MASTER SECTION
X To edit the Master section, press the F1 button on your MPC
hardware. Use the Q13, Q14, and Q15 Q-Link knobs for direct
access of all Master section parameters. Keep in mind that a
DRUM program offers fewer parameters than a KEYGROUP
program.
In the Master section, you can select MONO or POLY mode. In MONO mode, only one pad will
sound at a time. If a pad sounds while another or the same one is still sounding, the new
sample(s) will immediately cut the sample(s) that are playing. In POLY mode, several sounds can
be triggered at the same time (limited only by the total number of voices available).
SEMI lets you transpose the selected program 12 semitones up or down, while FINE provides
fine-tuning of the Program by fractions of a semitone up or down. TRANS (only available for
Keygroup Programs) transposes incoming notes; it does not change the pitch of a sample.
SIMULTANEOUS PLAY (Drum Programs only)
This function allows you to define up to four pads that are triggered
by hitting one pad only.
X To select the pads for SIMULTANEOUS PLAY, press the F1 button (Master) on your MPC
hardware. Use Q-Link knobs Q5 – Q8 to select the corresponding pads. Keep in mind that this
function is only available in DRUM programs.
Use this function to trigger a stack of sounds (e.g., layered bass drums).
MUTE TARGET (Drum Program only)
The MUTE TARGET function works similarly to the MUTE
GROUP function, which is explained below. The main difference
is that Mute Target can be set to work only in one direction.
X To select the MUTE TARGET pads, press the F1 button (Master) on your MPC hardware.
Use Q-Link knobs Q1 – Q4 for selecting the corresponding pads. Keep in mind that this
function is only available in DRUM programs.
For example, you can use Mute Target to have Pad A02 muted by Pad A01. The advantage of
this is that when Pad A01 is played, Pad A02 will be muted. You can set a maximum of four mute
targets per pad.
