To edit the name of the track, tap the cursor icon on the right edge of the section and use the virtual keyboard that

While using a MIDI track:
The program selector indicates the type of program through which the track is being routed. The specific
program name is displayed below in the Program section. You can use the program selector to change program
type (and then select a specific program of that type in the Program section below it).
To select a drum program, tap the four-squares icon.
To select a keygroup program, tap the piano-keys icon.
To select a clip program, tap the play-button icon.
To select a MIDI program, tap the bars icon.
To select a CV program, tap the CV icon.
To select a plugin program, tap the plug icon. For MPC X and MPC Live, plugin programs are available
only in Controller Mode with the desktop version of the MPC software.
Use the Length field to set how long the track is in beats. If you select the minimum value, Seq or 0 (if you use
the numeric keypad), the track will be the exact same length as its sequence.
Tip: This feature lets you maintain tracks of different lengths. For instance, you could play a 1-bar drum sequence
repeatedly under a 4-bar bass line.
Use the Velocity field to set how loudly or quietly a track plays relative to its recorded levels. When set to 50%,
the track will be played with half the velocity it was originally played. When set to 200%, the track will play twice
as loud. The maximum velocity level is still 127, though.
Use the Transpose field to set the transposition (in semitones) of the entire track.
