Selecting A Controller For Editing 

Before you can assign a MIDI cc to one of the MK-425C/449C/461C’s controllers, you will 
need to select it for editing. There are 2 methods for doing this: 
 
1. 

Press CONTROL SELECT. The LCD will display  the CONTROLLER symbol.  

 

The symbol will be flashing to indicate the controller settings can be altered. The  

 

3-digit display will show the number of the currently selected controller, proceeded 
by a 'C', or an 'F' if the controller is a fader.  

2. 

Type in the number of the controller using the numeric keypad, or the +/- 
buttons.  

or 
 

Move a fader/rotary controller.  

 

Simply moving a fader/rotary controller will make it the currently selected  

 

 

controller, ready for editing. 

 
It is not possible to select any of the 10 numerical buttons by pressing them, since during 
edit mode, they are used to enter numerical values. To program these buttons, please use 
the first method. We have given the buttons 0 to 9 the following numbers for the selection 
process: MK-425C = 11-20, MK-449C = 20-29, MK-461C = 24-33 respectively.
