I'm following the MPC Bible and it mentions tail length in some of the chapters. I see the option in MPC Standalone, but when I'm trying to use the MPC Software, I don't see Tail Length in either the Program Edit screen or the Sample Edit screen.

There seems to be other things that are missing in MPC Software as well. I always thought that MPC Software had every feature that standalone had, is this not the case ?

Top of the screen, where it says 'GRID WAVE LIST'. Select WAVE to change from GRID view to WAVE view. You'll then see what is effectively the PROGRAM EDIT > SAMPLES screen (warp, BPM, xfade, tail, pad start/end

I don't cover the MPC Software in the MPC Bible (maybe one day I'll do an MPC Software/MPC Beats Bible), but if you do want to replicate the tutorials in the MPC Software it would be worth grabbing the MPC Software manual from 'Help > MPC Help' and use the search box to search for key phrases so you can see where the equivalent features are in the software GUI. For example the 'sample tail' parameter is on page 301.
