Updates in MPC 2.3

New Features

Arpeggiator

MPC now includes a full-featured arpeggiator and phrase player for melodic program types.
To open the Arpeggiator settings:
1. Set the current track type to Plugin, Keygroup, MIDI, or CV.
2. Open the Arpeggiator window by doing either of the following:
• Press and hold the Note Repeat button, then tap Arp at the bottom-right of the screen.
• Alternatively, press the Arpeggiator F-Key (MPC X).
To activate the Arpeggiator, tap Enable so it is checked.
Tap again to Disable the Arpeggiator.
To latch the Arpeggiator, tap Latch so it is checked. Tap
again to Disable Latch.
The Setup section of the Arpeggiator window sets what
kind of arpeggiator will be used and its functions:
Use the Action field to set the type: Arp, Note
Repeat, Rhythm and Pattern. See
details about these types and their additional
parameters.
Use the Step Size field to set the note value of each
arpeggiator step from 1/1–1/64 beats, including T
(triplet) variations. This field is not used in Pattern
mode.
Use the Note Length slider to set the length of the
played note in each step, from 1–100%.
Use the Velocity field to set the velocity of the
arpeggiator notes. Choose As played, From first
note, Accented, Full, 3/4, Half or 1/4.
Use the Swing field to set the amount of swing in the
arpeggiator from 50% to 75%. Swing lets you
"shuffle" your beats—from subtle to extreme.
The Arp mode section of the Arpeggiator window is
available when the Action is set to Arp. When this action
is selected, hold down a chord and the arpeggiator will
play a pattern based on the notes held.
Use the Pattern field to set how the arpeggiator
triggers the held notes.
Use the Octaves field to set how many octaves of the
held notes the arpeggiator will cycle through.
Use the Variation field to apply rhythmic variation to
the set pattern.
