Software Menus; File Menu - Akai MPC User Manual

Software Menus

Some of the software's menu items let you access features that cannot be accessed with the MPC
hardware.
Important:
•
The software menu organization differs between Windows and Mac OS X operating
systems.
•
When loaded as plugin, the Menu button is the arrow icon located to the left of the Main
Mode tab.

File Menu

New Project creates an empty Project. Use this command when you want to start a Project from
scratch.
New From Template loads a user-defined Project template. We recommend creating a Project with the
basic settings that suit your needs and saving it as a Project template for easy access. See
Menus > Edit Menu > Preferences: Auto Load/Save Tab
Tip: You can "bypass" or ignore the template by opening the MPC software while holding down your
computer's Shift key. This will open an empty Project instead of your selected Auto Load file.
Load Recent provides shortcuts to the last five files you have been recently working with. The list is
chronological with the most recent file at the top.
Save Project saves the current Project. In the window that appears, name your Project and select a
save location. The samples in the Project Information will be automatically saved with the Project. The
Project file (.xpj), and its information (samples, MIDI files, Program files, etc.) will be saved in a folder
with the same name on the same folder level.
Save Project As is identical to the Save Project function but lets you save the current Project with a
new name.
