About This User Guide
This manual was written to help you get familiar with the MPC hardware and software.
For consistency and to help prevent confusion, the terminology throughout is based on the MPC
parameter names. You will find the various terms explained in the Appendix > Glossary chapter at the
end of this manual.
We also used a uniform set of symbols to show topics of particular interest or significance:
Information: Important or helpful information on a given topic.
Hardware: How to use a software feature with your MPC hardware's controls. Note that these
paragraphs are not the only parts of the manual that mention the MPC hardware!
All buttons, controls, and parameters are highlighted in bold characters throughout the manual.
Examples: Press the Prog Edit button.
Turn the Level dial.
Click the Trig menu.
Specific settings or values are indicated in italic characters.
Examples: The Velocity ranges from 0 to 127.
Set your Sample Play to One-Shot or Note-On.
Click the Pad Audio Route menu, and select Out 1,2.
Some parts of this manual refer to other relevant chapters or sections, which are cited in bold, italic,
blue characters. Click the text to skip immediately to that section.
Examples: Read the Important Notes section before proceeding.
