The Settings window lets you configure certain Grid View settings.
To view the Settings, tap the gear icon.
Use the Snap Mode selector to set how events “snap” to the grid.
Absolute: Events will “snap” to the nearest time division on the grid (as determined by the TC field or Time
Correct window). This is the typical and traditional method of using the snap/quantization feature.
Relative: Events will “snap” to the nearest time division on the grid (as determined by the TC field or Time
Correct window) plus the original time position of the event (e.g., an event that is originally three ticks past a
time division on the grid will snap only to positions that are three ticks past every time division).
Use the Hitting Pad Selects All Events selector to turn the feature on or off. When on, pressing a pad will
automatically select all note events for that pad in the sequence on that track. When off, pressing a pad will simply
play its sound without selecting any note events.
Use the Auto-Scroll selector to set how the screen behaves relative to the audio playhead.
Follow: Depending on the zoom setting, the grid will scroll along in the background while keeping the audio
playhead centered.
Page: The grid will move to the “next page” to follow the audio playhead.
Off: The grid will not move at all.
These functions also apply to Audio Edit Mode, List Edit Mode, and Sample Edit Mode.
Use the Link Zoom and Scroll selector to turn the feature on or off. When on, the zoom and scroll levels in the MPC
software and your MPC hardware will always be the same. When off, the grid views can be adjusted separately using
the MPC software and your MPC hardware.
Note: This setting is only available when connected to MPC software in controller mode.
