5.6 PROGRAM EDIT MODE

Program Edit Mode contains all parameters for editing each layer of a sound program as well as
all synthesis parameters and the insert effect settings. If a virtual instrument (PlugIn) or a MIDI
instrument is selected, Program Edit Mode will look different.
When working with the MPC Renaissance, you will recognize that all parameters of Program
Edit Mode are arranged in a grid with up to 16 parameters. These parameters correspond to
the 16 Q-Link knobs of the MPC Renaissance and are fast and intuitive to use.
The MPC Studio is equipped with 4 Q-Link knobs which can be assigned to the corresponding
Q-Link knob column with the SCROLL dial above the Q-Link knobs.
To enter Program Edit, press the PROG EDIT button on your MPC hardware.
In the MPC software, click on the Program Edit tab in the Upper section.
The appearance of Program Edit Mode may vary, depending on the selected program. If you have
created a DRUM program, there are fewer parameters than for a KEYGROUP program. To
familiarize yourself with DRUM and KEYGROUP Programs, please refer to Chapter 5.0.
To edit the play and sound parameters of a particular pad in a DRUM program, you can simply
select it by striking the corresponding pad of your MPC hardware. Use the PAD BANK buttons
to select a desired bank. The program settings will change automatically in the display of your
MPC hardware. This procedure is not possible for KEYGROUP programs.
To select a DRUM program for editing in the MPC software, you have to select the desired pad
first in Main Mode.
