Akai MPC User Manual page 83

Click and drag a note event to move it to another position (when multiple note events are selected, you
can move them all simultaneously). You can position note events only on quantization values defined by
the set Time Correct value (indicated by vertical lines in the grid), but if you hold down your keyboard's
Shift key while moving a note event, you can drag it to any position you like, regardless of the selected
Time Correct value.
Hold down Control (Windows) or  (Mac OS X) and move a note to duplicate it. You can also duplicate
note events by selecting them on the grid and then pressing Ctrl+D (Windows) or +D (Mac OS X). The
selected note events will be automatically copied and pasted, starting from the step just after the last
selected note event.
Use the copy-and-paste function to copy a note in the clipboard (Ctrl+C [Windows] or +C [Mac OS X])
and paste it automatically where the audio pointer is (Ctrl+V [Windows] or +V [Mac OS X]).
Tip: Press your MPC hardware's 16 Level button to activate/deactivate 16 Level. When activated, the
last pad that was pressed 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
press them. In the software, in the window that appears, click the Type menu to select the parameter:
Velocity, Tune, Filter, Layer, Attack, or Decay. You can change the pad by clicking the Pad drop-down
menu in the window that appears. Alternatively, you can press and hold the 16 Level button, press the
desired pad, and then release both.
