Mode Selection Shortcut
You can now press and hold the Menu button on your MPC hardware and press a pad to select a menu mode. The
pads follow the 4x4 layout of the Mode Menu.
Pad Perform Mode: Chromatic Type
You can now use Pad Perform Mode to set the pads to follow a chromatic layout. When the Chromatic type is

determined by the Scale will be lit, while pads with notes between the scale degrees will be unlit.
