Hello. I needed to tune a sample yesterday to fit a song and it wasn't a fast process. I could tune it up and down by semitones using the data wheel, but I couldn't find a knob to adjust by cents. I ended up with +1 semitone, +35 cents, but that was from typing the tune in and listening several times until I got it close enough. I'd much rather turn an encoder to add the cents. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Thank you, Chris! I was able to find that, but in a different way. Sample Edit shows a different screen than your screenshot, without Fine tuning. Program Edit got me to that page, though, and I'm using that. Is that a screenshot from the software? I'm using a One+.

Thanks again!

I see this same screen on my mpc x and mpc key61 in program edit.
Yes, it looks like a screen cap.

What firmware version are you on? I don't think it has changed that much visually on this page, but they did shuffle things around a bit a *while* ago... current firmware is 2.14

I'm on firmware 2.14 also. The page wasn't the issue, but how to get to it. It's not under Sample Edit, it's under Program Edit.

In the Sample Edit screen, you can adjust the pitch using the Tune parameter. Pressing the Shift key allows you to make fine adjustments to the Tune setting. Unlike the Program Edit screen, this directly adjusts the sample itself, so it affects all pads sharing the sample.
