1. USB Port: Use the included USB cable to connect this USB port to an available USB port on your
computer. This connection allows MPC Element to send/receive MIDI data to/from the software.
2. MIDI In: Use the included 1/8"-MIDI adapter and a five-pin MIDI cable to connect the MIDI Out of an
optional external MIDI device to the MIDI In of MPC Element.
Important: Do NOT connect audio devices (e.g., headphones, monitors, etc.) to the 1/8" MIDI In or
MIDI Out jacks. Use the included 1/8"-MIDI adapters to connect MIDI devices only.
3. MIDI Out: Use the included 1/8"-MIDI adapter and a five-pin MIDI cable to connect the MIDI Out of
MPC Element to the MIDI In of an optional external device.
4. Main: Press this button to view the Main screen in the display and software.
5. Play: Press this button to play the Sequence from the audio pointer's current position.
6. Play Start: Press this button to play the Sequence from its start point.
7. Stop: Press this button to stop playback.
8. Rec: Press this button to record-arm the Sequence. Press Play or Play Start to start recording.
Recording in this way (rather than using Overdub) erases the events of the current Sequence. After
the Sequence plays through once while recording, Overdub will be enabled.
9. Overdub: Press this button and simultaneously press Play or Play Start to enable Overdub. This
allows you to record note events in a Sequence without overwriting any previously recorded note
events. You can enable Overdub either before or during recording.
10. Undo: Press this button to undo your last action.
11. Erase: As a Sequence is playing, hold this button down and press a pad to delete the note event for
that pad at the current playback position. This is a quick way to delete note events from your
Sequence without having to stop playback.
12. Pads: Use these pads to trigger drum hits or other samples in your software. The pads are velocity-
sensitive and pressure-sensitive, which makes them very responsive and intuitive to play. The pads
will light up different colors, depending on how hard you play them (ranging from yellow at a low
velocity to red at the highest velocity).
13. Full Level: Press this button to activate/deactivate Full Level. When activated, the pads always play
back at a maximum velocity (127), no matter how hard or soft you hit them.
