In this guide, we will walk through the steps to restore your MPK mini's factory presets. This will be useful if you are looking for a way to 'factory reset' the keyboard.
In this demonstration, we will be using an MPK mini Plus - but the same steps apply for the MPK mini MK3 and MPK mini Play MK3.
Please note: The original MPK Mini Play does not include factory presets.
Important: Please ensure that you have fully closed down all Music making or MIDI applications before opening and making changes in the MPK Mini editor as other applications may be trying to take MIDI priority of the MPK Mini which will cause issues when saving changes from the editor to your MPK Mini.
