Sample

Sampling materials from Records or Musical instruments. In any case, I saying about sound materials. Those dates capacity probably become most biggest in whole dates. And, sampling times become to longer, date capacity become to bigger too. So, if you have some unused dates, you should to delete those for memory allocation.

 

Program

To say it simply, “Program” is including information like this. “Which sound assigned to which PAD”. And, the Volume setting, Filter setting, and more at per each PAD.

Sequence’s date capacity probably become small.

“Sequence” is including information like this. “Which PAD did you touch? What’s the timing? How power did you touch PAD with? How long did you touch PAD?” And, sequence isn’t including sound material’s date.

 

ALL Sequence and Song

AKAI MPC is including Song function. It’s a function that combine some sequence into one track.
