Hi wizards,

I've just bought the MPC Element because I love the tactility and velocities of its pads.

However, when I use it in basic pad controller mode (i.e. bypassing the Essentials software/plugin), I can't get it to octave up/down to access the full spread of sounds. E.g. I have seven octave percussion and orchestral suites, yet the Element will only access 16 sounds via its 4x4 pad grid.

Am i missing something? Many thanks for your help, advice and wisdom!
