MPK mini
| BANK − / + | LIST → NOW PLAYING → DECKS → SPOTIFY |
| TAP TEMPO | one step back (↩) |
| SHIFT + wheel | a frame over F1–F6 · press the wheel = that key (LOAD A / B, DECKS …) |
| the overview | (the small bar under the time) FOCUS + press: DATA moves through the track, a beat a detent · ◆ then sets the cue exactly there |
| K7 (A) | in a list: scroll (DECKS: the crossfader once the list is closed) |
| wheel (MPK: K5 knob) | DATA (on the decks: FOCUS – also LOW, MID, HIGH, FILTER) |
The list
| DATA | choose · ENTER: play / open the folder · ↩ back · the number on the right: the BPM, once the track was on a deck |
| F1 F2 · K3 K4 | LOAD A / LOAD B: the track onto a deck |
| K1 K2 | PLAY / STOP A / B – from the list too |
| F6 | DECKS: the two decks (also K6) · SHIFT: REPEAT · SHIFT+F5: SHUFFLE |
DECKS · F keys
| F1 F6 | PLAY A / B · SHIFT: to the start |
| F2 F5 | PHONES A / B: the deck in the headphones |
| F3 F4 | SYNC A / B: follows the other deck's tempo and beat |
| K3 | AUTO VOL: every track equally loud |
| K5 key | GLOBAL (from everywhere): SCAN LIBRARY – every track measured once (BPM, beat, waveform), runs on in the background · AUTO VOL · read the list again (a stick plugged in or pulled: by itself) · HEADPHONES SPLIT: no headphone output (the browser) – L the master, R the PHONES deck, both mono, for a Y cable · ↩ / F6 close |
DECKS · encoders
| 1 · 3 | volume A · B · SHIFT: FILTER (left low pass, right high pass) |
| 2 · 4 | nudge A · B (1 % of a beat a click; with SYNC: SYNC's beat) · SHIFT: pitch ±25 % |
| A · B | crossfader · cue ⇄ master · SHIFT: MID A / B |
| DATA | FOCUS: the orange frame over every control (LOW only here) · ENTER uses it (a value: DATA changes, ENTER ends) · on a title: the list, ENTER loads into that deck |
| BPM | wrong? FOCUS on the deck's BPM, ENTER: DATA ±0.1 · K3 half · K4 double · ENTER ends – kept for this track (the beat grid follows) |

◆ in each deck's transport row = CUE 1 · cues and the analysis (BPM, waveform) are saved per track – loaded again, it is all there at once · CUE empty: set on the next beat · set: jump there · SHIFT (MPK: tap SHIFT, then the pad) or held 1 s: clear · LOOP: from the next beat, again: out at its end · a loop running: SHIFT + LOOP 4 = ½, SHIFT + LOOP 8 = ×2 (1/8 beat … 8 s) · no loop: SHIFT + LOOP 4 / 8 held = ROLL ½ / ¼ beat, let go: the track plays on where it would be · GLOBAL also in the list (under SPOTIFY)

A track loaded: its deck's pitch, FILTER, LOW, MID and HIGH back to 0 (the volume stays)
