Here we will outline the steps to utilize your MPK's Arpeggiator and Note Repeat to match the tempo with your DAW.
To accomplish this on the MPK Mini Plus, MPK Mini Play, MPK Mini MK3, and MPK Mini MK2, ensure you download the correct MPK Editor here.
1. Open up the appropriate MPK Editor.
2. Search for Clock and change it to External.
For example, in this case, I'm utilizing the MPK Mini Plus Editor:
3. Press File > Send Program > Ram (makes it the default program) or Program 1-8 (saves it to a different program).
To achieve this on the MPK225, MPK249 and MPK261:
1. Press GLOBAL to enter Global Mode.
2. Use the Up or Down Cursor buttons to scroll to Clock.
3. Use the Value Dial to change the Clock from Internal to External.
4. Use the Up or Down Cursor buttons to scroll to Save Globals.
5. Press the Value Dial to save the settings.
NOTE: You can determine if the MPK is synchronized with the External Clock by checking if the Tap Tempo button is inactive.
Make sure that you have SYNC activated in your DAW's MIDI Output Ports (MPK) settings, and also ensure that you press Play on your DAW before hitting a note on the MPK.
