LOADING SAMPLES DIRECTLY IN THE GRID AND BATCH-LOADING
You can now load samples directly onto a pad (row) on the grid to load it to that pad.
To do this, click and drag a sample from the Browser, Project Information panel, or even from
your computer's Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) directly onto the pad number to the left of the
grid.
You can also load an entire folder of samples into a Program by dragging the folder onto a pad
(row) on the grid or onto one of the 16 pads below the grid. Each sample will be assigned to a pad
in alphabetical order, starting from the destination pad and ascending from there, one sample per
pad.
To do this, click and drag a folder containing samples from the Browser, Project Information
panel, or even from your computer's Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) directly onto the pad
number to the left of the grid or onto one of the 16 pads below the grid.
DUPLICATING NOTE EVENTS
You can now duplicate note events by selecting them on the grid and then pressing Ctrl + D
(Windows) or Command + D (Mac). The selected note events will be automatically copied and
pasted, starting from the step just after the last selected note event. You can do this in all modes
except for Song Mode, Next Sequence Mode, Sample Record Mode, Sample Edit Mode, and
Track Mute Mode.
DELETING UNUSED SAMPLES FROM A PROJECT
You can now delete any unused samples from a Project. To do this, click the Edit menu and
select Delete Unused Samples. Any sample that is not assigned to a pad will be deleted from the
Project.
The samples will be deleted immediately from the project. The software will not ask for
confirmation or allow you to cancel, but you can undo this action (i.e., with the Undo command
or hardware button), if needed.
CONTROLLING PRO TOOLS TRANSPORT
You can use your hardware transport buttons to send MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages
from the MPC plugin to a host DAW running on your computer (e.g., using your MPC Studio
transport buttons to control transport in Pro Tools).
To set this up, click the Help menu in the MPC software, and select Set Up MMC Control. A PDF
will open with instructions for setting it up with select host DAWs.
