Operation

Overview

Setup Section

1. Keyboard: Click this icon to enable or disable the virtual keyboard. When enabled, you can click these keys to input notes, or view notes being played on an external MIDI device.
2. Tempo: Displays the current plugin tempo. To change the tempo:
   • Click the number and use your keyboard to input a new value.
   • Click and drag the tempo value up or down using your cursor.
   • Click the Tap button at regular intervals.
3. Settings: Click this icon to open the Settings window, where you can set the following parameters:
   • Output: to select an audio hardware driver in your computer system. Click the Test button to play a test tone for checking your audio output settings. (Careful! You should lower the volume on your audio system beforehand.)
   • Sample Rate: Click this drop-down menu to select the desired sample rate for your project. This depends on the available sample rates of the type of MPC hardware you are using or of your audio interface (i.e., select 96000 Hz only if your interface allows a 96 kHz sample rate).
   • Audio Buffer Size: Click this drop-down menu to set your audio system’s latency. Lower values result in a more immediate playing response but also more CPU consumption. If you are working with larger projects, this may cause audible clicks and pops. Higher values are more CPU-friendly but can produce more delay between pressing a pad and hearing the corresponding sound. The ideal audio buffer size also depends on your computer’s CPU performance. Experiment with this to find the best setting for your system.
   • Active MIDI Inputs: Displays available MIDI input devices. To enable a device, check the box next to its name.
   • Bluetooth MIDI: Click this icon to open your system’s Bluetooth settings menu, where you can select a Bluetooth-enabled MIDI device to control the plugin.
4. Info: Click this icon to display the plugin version information.
5. Preset: Click this drop-down menu to view the list of included plugin presets. You can also click the up and down arrows next to this field to move to the previous or next preset.
