MPC SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

This is just a broad overview of the MPC software's features. Virtually all of the software elements can be

accessed and controlled by MPC Studio. Please also refer to the in-depth Reference Manual (in the Help

menu). The Reference Manual contains a quick tutorial on how to get started making a song so you can use

MPC's features right away – and more detailed information for experienced users.

• Menu: The software's menus.

• Tabs: Click these tabs to view the different parts of the software (e.g., Program Edit, Program Mixer,

Track Mixer, etc.).

• Browser: The software's file browser. From here, you can load files by clicking and dragging with your

mouse or by using the MPC Studio's controls.

• Workspace: The main area where you build and edit the different parts of your Project. Depending on

what tab is selected, the Workspace will show the Sequence Grid, the Track Grid, a Song, or a sample

waveform.

• Parameter Controls: This area below the Workspace contains the parameter controls for the current tab.

Depending on what tab is selected, this space can show the Q-Link knob parameters, the pads their

banks and samples, pad layers and their tuning, mixer controls for the Program or Tracks, etc.

• Time/Tempo: The current time and tempo information.

• Transport: Controls related to playback and recording, identical to the MPC Studio's transport controls.

• Master Level: The software's master output level and volume meter. Note that this level is independent of

(and comes before) the MPC Studio's MAIN VOLUME knob.
