Akai MPC TOUCH User Manual page 35

To load and edit a bass sound, let's use the software window instead of MPC Touch:
1. If the Browser panel is not visible on the left side of the window, click the triangle ( ) in the lower-left
corner to show it.
2. In the Browser, locate and select a bass sample.
3. Double-click a sample to add it to the project. Keep in mind that the sample isn't assigned to a pad yet.
Let's continue to set up the keygroup program:
1. Click the Program Edit icon in the upper-left corner of the window to enter Program Edit Mode.
Alternatively, press Ctrl+2 (Windows) or
2. In the Layer section, click the Layer 1 drop-down menu and
select the bass sample you just loaded (you'll see your drum
samples in this list, as well). Because you're working with a
keygroup program instead of a drum Program, this sample is
now playable across all pads.
Tip: On your MPC Touch, press the Pad Bank D button to switch to Pad Bank D and press Pad 13.
You should hear the bass sample played back with its original pitch. You can use the other pads to
play your sample chromatically.
