EDITING TIME DIVISION

The Time Division feature works in conjunction with Note Repeat. When Note Repeat is enabled and a pad is held down, the MPD26 will output notes at a rate equivalent to the Time Division setting. To change to a new Time Division setting, press and hold [TIME DIVISION] and select a new rate by pressing one of Pads 8- 16 (1/4, 1/4T, 1/8, etc.). To select the amount of Swing, press and hold [TIME DIVISION] and press one of Pads 9-16 (54%, 56%, etc.). The adjustments you make to either parameter will be shown in the LCD.
