• Preferences: Auto Load/Save Tab
o Auto Load File: Click the ... button to
select a Project (.xpj) or Program (.xpm)
on your hard disk to load automatically
anytime the software opens.
Tip: You can "bypass" or ignore the
template by opening the MPC software
while holding down your computer's Shift
key. This will open an empty Project
instead of your selected Auto Load file.
o Template File: Click the ... button to select a Sequence template to load automatically anytime
you create a new Sequence.
o Auto Save: Click the Enabled box to turn Auto-Save on or off. Auto-Save sets the software to
save your Project at regular intervals. Click the Timeout drop-down menu to select the interval.
• Preferences: Sequencer Tab
Here, you can activate or deactivate options
related to the software's sequencer.
o Instant Track Mute: If this option is
disabled, Note On messages will be
ignored. This is how legacy MPCs' track-
muting worked. This allows samples and
notes that are playing to finish playing
their entire length. This is useful if you are
using loops and want to a loop to play to
the end of a bar but not play the next time the Sequence loops.
If this option is enabled, MIDI track volume is sent. This is useful when you want to have the
Track muted immediately. The loop will continue to play but at zero volume, allowing the loop to
continue playing when the Track is unmuted.
o Record Track Mute Events: If this option is enabled, Track Mute events are recorded only
when you are in Track Mute Mode. Timing Correct settings will affect the recorded position of
Track Mute events.
o Play Track Mute Events: If this option is enabled, Track Mute events are played back only
when you are in Track Mute Mode.
