Pad Section - Akai MPC User Manual

Pad Section

You can use the pads to play certain parts of the selected sample,
regardless of the selected Pad Bank.
Trigger the following playback options by pressing the corresponding
pad:
•
Play Loop (Pad 13) plays the sample repeatedly from the loop
point to the end point.
•
Play Loop Continuous (Pad 16) plays the sample as a
continuous loop. You can adjust the start point and end point
while it plays.
•
Play Sample (One-Shot) (Pad 10) will play the whole sample as it
has been edited. Pressing the pad once will play the entire sample.
•
Play Sample (Note On) (Pad 11) will play the whole sample as it
has been edited. Pressing the pad and holding it will play the part; releasing it will stop playback.
You can also click the Waveform Display to activate this function.
•
Play All (Pad 9) plays the whole sample regardless of any edits.
•
Play To Loop Start (Pad 14) plays the sample portion before the loop point.
•
Play From Loop Start (Pad 15) plays the sample from the loop start point to the end of the sample
regardless of the end point. If the loop start point is identical to the end point, nothing will be played.
Pads 01-04 have the same respective functions as Pads 05-08, but Pads 01-04 play the sample part
as "One Shots" (pressing the pad once will play the entire part) while Pads 05-08 play the sample part
as "Note Ons" (pressing the pad and holding it will play the part; releasing it will stop playback):
•
Play From Start (Pad 01 and Pad 05) plays the sample from the start point to the end of the sample
regardless of the end point. If the start point is identical to the end point, nothing will be played.
•
Play To Start (Pad 02 and Pad 06) plays the sample portion before the start point. If the start point
is set to 0, nothing will be played.
•
Play To End (Pad 03 and Pad 07) plays the sample portion from the start point to the end point.
•
Play From End (Pad 04 and Pad 08) plays the sample part from the end point to the end of the
sample. If the end point is identical to the end of the sample, nothing will be played.
