Saving Kits

If you change the currently selected Kit (in the KIT field), you will lose any changes you have made
unless you save it first.
To save the currently selected Kit:
1. Press Select + and Volume + simultaneously. The Display will ask if you want to save the
current Kit.
2. Press the Volume + button (Yes) to save the kit or the Volume – button (No) to cancel.
Please note: Saving a kit will overwrite all the pad assignments, parameters, etc. since the last
time you saved it.
To copy and save the current Kit's settings to a new User Kit:
1. Make sure an SD card is inserted into the SD Card Slot.
2. Press Select – and Volume – simultaneously. The Display will ask if you want to save the Kit to
a new Kit.
3. Press the Volume + button (Yes) to save the kit or the Volume – button (No) to cancel. MPX8
will save the Kit to the next available User Kit number (e.g., if you have 12 User Kits already
saved on the SD card, the next User Kit will be e13).
The pitch adjustment of sample assigned to the pad, in
TUNE
semitones. The lowest possible tuning is -4, and the highest is
4. At 0, the pad will play the sample back at its normal pitch.
The amount of reverb applied to the sample assigned to the
REV
pad. The lowest amount is 0 (no reverb), and the highest is 10
(maximum reverb).
How the sample plays back when triggered by the pad. When
TRIG
set to One-Shot (1SH), pressing the pad will play the entire
sample.
When set to Hold (HLD), pressing and holding the pad will play
the sample until you release the pad. If you are still holding the
pad when it reaches the end of the sample, it will loop back to
the beginning, looping it continuously until you release the pad.
When set to Loop (LP), pressing the pad will play the sample,
looping it continuously until you press the pad again.
The volume level of the sample assigned to the pad. The
LEV
quietest value is 0 (silent), and the loudest is 10.
PAN The left-right balance of the sample assigned to the pad. The
left-most value is L4, the right-most value is R4, and the center
is CTR.
The MIDI note message sent out when you press the pad. The
MID
available values are 000 – 127. This value does not affect the
sample assigned to the pad; it changes the MIDI note message
sent out MPX8's MIDI Out port and the MIDI note message
MPX8 recognizes sent into its MIDI In port.
