Important: For more complete explanations of how to use all of these controls, please see the
Operation chapter.
1. Keyboard: This 25-note keyboard is velocity-sensitive with aftertouch and, in conjunction
with the Key Octave –/+buttons, can access the full range of 127 available MIDI notes (10
octaves).
2. Pitch-Bend Wheel: Move this wheel to send MIDI pitch bend information.
You can also change this wheel’s MIDI assignment. See Operation > Wheels > Editing
Assigments to learn how to do this.
3. Modulation Wheel: Move this wheel to send continuous controller data—MIDI CC #01
(modulation), by default.
You can also change this wheel’s MIDI assignment. See Operation > Wheels > Editing
Assigments to learn how to do this.

Press and hold Transpose and press one of the buttons to move the keyboard down or
up a semitone.
5. Pads: Use these pads to trigger drum hits or other samples in your software or external MIDI
sound module. The pads are velocity-sensitive, which makes them very responsive and
intuitive to play.
You can also change these pads’ MIDI assignments. See Operation > Pads > Editing
Assigments to learn how to do this.
6. Pad Octave –/+: Press one of these buttons to move the pads up or down an octave.

controls that are in the same mode as the Bank Right/Left buttons, distinguishable by this
button’s color:
Red: MIDI Mode
Green: Mackie Control/HUI Mode
Yellow: HID Mode
White: Global (the default; this affects all assignable controls regardless of their current
modes)
Learn more about these modes in Operation > Basic Concepts > Control Modes >
Using the Bank Buttons.
12. Encoders (E1–E4):Use these 360º knobs to send MIDI CC or Mackie Contro/HUI
messages to your software or external MIDI device. You can also change these encoders’
MIDI assignments.

14. Transport Controls: These six buttons are dedicated buttons for sending conventional
Mackie Control/HUI transport control commands: Rewind (), Fast-Forward (), Stop
(), Play (), and Record ().
15. Display: Use this screen to view parameter values, settings, and messages relevant to
Code 25’s current operation. The various messages shown here are described throughout
this User Guide.
16. Preset Down/Up ():Use these buttons to move to the previous or next preset.
You can also use these buttons to cycle through the editable parameters shown in the
display, set the global MIDI channel, or set the MIDI channel of a zone of the keyboard.
17. Shift: Press and hold this button to access the secondary functions of certain buttons and
keys. Press this button in Zone Edit Mode to access additional zone editing functions.
18. Channel: Press this button to enter or exit Channel Mode. In Channel Mode, use the
Preset Down/Up () buttons to change Code 25’s global MIDI channel. See Operation
> Basic Concepts > Channels > Global Channel to learn more about this mode.
19. Edit: Press this button to enter or exit Edit Mode. In Edit Mode:
•Use the Preset Down/Up () buttons to change the value or setting of the
parameter shown in the display.
•Use the keyboard’s keys to access additional functions or commands (printed above
the keys).
Learn more about this mode in Operation > Basic Concepts > Edit Mode.
20. Zone, 1–4: Press the Zone button to enter Zone Mode, which lets you use 4 different
overlapping or non-overlapping ranges of keys on different MIDI channels. This is useful
for sending notes to 4 virtual instruments or 4 external synthesizers from the same
keyboard, for example.
Press any of the 1–4buttons simultaneously or separately (when the Zone Button is
active/lit) to activate or deactivate those zones of the keyboard. When a zone is active, its
corresponding button will be lit.
Press and hold the Zone Button for 1 second to enter or exit Zone Edit Mode. You can
press any of the flashing 1–4buttons to edit that zone.
Learn more about zones in Operation > Basic Concepts > Zones.

22. X/Y Pad: This touch-sensitive pad lets you control two parameters simultaneously in a
two-dimensional way (rather than a traditional one-dimensional modulation wheel). You
can assign the parameter and range of each axis, X(horizontal) and Y(vertical). This pad
can be in one of three modes as determined by the X-Mode and Y-Mode buttons.
You can also change each axis’s MIDI assignment. See Operation > X-Y Pad > Editing
Assigments to learn how to do this.
23. X/Y Buttons: Press one of these buttons to send the maximum value for the parameter
assigned to that axis.
In Edit Mode, press one of these buttons when assigning a parameter to assign it to that
axis: X(horizontal) or Y(vertical).
In HID Mode, use the Xor Ybutton as a left-click or right-click mouse command
(respectively).
24. X-Mode /Y-Mode: Press one of these buttons to cycle through the available modes for
that axis of the X/Y Pad, distinguishable by the button’s color:
Red: MIDI CC Mode (the axis is assigned to a MIDI CC number)
Pink: In MIDI Note Mode (the axis is assigned a range of MIDI notes)
Yellow: HID Mode (the axis lets you use the X/Y Pad as a mouse/track pad)

1. Power Input: If you do not want to use a computer in your setup (i.e., if you are using
Code 25 to control an external MIDI module), connect Code 25’s power input to a power
outlet using an optional power adapter (9 VDC, 1 A, center-positive, sold separately).
Alternatively, you can connect Code 25’s USB Port to a power outlet using a standard
USB charger (sold separately).
2. Power Switch: Press this button to power Code 25 on. Press and hold this button for 1
second and then release it to power Code 25 off.
3. USB Port: Use a standard USB cable to connect this USB port to your computer. The
computer’s USB port provides ample power to Code 25. This connection is also used to
send and receive MIDI data to and from your computer.
This connection is also relevant to Code 25’s MIDI Out and MIDI In:
•If an external device is connected to the MIDI Out, your computer can send MIDI
messages out along this path: computer Code 25 external device.
•If an external device is connected to the MIDI In, the external device sends MIDI
messages in along this path: external device Code 25 computer. MIDI
messages can then be sent to an external device via the MIDI Out, but it must pass
through the computer first.
4. Sustain In: Connect an optional 1/4” (6.35 mm) TS sustain pedal to this input.
You can also change this input’s MIDI assignment. See Operation > Sustain Pedal >
Editing Assigments to learn how to do this.
5. Volume In: Connect an optional 1/4” (6.35 mm) TRS expression pedal to this input.
You can also change this input’s MIDI assignment. See Operation > Volume Pedal >
Editing Assigments to learn how to do this.
6. MIDI In: Use a standard five-pin MIDI cable to connect this MIDI In to the MIDI Out of an
external MIDI device (e.g., another MIDI controller). The MIDI messages sent to this MIDI In
will be sent to your computer via the USB port.
7. MIDI Out: Use a standard five-pin MIDI cable to connect this MIDI Out to the MIDI In of an
external MIDI device (e.g., a synthesizer, sequencer, drum machine, etc.).
8. Kensington®Lock Slot: You can use this slot to secure your Code 25 to a table or other
surface.
