9. Overdub: Press this button and simultaneously press Play or Play Start to
enable Overdub. This allows you to record note events in a Sequence without
overwriting any previously recorded note events. You can enable Overdub either
before or during recording.
10. Undo: Press this button to undo your last action.
11. Erase: As a Sequence is playing, hold this button down and press a pad to
delete the note event for that pad at the current playback position. This is a
quick way to delete note events from your Sequence without having to stop
playback.
12. Pads: Use these pads to trigger drum hits or other samples in your software.
The pads are velocity-sensitive and pressure-sensitive, which makes them very
responsive and intuitive to play. The pads will light up different colors,
depending on how hard you play them (ranging from yellow at a low velocity to
red at the highest velocity).
13. Full Level: Press this button to activate/deactivate Full Level. When activated,
the pads always play back at a maximum velocity (127), no matter how hard or
soft you hit them.
14. 16 Level: Press this button to activate/deactivate 16 Level. When activated, the
last pad that was hit will be temporarily copied to all 16 pads. The pads will now
output the same note number as the initial pad, but a selectable parameter will
be fixed at values that increase as the pad numbers increase (e.g., Pad 1 is the
minimum, Pad 16 is the maximum), regardless of how hard you hit them. The
available parameters are filter, velocity, length, and tuning.
15. Note Repeat: Hold this button down and press a pad to retrigger that pad's
sample at a rate based on the current Tempo and Time Correct settings. Vary
the pressure on the pad to increase or decrease the velocity of the notes being
played.
16. Tap Tempo: Press this button in time with the desired tempo to enter a new
tempo (in BPM) in the software.
17. Pad Bank: Press and hold down this button and then press a pad with a letter
(A – H) above it to select that Pad Bank. The pad representing the current bank
will be lit red while the others will be lit amber.
18. Track Up / Down: Use these buttons to move to the next or previous instance
of the MPC plugin in your host software.
19. Mute Track: Press this button to mute the currently selected instance of the
MPC plugin in your host software.
20. Solo Track: Press this button to solo the currently selected instance of the MPC
plugin in your host software.
