Please note:
For the Gate effect to be perceived, the sounds you
are triggering need to have a long decay.
EDITING NOTE REPEAT
The MPD26 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 currently selected Time Division. 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.
1. To edit Note Repeat, press [EDIT] to enter Edit Mode.
2. Now select Note Repeat for editing by pressing [NOTE REPEAT].
3. You will see Page 1 displayed on the screen (shown on the left).
4. Turn the [VALUE] dial to select the property you wish to edit -
(Toggl-Motry) or (Gate Swing).
5. Press [ENTER] to edit the selected property.
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.
