Question: Does the PANDA200 have internal sounds?

Answer: No. The PANDA200 is a MIDI-controller, which means that it does not

contain any sounds inside but is instead used to control external sound devices,

such as hardware and software synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.

Question: Do I need to use a power adapter if I am using the PANDA 100 with a

computer?

Answer: No. The PANDA200 will draw power directly from the USB port. However, if your

USB port does not supply enough power or if you are using a USB hub, it may be

necessary to use a power adapter.

Question: What software applications is the PANDA200 compatible with?

Answer: The PANDA200 is compatible with any software or hardware device which

supports the MIDI protocol. Please consult your specific hardware or software device’s

documentation for instructions on enabling the PANDA200 as a MIDI input device.

Question: Can I use the PANDA200 as a MIDI interface for other MIDI devices?

Answer: Yes. The PANDA200 functions as a MIDI interface which can send and receive

from other MIDI devices connected to it.

Question: Can I control multiple devices with the PANDA200?

Answer: Yes. The PANDA200 can transmit information on 16 MIDI channels

Question: Can I send Program Change messages to my software or hardware devices?

Answer: Yes. You can send program change messages in Program Change mode. In

addition, pads and buttons may also be assigned to transmit program change messages.

Question: Are the pads on the PANDA200 velocity and pressure sensitive?

Answer: Yes. The PANDA200 sports real MPC velocity and pressure sensitive pads. This

allows you to be extremely expressive with your programming and performance.

Question: What type of pads is used on the PANDA200?

Answer: The PANDA200 features the same pads as the MPC2500.

Question: Are the knobs on the PANDA200 endless?

Answer: The knobs on the PANDA200 are endless pots. This allows you to limit the

range of the knobs, as well as use them as increment/decrement controls. Please note

that your software application must be able to receive and recognize NRPNs for

Increment/decrement functions to work.

Question: I see 5 knobs, 8 faders, 26 buttons, and 16 pads. Is that all I get?

Answer: No. The PANDA200 features multiple banks of controllers and pads, which can

be accessed with the [PAD BANK] and [CONTROL BANK] buttons. This allows you to

access significantly more parameters than the amount of physical controllers. There are 3

control banks, which effectively give you 117 (3x39) controllers. There are also 4 different

pad banks which give you a total of 64 (4x16) pads.
