1. Display: This full-color multi-touch display shows information relevant to MPC Live II's current
operation. Touch the display (and use the hardware controls) to control the MPC interface. See
Operation
to learn how to use some basic functions.
2. Data Dial: Use this dial to scroll through the available menu options or adjust the parameter
values of the selected field in the display. Pressing the dial also functions as an Enter button.
3. Q-Link Knobs: Use these touch-sensitive knobs to adjust various parameters and settings. The
knobs can control one column of parameters at a time. The lights above the Q-Link Knobs
indicate the currently selected column. Press the Q-Link button above them to change which
column of parameters they currently control.
4. Q-Link Button: Press this button to change which column of parameters the Q-Link Knobs
currently control (indicated by the lights above the Q-Link Knobs). Each press will select the next
column.
Press and hold Shift and then press this button to select the previous column instead.
5. Pads: Use these pads to trigger drum hits or other samples. The pads are velocity-sensitive and
pressure-sensitive, which makes them very responsive and intuitive to play. The pads will light
up different colors, depending on how hard you play them (ranging from yellow at a low velocity
to red at the highest velocity). You can also customize their colors.
6. Pad Bank Buttons: Press any of these buttons to access Pad Banks A–D. Press and hold Shift
while pressing any of these buttons to access Pad Banks E–H. Alternatively, double-press one of
these buttons.
7. Note Repeat / Latch: Press and hold this button, and then press a pad to trigger that pad's
sample repeatedly. The rate is based on the current tempo and Time Correct settings.
Press and hold Shift and then press this button to "latch" the Note Repeat feature. When latched,
you do not have to hold the Note Repeat button for it to be activated. Press Note Repeat once
more to unlatch it.
