M IDI : UN IT 2 SETTINGS
Unit 2 Midi: Settings page is nearly identical to the Unit 1 MIDI: Settings page, however, Unit 2 can be configured
as a CC map, which allows the user to create a custom CC map on the MPG-50 control surface, allowing them
to control other gear using CCs.
If Unit 2 is set to OFF, then the MPG-50 will not give users the option to choose which unit is being edited. If
Unit 2 is set to MKS-50, Juno, or CC, then the user will have the option to choose which unit is being edited, by
using the MAIN button (When on the MAIN screen), or by [SHIFT]+[MAIN] from any other screen.
If using a CC map for unit 2, please refer to the section in this manual called USER CC MAPS for information
about creating, storing, and loading USER CC MAP objects.

MIDI Port 2:
MIDI Port 2: This sets the direction of the MIDI IN/OUT jack, which we are calling PORT 2. If this setting is set
to INPUT, then the IN/OUT jack will function as a second MIDI IN. If this is set to OUTPUT, then the IN/OUT jack
will act as a second MIDI OUT. Port 2 allows for a lot of flexibility in setting up the MPG-50 in a rig. Users can
choose which MIDI port Unit 1 and 2 will receive data on and send data on.
Multi-unit Poly Mode:
Multi-unit Poly Mode: When enabled, this function allows Unit 1 and Unit 2 MKS-50 to act as a single
synthesizer, which doubles polyphony. When enabled Note/CC/control data will be received on Unit 1 In Ch
When enabled Note/CC/control data will be received on Unit 1 In Ch
only (Unit 2 In Ch will be ignored), and the MPG-50 will send note data on the Unit1Ch and Unit2Ch. For this
only (Unit 2 In Ch will be ignored), and the MPG-50 will send note data on the Unit1Ch and Unit2Ch. For this
mode to work, Unit 1 Ch and Unit 2 Ch must be different channels.
mode to work, Unit 1 Ch and Unit 2 Ch must be different channels.
Multi-Unit Poly Mode mode is for setups that utilize two MKS-50 synthesizer modules. When enabled, this
allows for a 12-voice Alpha Juno.
