Incr (Increment)
When recording in STEP EDIT mode the MPC500 can automatically update the sequence according to the setting of the timing correct
when it receives a pad event or a note event.
Auto
When new pad/note event is recorded in STEP EDIT mode, the sequence time is advanced by the value set in Timing correct value
automatically.
Manual
The Auto step increment function is off.
Dura (Duration)
Settings for the duration of recorded pad/note event in STEP EDIT mode.
As Played
The event is recorded with the duration that you actually played.
Tc%
The duration of recorded event depends on Timing correct value. When TC% is selected, extra field is displayed. You can adjust the
duration with percent of Timing correct value. Value: 1...100
Step Recording
In STEP EDIT mode, when you hit a pad, or when the MPC500 receives MIDI data from an external device, you can record the event in the
current time position (the time displayed in the 'Now' field). Move the event to the desired time position by using the Move function and
you can add events to the desired time position one by one. This method, recording each event individually when MPC500 is in the stop
mode, is called step recording.
1. In STEP EDIT mode, select Step on 'Parameter' field
