Creating a Drum Kit

Let's start by making a simple drum kit.

The Browser display of the MPC hardware

Hardware:

1. Press the Browser button and use Cursor Buttons to navigate to where your drum sounds are

located:

• Use the Up or Down Cursor Buttons to move through a list

• Use the Right Cursor Button to enter a selected folder,

• Use the Left Cursor Button to go to the previous folder.

2. To preview a selected sound, press the F3 button (Play). You can also activate the Auto Preview

option with the F2 button (Auto).

3. First, let's load a bass drum. Hit Pad 1 to select it. The pad will be lit in green. Navigate to a bass

drum sample you like and press F6 (Open) to assign it to the selected pad. Now, you can press Pad

1 to play the bass drum sample.

4. To create a simple drum set, repeat the above steps for other pads. We recommend loading a snare

drum, a closed hi-hat, and an open hi-hat. Feel free to add a crash cymbal, too.

Now that your drum kit is set up, you can record a drum Sequence!
