Sample Play determines how much of the sample is played:

• One-Shot: The entire sample will play from start to end. Use this when you want to play short

sounds.

• Note-On: The sample will play only as long as the pad is held. This is better for longer samples so

you can control a sound's duration by pressing and holding its corresponding pad.

Key Group Section (Keygroup Program Only)

Here, you can set additional Keygroup Program parameters.

Tips:

• The loaded sample's root key will determine where the original

pitch is located. For example, if the root key is C3, the original

sample is located at Pad D13.

• In a Keygroup Program, you can also use the pads on your MPC

hardware to play samples assigned to Keygroups. The 128 pads (A01 to H16) correspond to MIDI

notes from from note number 0 to 127, allowing you to easily play a melody with a single sample

over a wide range.

KG Select (Keygroup Select) lets you select a specific Keygroup for editing. This parameter works in

conjunction with the No. KG (Numbers of Keygroups) parameter in the Edit Layers section, which lets

you create up to 128 Keygroups within one Keygroup Program. A default Keygroup Program contains

only one single Keygroup. When you have created more than one Keygroup with No. KG, use KG Select

to select any Keygroup for editing. All selects all available Keygroups of a Keygroup Program for

simultaneous editing.

Keytrack allows you to switch a sample's automatic transposition on or off. If this is off, you will always

hear the same pitch of the sample, no matter which note is triggered by pads or a connected MIDI

keyboard.

Level controls the overall volume level of the loaded sample(s).

Pan controls the overall panning of the loaded sample(s) in the stereo field.
