5.6PROGRAM EDIT MODE

Program Edit Mode contains all parameters for editing each layer of a sound program as well as all synthesis parameters and the insert effect settings. If a virtual instrument (PlugIn) or a MIDI instrument is selected, Program Edit Mode will look different.

ÂWhen working with the MPC Renaissance, you will recognize that all parameters of Program Edit Mode are arranged in a grid with up to 16 parameters. These parameters correspond to the 16 Q-Link knobs of the MPC Renaissance and are fast and intuitive to use.

ÂThe MPC Studio is equipped with 4 Q-Link knobs which can be assigned to the corresponding Q-Link knob column with the SCROLL dial above the Q-Link knobs.

XTo enter Program Edit, press the PROG EDIT button on your MPC hardware. In the MPC software, click on the Program Edit tab in the Upper section.

The appearance of Program Edit Mode may vary, depending on the selected program. If you have created a DRUM program, there are fewer parameters than for a KEYGROUP program. To familiarize yourself with DRUM and KEYGROUP Programs, please refer to Chapter 5.0.

XTo edit the play and sound parameters of a particular pad in a DRUM program, you can simply select it by striking the corresponding pad of your MPC hardware. Use the PAD BANK buttons to select a desired bank. The program settings will change automatically in the display of your MPC hardware. This procedure is not possible for KEYGROUP programs.

To select a DRUM program for editing in the MPC software, you have to select the desired pad first in Main Mode.
