad again to return to an unaccented On step (pad is lit red).
In this mode, tap a pad to edit the step to add sustain to the note (pad is lit blue). The current Gate setting will be ignored for a Sustain note, and the note is instead played with 110% Gate. This causes the note to ring out longer, potentially overlapping with the next played note in the arp pattern.
In this mode, tap a pad to edit the step to add a note ratchet (pad is lit green). This will play two notes at two-times the current time division setting. For example, if the time division is 1/8, then a ratchet step will play two notes at 1/16.
This determines how the arpeggiator will play when an Off step is encountered.
In this mode, the next note in line is skipped when an Off step is encountered. This results in an arpeggio where notes consistently fall on the same beats, even if Off steps are inserted.
In this mode, the next note in line is held when an Off step is encountered until the next On step. This results in an arpeggio where notes do not always fall on the same beats when Off steps are inserted.

This is the highest value sent by the knob.
This determines the behavior of the knob. When set to Abs (Absolute), the knob always sends a definitive value between the set LoVal and HiVal, such as between 0 and 127. With endless encoders, this can mean that in certain uses you may need to spin the encoder to “catch up” to the current control value, such as when switching between banks of different controls. When set to Rel (Relative), the knob sends general messages that either decrease or increase the current value for the assigned control depending on which way you turn the knob. The speed of the value change is also relative to how fast you turn the knob.
To save a custom program, hold SHIFT and press the OCT + button. Use the encoder to select a User preset slot, and then press it to confirm.

This determines the behavior of the Transport buttons (Undo, Loop, Stop/Play, Record, and Overdub).
When set to nOff, the Transport buttons send a Note On message only each time they are pressed. When set to wOff, the Transport buttons send a Note On message when pressed and a Note Off message when released.
This determines the playing response of the keys.
Light: For players with a lighter touch, notes will reach higher velocity with less force.
Heavy: For heavier-handed players, notes will require more force to hit higher velocities.

Descrizione
This determines the default mode for the knobs, affecting all eight at the same time.
When set to Abs (Absolute), the knob always sends a definitive value between the set LoVal and HiVal, such as between 0 and 127. With endless encoders, this can mean that in certain uses you may need to spin the encoder to “catch up” to the current control value, such as when switching between banks of different controls.
When set to Rel (Relative), the knob sends general messages that either decrease or increase the current value for the assigned control depending on which way you turn the knob. The speed of the value change is also relative to how fast you turn the knob.
Depending on the polarity of your sustain pedal, normally open or closed, you can adjust this setting to ensure sustain messages are correctly transmitted to MPK® mini IV. If you are having issues with a connected sustain pedal not working as intended, try changing to the opposite setting.
This setting determines the source of data sent to the MIDI Out port. Select USB to send MIDI coming from the USB-C® port. Select INT to send internal MIDI data from the MPK® mini IV hardware.
