Sample Edit Mode - Akai MPC User Manual

Sample Edit Mode

Sample Edit Mode lets you edit samples using various functions.
In the software, click the Sample Edit tab in the Mode Tab Section.
To select a sample to edit, click the Edit Sample drop-down menu in the left section below the waveform
display and select a sample from the Project.
Alternatively, you can click and drag a sample from the Project Information section onto the Waveform
Display. You can also right-click a sample in the Project Information section and select Edit. (You can
select a sample this way in any mode that shows the Project Information section. When selecting a
sample for editing, the mode will change automatically to Sample Edit Mode.)
Hardware: To enter Sample Edit Mode, press the Sample Edit button. Use the Data Dial or the -/+
buttons to select a sample for editing. The selected sample is displayed at the top of the display.
The upper half of the window is the Waveform Display. The lower half contains the editing controls.
Sample Edit Mode can work in one of two ways: Trim Mode or Chop Mode. Most of this chapter
describes Trim Mode functions. Please refer to the Chop Mode part of the chapter to see how it differs.
