General overview
There are 3 main sections of the MPC Studio Mk2 in the context of Ableton Live:
- Pads and the buttons on the left
- These control multiple things about the session and allow note input. More info in the Pads section
- The buttons to the right, including the jog wheel
- These mostly do what they say, with a few exceptions. More info in the Buttons section
- The Touch Strip and buttons Touch Strip and Note Repeat.
- These allow controlling some track parameters, provide visual feedback, allow repeated, tempo synchronized note entry, and also fixed length recording in Session View. More info in the Touch Strip section
The last section in this page is a single page, easily referencable Cheat Sheet.
Printable PDFs and Diagrams will come soon.
