The UTILITY menu of the MPS-10 contains many functions and settings.
To use the UTILITY functions, press the UTILITY button to enter UTILITY mode.
If you’re accessing a page for which the UTILITY button is not lit, press the EXIT button repeatedly until you get to a page where the UTILITY button lights up.
From this screen, you can configure the pad triggers, audio input/output, metronome, MIDI, display indications and other functions.
Master Tune 430 Hz...450 Hz
Lets you set the basic tuning of the MPS-10. (The default setting is “440 Hz”.)
Note: When the “M.Tune” OSC setting for the INST is “ON”, Master Tune is enabled.
Sound off All, Before KIT Change
Sets the function of the SOUND OFF button.
All: Stops the sound of all pads that are outputting sound.
Before KIT Change: Stops the sounds of the KIT you used before switching to a different KIT.
Edit PAD Auto Select On, Off
By striking the pad in the location where you can select the pad number, you can set whether to enable the pad selection function.
Memory Protect On, Off
Sets whether to prohibit the internal memory from being written to (overwritten).
Note: When this is on, you can’t overwrite the KITs, INSTs or SAMPLEs. You can use the looper, but you can’t use the Write function to write any data.
Note: You can save data in UTILITY mode (including looper setup and set list data) even when Memory Protect is “ON”.
Auto Power Off Disable, 30 Minutes, 4 Hours
Sets whether the auto power-off function is enabled or disabled.
When the auto power-off function is enabled, the power automatically turns off when a certain length of time has elapsed since the pads were played or the unit was operated. (The default setting is “4hours”.)
Use the dial if you wish to change this to a different setting.
Note: The auto power-off count will be canceled under any of the following conditions:
When the panel is operated, a pad is triggered, the looper or a recorded SAMPLE is played back, the metronome is used, SysEx data is received via USB MIDI, or when an import/export is executed that includes SAMPLE data.
This screen lets you configure the trigger settings for each of the 15 pads built into the MPS-10.
PAD# 1...10 / A,B,C,D / Pedal
Specifies the number of the pad for which you want to configure the trigger settings.
Note: You can change the pad number by striking the pads.
Sensitivity 0...100
Adjusts the trigger sensitivity.
Threshold 0...100
Adjusts the minimum striking force required to make the pad react. This has no effect on the pedal.
Retrigger 0...100
This makes adjustments to improve retriggering.
Note: Increase the retriggering value to avoid pads sounding two notes when played only once. Note that this will make the pad less able to detect drum rolls. When you lower this value, you will be able to play intricate flams, but the pad will be more likely to sound twice with one stroke.
XTalk Cancel On, Off
You can configure the MPS-10 to cancel out the resonance from other pads when a pad sounds.
Turn this on to reduce resonance. This is enabled when used with external triggers (A–D).
Note: When this is set to “On,” striking two pads at the same time may be considered as resonance, and the sound from one of the pads may not be heard as a result. If this happens, turn the setting off and check again.
Use this screen to edit the parameters related to audio input/output.
Tip: There are three “Audio In & Out” settings: “Input”, “Output” and “Out Routing”. Use the METRONOME knob to switch between setting pages.

Line Out Gain -6dB, 0dB, +6dB, 12dB
Adjusts the volume of signal that’s output from MAIN OUT and SUB OUT.
Note: The -6dB setting outputs at around half volume, the +6dB setting is around twice the volume, and the +12dB is around four times the volume. Note that the signal tends to clip when you raise the volume too far.
Out Routing
Use this screen to set the output destination for each pad, IFX 1, 2, the loop, metronome, AUX In and USB In.
Use the VALUE knob to select the output source, and press the ENTER button to toggle between “Main”, “Sub”, “Off” and “Main” settings.
Note: When Metronome, AUX In and USB In are set to “Off”, nothing is output from MAIN OUT or SUB OUT, but signal is output from PHONES.

To save the UTILITY settings you’ve edited, you must write them.
Tip: The looper edit parameters are also UTILITY parameters, so you can save them as well by writing the utility parameters.
When you press the WRITE button on a page in UTILITY for which no message is shown, a message is shown for saving all the UTILITY settings to the MPS-10.
The settings you save here will be the default UTILITY settings the next time you turn on the power, so make sure to save them before turning off the power.
Tip: The data that’s saved includes Setup, LOOPER, SET LIST and Function Assign.
Tip: You can save the UTILITY settings even when Memory Protect is “ON”.
