Drum Programs
A drum program uses one or more samples as its sound source. It contains ( 1 ) a list of samples and ( 2 ) the settings
for each sample (i.e., pad assignments, loop points, pitch tuning, effects, etc.). Drum programs are used mostly for
creating drum parts and quickly and easily assigning samples to pads.
To create a drum program :
1. Press
Main
to enter Main Mode.
2. Next to the Track field, tap the four-squares icon , which indicates a drum
program.
3. If the project does not contain a drum program yet, a new drum program
(named
Program , appended with a number) will be added automatically to
the project and appear in the Program field below.
If the project already contains a drum program, the first one will be selected
automatically and appear in the
Program field below.
To create another drum program , tap the + icon above the Program field.
A new drum program will be created and appended with a number (e.g.,
Program 002 ).
To rename the program
, tap the
cursor icon
on the right edge of the
Program
section. Use the virtual keyboard that appears to enter a new name, and then
tap
Do It to confirm or the gray bar at the top of the screen to cancel.
To load a sample into a drum program :
1. Press
Browse
(MPC X) or
Shift
+
Menu
/
Browse
(MPC Live, MPC Touch) to show the Browser. Find and select a
sample, and then tap Load to load it to the program. Repeat this for any other samples you want to load into the
project. (See Modes > Browser to learn more about using the Browser specifically.)
2. Tap
Sample Assign
to view the pads and project’s sample pool.
3. Press or tap a pad to select it. The pad will be lit green.
4. In the
Sample Pool
list, tap a sample to assign it to the pad. Alternatively, use the
data dial
or
–
/
+
buttons to
assign a sample and/or change the assigned sample.
To clear the assigned sample from a selected pad , tap Clear Pad .
To assign samples to additional pads
, repeat Steps 3–4.
Tip : Remember that a drum program has 128 pads total—16 pads across eight banks.
