  • [How to adjust AKAI MPK MIDI velocity on the keyboard itself   increase key sensitivity   any DAW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iU8q_2CTpE) - press Full level for 5 seconds, then adjust parameters with knobs K1 to K4. They all take a value ranging from 1.0 to 40.0, with the constraint that they must have decreasing values from v1 to v4
    • If you want to reset them to their default values:
      • v1: 24.0 / v3: 04.0
      • v2: 06.0 / v4: 02.4
      • Black bal: 0.7 - A value of 1.0 means the black keys will respond to pressure exactly as the white keys. A value of 0.5 means the black keys will be half as sensitive as the white keys.
