Use the type selector in the top-left to determine what will be mapped over the pads:
Chromatic: Each pad is assigned a note, ascending by one semitone with each pad. Pads with notes in the key
determined by the Scale will be lit, while pads with notes between the scale degrees will be unlit.
Notes: Each pad is assigned a note, ascending by one scale degree with each pad.
Chords: Each pad is assigned a chord, the root note ascending by one scale degree with each pad. All available
chords will play in the key determined by the Scale.
Chromatic Chords: Each pad is assigned a chord, the root note ascending by one scale degree with each pad.
You can play any chord type regardless of the key determined by the Scale. Essentially, this is like the Chords
setting but with more options to play chords out of the set key.
Progressions: Each pad is assigned a chord in a chord progression. You can play the pads in (or out of) order to
construct songs quickly. The available chords are determined by the Chord field.
Tip: You can use your own progressions (created in the desktop version of the MPC software) on your MPC
hardware. See Addenda > Updates in MPC 2.1 > New Features > Pad Perform Mode: User Progressions to
learn more about this.
Custom: Each pad is assigned a custom note. See Addenda > Updates in MPC 2.11 > New Features > Pad
Perform and 16 Levels Enhancements to learn more about this.
