Akai MPC STUDIO Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 

 
 

 

 
 
 
This is just a broad overview of the MPC software's features. Virtually all of the software elements can be 
accessed and controlled by MPC Studio. Please also refer to the in-depth Reference Manual (in the Help 
menu). The Reference Manual contains a quick tutorial on how to get started making a song so you can use 
MPC's features right away – and more detailed information for experienced users.  
 
•  Menu: The software's menus. 
•  Tabs:  Click these tabs to view the different parts of the software (e.g., Program Edit, Program Mixer, 

Track Mixer, etc.). 

•  Browser: The software's file browser. From here, you can load files by clicking and dragging with your 

mouse or by using the MPC Studio's controls. 

•  Workspace: The main area where you build and edit the different parts of your Project. Depending on 

what tab is selected, the Workspace will show the Sequence Grid, the Track Grid, a Song, or a sample 
waveform. 

•  Parameter Controls: This area below the Workspace contains the parameter controls for the current tab. 

Depending on what tab is selected, this space can show the Q-Link knob parameters, the pads their 
banks and samples, pad layers and their tuning, mixer controls for the Program or Tracks, etc. 

•  Time/Tempo: The current time and tempo information. 
•  Transport: Controls related to playback and recording, identical to the MPC Studio's transport controls. 
•  Master Level: The software's master output level and volume meter. Note that this level is independent of 

(and comes before) the MPC Studio's MAIN VOLUME knob.
