Quick Start / Tutorial
This chapter should help you to familiarize yourself with some basic MPC features. To get the most out
of this tutorial, we recommend reproducing each of the described steps.
The display on your MPC Touch reflects what it is controlling in the software, but due to space and
character limitations, the hardware display is slightly different (e.g., parameter names may be
abbreviated, the layout may be different or spread across multiple tabs, etc.).
Important: MPC Touch’s Q-Link Knobs control one column of parameters at a time. Whenever this
manual instructs you to use the Q-Link Knobs to adjust parameters, you can use the Scroll Knob
(above the Q-Link Knobs) to move through the different columns.
On the following pages we will create a short song to show you important aspects of using the MPC
software in conjunction with the MPC Touch.
Starting Up
Make sure you have completed all of the steps described in Introduction > Setup. This includes:
• Installing the necessary drivers and software.
• Connecting your MPC Touch to a power source using the included power adapter and powering it on.
• Connecting your MPC Touch to your computer with a standard USB cable.
• Open and unlocking your MPC software.
