Transport Section

The Transport Section contains various transport controls (for playback and recording) as well as bar and

tempo displays, the master level, and a CPU meter. This section is always visible.

The CPU meter shows the computer CPU usage of the actual project. Keep in mind that an

excessive use of synthesis functions such as filter and effects will increase the CPU usage.

Tip: If the CPU meter is very high, software response may slow down. Triple-clicking the Stop

button (in this Transport Section or on your MPC hardware) will send a "MIDI panic" message.

This will halt all messages the software is currently sending, and you can resume normal

operation.

With the Metronome dial, you can set the volume of your metronome click.

In the software, next to the Metronome dial, click On to activate or deactivate the

metronome. It will light up red when active. Read more about the metronome in the

Click/Metro Menu section of the Software Menus chapter.

Hardware: Press the Main button and press F2 to enter the Click menu. Use the Cursor Buttons to

navigate to the Metronome field. Use the Data Dial or the -/+ buttons to select the desired metronome

setting. You can switch between Off, Play, Record, and Record + Play (for more information about these

settings, see the Click/Metro Menu section of the Software Menus chapter).

The bar and tempo display shows the actual position in bars, beats, and ticks.

Hardware: To navigate to a particular position in a Sequence, you can use the

< / > buttons to move one step at a time within a bar, or use the << / >> buttons

to move one bar at a time. You can also press the Main button and use the Cursor Buttons to move

between the bars, beats, and ticks values in the Now field (at the top of the display) and use the Data

Dial or the -/+ buttons to change the value. You can also use the numeric buttons to enter a desired value

and confirm it by pressing Enter.
