Project Information Section - Akai MPC Essentials User Manual

Sample Rec and Stop
Click Sample Rec to record-arm the software, or click Sample Stop to stop the
recording process.
After clicking Sample Rec, the recording will start once the incoming audio level
exceeds the Threshold parameter.
If you do not click Stop, recording will continue to the end of the previously set sample length.
When the recording is finished, a small window appears:
• If you want to keep the recorded sample, enter a name in the
New Name field.
• Click and drag the Assign to Pad field to select a pad to
assign the sample to.
• Click and drag the Root Note field to set where the sample's original pitch will be on the keyboard.
• To save the sample, click Keep. To delete the recording and try again, click Retry. To listen to the
sample before deciding, click Play.
Tip: We recommend editing your recorded sample in Sample Edit Mode.
