With the SAMPLE REC and STOP buttons, you can start and stop the recording procedure. Keep
in mind that when the Threshold parameter is set to a higher value, the recording will not start

recording to start. If you do not click on STOP, recording will continue to the end of the previously
set sample length.

cancel the procedure by clicking on F5 (Cancel) or

X When the recording procedure is finished, the MPC hardware’s display changes to a new
page. Here you can navigate to the Assign to Pad option and choose a pad for assigning.
Alternatively, you can hit the pad directly. Root Note sets the root note for the recorded
sample. Press F4 (Play) to playback the recorded sample. If you want to abort the recorded
sample, press F2 (Retry). If you want to save the recorded sample, press F5 (Keep).
