Sequence Playlist - Akai MPC User Manual

Sequence Playlist

The Sequence Playlist Section (to the left of the pads in the
software) is the list of the steps of a Sequence.
Each step in a Song has:
•
an assigned Sequence
•
the tempo of the Sequence
•
the number of bars in the Sequence
•
how many times the Sequence plays
You can add a Sequence to the Sequence Playlist by clicking and dragging from a pad and dropping it
onto the list. You can also click and drag Sequences from the pads and drop them onto the workspace
in the upper half of the window, if you prefer working in a horizontal arrangement.
You can insert Sequences between existing Sequences, or you can replace Sequences by dragging a
Sequence directly over another.
The information for each step of a Sequence is shown in five columns:
•
Step: Which "step" of the Song it is. Each Song can contain up to 999 steps.
•
Sequence: The name of the Song's Sequences. Click a Sequence to open a drop-down menu
where you can select which Sequence should be in that step.
•
Rpts (Repeats): How many times a Sequence will be played. Normally, a Sequence is played only
once, but you make it replay up to 999 times. Click the field and drag it up or down to change the
number. If you set it to Hld (Hold, the lowest/"minimum" value), the Sequence keep playing until
you stop playback.
•
BPM: The tempo of a Sequence in beats per minute.
•
Bars: The bar length of a Sequence.
