For the Gate effect to be perceived, the sounds you 
are triggering need to have a long decay.   
 

 

 

The MPK49 features the Note Repeat function, which can be found on our legendary Music Production 
Center (MPC) models.  With Note Repeat enabled, you can repeatedly trigger a sound by simply holding 
down a pad.  The sound will be retriggered at a rate equivalent to the Time Division currently selected on the 
MPK49. With the Note Repeat feature, you can record a phrase that would be difficult to record in real time, 
such as 16 beat hi hat, snare roll, etc… 

 

The following Note Repeat settings may be edited: 
 
BUTTON MODE (TOGGL/MOTRY) – This describes whether the [NOTE REPEAT] button functions in a 
momentary or toggle fashion. 
GATE – The gate parameter describes the duration of the repeated notes. 
SWING – The swing parameter describes the swing offset for the even notes in the repeated sequence. 

 
Please refer to the following illustrations to help you understand how Note Repeat parameters affect the 
triggered sequence: 
 

Let’s take the kick drum sequence shown on the left as an 
example.  This sequence was generated with the Note 
Repeat feature with a Time Division setting of 1/4 note. 

 

Now, if we decrease the Gate parameter, the sequence will 
look like this. 

 

Conversely, if we increase the Gate parameter, the 
sequence will look like this. 

 

Now, if we were to add some swing to our original 
sequence, we will end up with a sequence like this.  Notice 
how each even note in the sequence is being pushed back 
in time to create the swing effect.  If we keep increasing the 
Swing value, these notes will occur closer and closer to the 
odd notes.
