New MPCs also support ‘
round robins
’ where the pads can be configured to
play back a different timbre sample each time it is hit, regardless of how hard you
hit the pad. Each round robin in a ‘cycle’ is recorded at the same velocity but
sounds subtly different each time the pad is hit. Kits with round robins configured
on the pads are referred to as ‘
cycle’
kits. Most pads in a cycle kit feature 4
round robins.
Please note that it is not currently possible to combine round robins and velocity
switching on the same pad, hence the reason for two different versions of each
mix.
Sound Patches
In addition to the provided mic mixes, the MPC X/Live/MPC Software Expansion
contains edition also includes additional ‘patch’ programs that use internal FX,
filters and program parameters to create 10 additional sound patches/presets. In
the MPC Software, the patches are found in the ‘
Patches’
group:
In the hardware UI, the patch files have the word ‘
Patches’
in the file name;
remember you can use the search filter to show only programs containing the
word ‘patches’:
