Step Section

The Step section contains information about the current step in the
Sequence Playlist. Click and drag each field up or down to change its
setting.
•
First Bar indicates where in the Song the step begins.
•
Last Bar indicates where in the Song the step ends before moving
onto the next step.
•
Total Bars indicates how many bars the step occupies in the
Song (this accounts for how many times the step's Sequence
repeats).
•
Repeats indicates how many times the step's Sequence plays.
•
Time Sig indicates the Sequence's time signature.
•
BPM indicates the Sequence's tempo in beats per minute.
Hardware: When a Song is playing, the following buttons are available in the MPC hardware's display:
•
Press F2 (Sudden) to switch to the next Sequence before the software has finished playing back
the current Sequence. This is useful in live performances, if you need to switch to the next
Sequence at a certain cue.
•
Press F3 (Next) to jump to the next Sequence at the end of the current Sequence. These buttons
can be also used in conjunction with Hold to get the MPC out of a Hold Sequence.
