Display Overview
This is an overview of MPX8's Display:
1. Kit: The number of the preset, either a
Internal Kit (with an "i" prefix) or a User
Kit (with an "e" prefix).
2. Sample Location: Displays the sample
location, either MPX8's internal sample
library or an inserted SD card (sold
separately).
3. Message: Displays information about
MPX8's current state. This will show an error message if MPX8 cannot execute a
command.
4. Sample Name: Displays the name of the selected sample from MPX8's internal sample
library or an inserted SD card (sold separately).
5. Parameters: Displays the tuning, reverb, trigger type, level, panning, and MIDI note
number.
Selecting Kits
A "Kit" includes each pad’s sample location, name and/or number, tuning, reverb level, trigger
type, volume level, panning, and MIDI note number.
To select a Kit:
1. Use the Select +/– buttons to move the cursor to
the Kit field (KIT).
2. Use the Data Dial to scroll through the kit
numbers. (Internal Kits have an "i" prefix, and
User Kits have an "e" prefix.)
3. When the desired Kit number is shown, wait a
few seconds—the Kit will load automatically.
