Akai MPC Essentials User Manual page 47

• Preferences: Other Tab
Here, you can set various other MIDI and
audio parameters.
o Tap Tempo: Click this drop-down menu
to set how many times you have to press
your MPC hardware's Tap Tempo button
until the new tempo is recognized.
o Filter 'All Notes Off' CC: Check this box
to filter out All Notes Off data. If you have
connected another device to your MPC hardware's MIDI In, checking this box will cause the
software to ignore "All Notes Off" ("MIDI panic") messages. That is, if a MIDI device sending
MIDI messages into the MPC hardware sends a MIDI panic message, the software will not stop
all notes and will continue as before (recording, for instance).
o Program Change: Click this drop-down menu to select what an incoming MIDI Program
Change message will change: a Program or Sequence.
o Sampling Bit Depth: Click this drop-down menu to set the bit depth of the audio recorded from
