Program Types
About Programs
A Program is a file that contains (1) a list of all samples used and (2) the
settings for each sample (i.e., pad assignments, loop points, pitch tuning,
effects, etc.) Program Edit Mode lets you edit and assign samples. A single
Project can hold a total of 128 Programs.
There are two kinds of Programs that use samples as their sound source:
Drum Programs (used mostly for creating drum parts and quickly and easily
assigning samples to pads) and Keygroup Programs (in which you can
assign one or more samples to one or more keys and play them chromatically
with a MIDI keyboard or the MPC hardware pads). Two other kinds of
Programs use MIDI data only: Plugin Programs and MIDI Programs. This
section covers how to create each Program type. To learn about editing your
Programs to your preference, see the Program Edit Mode chapter.
Drum Program
To create a Drum Program in the software:
1. Click the Main Mode tab to enter Main Mode.
2. In the Sequence Section, click the Type drop-down menu and select
Drum.
3. If the Project does not contain a Drum Program yet, a new Drum
Program will automatically be added to the Project.
If the Project already contains a Drum Program, click the + button next
to the Program drop-down menu.
4. Click the name in the Program drop-down menu, and enter an
appropriate Program name.
