Noob Programme Question

I'm just starting out with the MPC One. So far I've got;

One sequence
Drum synth multi on track 1
Drum synth shaker on track 2
A sampler on track 3, Pad A1 in a programme Hard Clap

I've sampled some noise from the Micro Freak synth and want to add it to a new programme separate from the Hard Clap program.

I can't create a new program for the Micro Freak sample.

I've selected an unused track. However, there is no pencil icon in the program section. The only program I can select in the drum program section is the hard clap. How do I create a new program?

It's probably something really simple but I can't work it out. Or I may well not be understanding something about the MPC workflow?

Any ideas?



Thanks.

Hey Jack, welcome to the wonderfull world of MPC's. It's great.

When you start a new track, press the little 4 squares button in the track window. Below you see ''drum program''. Press the square white button with a plus in it and voila: you have created a new program. Next you'll want to head to program mode to assign your sample to a pad

I can't believe I missed that! Thanks for the quick response and answer. So simple but it's been driving me nuts.

Welcome! It's normal because you're new to it, it takes some time to know where everything is, but within a few weeks you'll have developed a nifty workflow good luck and have fun.
