Akai MPC Reference Manual page 91

The Other section in the display of the MPC hardware
Pad Curve determines how your playing is translated into velocity values, for example, starting
from value A (a soft touch is enough to create a big velocity value) up to D (you have to hit the
pad really hard for a high velocity value).
With Footswitch 1 and 2, you can select the functionality of a connected footswitch to your MPC
hardware. You can either select transport commands (e.g. PLAY; REC+PLAY) or trigger
commands for pads and the F(unction) buttons.
Click on the Show Hardware Info button to open a window with information (firmware version,
driver, etc.) about your connected MPC hardware.
With Program Change, you can define what an incoming MIDI Program Change will change. You
can choose between switching a Program, Sequence, or Track.
In Vintage Mode pop-up menu you can toggle between the different audio quality emulations.
You can choose to emulate the particular sonic qualities of, for example, the MPC3000 or MPC60,
or of course no emulation (None).
