Semi lets you transpose the selected layer 12 up to semitones up or down.

Fine provides fine-tuning of each layer by fractions of a semitone.

Level lets you adjust the each layer's volume, letting you control the "balance" of the samples assigned to

the pad.

Pan adjusts the stereo placement of the respective layer.

Velocity defines the velocity range of each layer. Set the values by doing one of the following:

• In the software, click in the segment chain on the right side of the Layer area and drag its left

and right ends to the desired values.

• On your MPC hardware, press the F3 button and changed the displayed values with the Data

Dial or -/+ buttons.

A range from 0 to 127 lets the layer respond to the entire velocity range which is input from the respective

pad while, for example, a range from 100 to 127 lets the layer respond only to higher velocity levels. By

assigning several samples of one instrument, you can create a realistic-sounding "multi-sample" by

adjusting the velocity ranges of each layer accordingly. (For example, you may have three samples of a

drum hit with low force, medium force, and high force. You can set each sample to a layer and set the

Velocity ranges so only low velocities trigger the low-force sample, only mid-range velocities trigger the

medium-force sample, and only high velocities trigger the high-force sample.)

Root Note (available for Keygroup Programs only), you can set the root key of each loaded sample.

The virtual keyboard (available for Keygroup Programs only) shows the Note Range, which can be set in

the Key Group section. You can also drag the left or right range with your computer mouse.

Click the red bar above the virtual keyboard to set the overall key range for the selected Keygroups.
