Operation
This chapter explains the complete features and functions of your MPC hardware.
Important :
•
When accessing the secondary functions of buttons on your MPC hardware, you can do this one of
two ways: (
1 ) pressing and holding Shift and then pressing the desired button or ( 2 ) double-pressing
the desired button. This manual describes these operations using only the first option, but both are
acceptable.
•
When the left-most button at the bottom of the screen shows an upward arrow ( © ), it means there are
additional buttons you can use when you press and hold
Shift
. Press and hold
Shift
to show the
secondary buttons, and any of them, if desired. Release
Shift
to return to the previous buttons.
• Almost every mode shown on the screen has 1–6 buttons at the bottom. Each of these buttons select
a different tab in that mode or perform a specific function in that mode.
• MPC X : You can press the F-Key button to activate or deactivate the F-Key feature. When active, the
six buttons under the touchscreen correspond to the options shown at its bottom edge. The F-Key
button and those six buttons will be lit
red
when active. When inactive, the six buttons under the
touchscreen will access their normal modes instead (

and Looper ).
•
MPC X : As an alternative to tapping a control on the screen to select it, you can use the cursors to
navigate through the controls on the screen. The center cursor acts as an Enter key.
• MPC Live, MPC Touch
: As an alternative to double-tapping an item on the screen to “enter” it, you
can press the
data dial
.
•
When a parameter is highlighted and has a red outline, this means that it is selected. You can then
change it by turning the hardware’s
data dial or using the – / + buttons. If the parameter is a number,
double-tap it to show a numeric keypad on the screen to enter a specific value, or use the numeric
keypad
(MPC X).
• MPC Live, MPC Touch : When the touchscreen shows a parameter or group of parameters with a
gold outline (and sometimes a Q in the corner), this means that the current bank of Q-Link knobs
will control those parameters or settings. Turn a Q-Link knob to adjust its corresponding parameter
value or setting in that group. When the value has decimal places, you can sometimes press and hold
Shift and then turn the Q-Link knob to adjust the value by smaller increments. You can also press
the Q-Link button to select another group of four parameters.
•
Press and hold the any of the Q-Link buttons ( Project , Program , Pad Scene , Pad Param , or Screen
Control
/
Edit
: MPC X) or the
Q-Link
button (MPC Live, MPC Touch) to see an overview of all 16
Q-Link
knobs
and their parameters in the
QLinks
window that appears. You can then tap a column or row of
knobs to select those four Q-Link knobs, and then release the Q-Link button. See Modes > Q-Link
Edit Mode to learn more about using the Q-Link knobs throughout your project.
