Quick Start
Starting Up
1.
Power on your computer, and make sure the MPC hardware driver and software are both properly
installed on your computer.
2.
Connect your MPC hardware to your computer with a standard USB cable. After that, open the MPC
software.
Now, you're ready to go!
Recording a Drum Sequence
First, let's set up a Program so we can record a drum Sequence:
1.
Make sure the
Sequence
Section in the lower half of the window shows the Program
Type
as
Drum
and the
Program
as
Program 001
(this is the default when you open MPC Essentials).
2.
In the
Project Information
Section on the right, right-click the new Program (
Program 001
) and
enter a name (e.g.,
Drums
).
Now, let's load some drum sounds:
1.
Click the File Browser's drop-down
menu for an overview of your hard disk
structure and select a location. Double-
click any displayed folder in the File Browser to open it.
2.
Locate and select a drum sample. Click the
Preview
button to preview any selected audio
sample. Let's load a bass drum first.
3.
Click and drag a sample onto the desired pad to assign it to the pad (this will also automatically add
the sample to the Project). To keep things simple, let's load it to
Pad A01
. Now, you can press Pad 1
to play the bass drum sample.
4.
To create a simple drum set, repeat the above steps for other pads. We recommend loading a snare
drum, a closed hi-hat, and an open hi-hat. Feel free to add a crash cymbal, too.
