With the SAMPLE REC and STOP buttons, you can start and stop the recording procedure. Keep in mind that when the Threshold parameter is set to a higher value, the recording will not start after clicking the REC button. The level of audio input signal needs to reach the threshold for recording to start. If you do not click on STOP, recording will continue to the end of the previously set sample length.

start the recording independently from the threshold setting by pressing F6 (Start). Press the F6 button again while recording to stop recording.

XWhen the recording procedure is finished, the MPC hardware’s display changes to a new page. Here you can navigate to the Assign to Pad option and choose a pad for assigning. Alternatively, you can hit the pad directly. Root Note sets the root note for the recorded sample. Press F4 (Play) to playback the recorded sample.
