Finally, let’s tweak the bassline sound. This can be done in the FILTER section of the Program Edit menu. Back to the MPC hardware!

The Filter and Envelope display of the MPC hardware

XPress the PROG EDIT button of your MPC hardware to enter Program Edit Mode. Click on the F4 button (Flt Env) to enter the Filter page.

XUse the Filter Type option to select a suitable filter type. We recommend to work with the Low 4 type for a start.

XTurn the Cutoff and Resonance knobs (Q-Link knobs Q14 and Q15) until your bass sample sounds perfect to you.

XUse the Q-Link knobs Q1 to Q4 to set the amplifier envelope. This controls the overall level characteristics of the sound.

XDo you want to add some effect, e.g. Chorus? Press F6 (Effects) and select the desired effect type for your bassline. (Remember to turn the Inserts parameter to "ON.")

Now we've created a simple drum pattern with a bassline. But there’s much more!
