I just got my MPC X and i love it already. But the screen seems pretty dark.
I haven't been able to find a way to adjust the screen brightness.
Anyone knows if this is possible?
Thanks

I can’t stand that kind of response. Very arrogant and rude. We all need guidance from time to time.
Menu above the pads, cog ⚙️ icon next to sync at top of screen. Then hardware on the left and then scroll the screen on the right down (not clear at all that part goes up and down)
Then you will find it.

I guess this posts highlights the need to avoid referencing specific page numbers of a manual, because anyone reading this 5 years later is likely to discover that page 45 is now talking about something completely different. I know stackexchange specifically disallows this, you have to at least post up a copy of the text you are referencing.

To Lee Jones: I agree, generally the answers in this topic were too vague or flippant.

I do feel there are times when people really do need to be reminded that there is a chunky, searchable PDF manual for all the basic stuff, and a huge database of existing Q&As here. For example a search of the PDF manual for the term 'brightness' would have answered the question instantly. It's easy to just spoonfeed answers to basic questions, but I think it's worth explaining the methods they could use to find that answer themselves. Just not in a rude way!

It’s one of the reasons I include the manual version, page number AND that I am using mpc x when I sometimes reference the manual. Not all vers manuals pages have matching info.
