4.1 Menyambung Pedal

The MPC-10 features two 1/4-inch (6.35mm) input jacks labeled EXP1 and EXP2 for connecting your pedals. The device automatically detects the type of pedal connected (expression, sustain, dual-switch, FSR hi-hat).

• Connect your expression or sustain pedals to the EXP1 and/or EXP2 inputs.
• For optimal detection, ensure pedals are connected before powering on the MPC-10. If you change pedals while the unit is on, power cycle the MPC-10 to ensure correct detection.
• When connecting expression pedals, position them approximately in the middle of their range during power-up to prevent misidentification as a footswitch.

4.2 Power and MIDI Connections

The MPC-10 is powered via its USB-C port and can output MIDI data through both USB and a 3.5mm MIDI OUT jack.

• Sambungan USB: Connect the supplied USB-C cable from the MPC-10's USB port to a computer, mobile device, or a powered USB hub. The MPC-10 will appear as a class-compliant MIDI device.
• MIDI DIN Connection: Use the included 3.5mm to MIDI 5-pin DIN adapter cable to connect the MPC-10's 3.5mm MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI IN port of your musical instrument or MIDI interface.

5. Arahan Operasi

Once connected, the MPC-10 will automatically begin sending MIDI messages based on the pedal inputs. By default, the MPC-10 sends specific MIDI messages:

• Expression pedals typically map to MIDI CC#21 (undefined by default, often remapped to CC#11 for expression in DAWs).
• Single footswitches map to MIDI CC#64 (Sustain).
• Dual footswitches (or two single footswitches via a TRS splitter) map to MIDI CC#64 (Sustain) and CC#66 (Sostenuto).
• All controller messages are sent on MIDI channel 1 by default.

These default settings can be customized using the DOREMiDi Pedal Config Tool software.

6. Configuration Software (DOREMiDi Pedal Config Tool)

The DOREMiDi Pedal Config Tool allows you to customize the MIDI messages sent by each pedal connected to the MPC-10. This software is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems.
