Addendum For Mpc V1.8 - Akai MPC User Manual

Addendum for MPC v1.8

This chapter is an addendum that explains new features and improvements in MPC v1.8. We also
updated certain sections of the earlier pages of the User Guide to correct previous errors.
Some of the most important new features include how MPC handles sample recording, editing, and
playback. Please read through this section for a brief overview of how this works.
MPC 1.8 greatly expands your sample editing capabilities with two versions of non-destructive slices:
non-destructive chop slices and pad slices:
•
Non-Destructive Chop Slices: In MPC, these slices are regions of an audio file. Once you add
some slice markers to a sample in Chop Mode (in Sample Edit Mode) and save your Project, those
slice markers are saved into the Project's sample. You can use that sample in any other MPC
Project and the sample will retain those slices.
You can assign slices to multiple Drum Programs. If you change its slice markers, it will affect any
pad that is set to play the corresponding slice. Above, changing Slice 2's start point, end point, or
loop point will affect both Drum Programs as both of them have a pad assigned to play Slice 2.
