Aside from the sounds for the pads, each KIT stores the settings for each sound, as well as the EQ and effect settings.
The sounds assigned to each pad are called “INST” (instruments).
There are more than 2,000 INST available as presets on the MPS-10. You can enjoy a wide variation of sounds just by changing the INST assigned to each pad.
How the sound generator is structured
You can customize a KIT by freely assigning sounds to each pad on the MPS-10.
The sounds that are assigned to each pad of a KIT are called “INST” (instruments). One INST can be assigned to each pad.
Each INST has up to two oscillators (OSC), and you can play two OSC at the same time for a single INST.
Further, each OSC contains up to eight “blocks”, and a SAMPLE is assigned to each block.
To summarize, you can play up to 16 SAMPLEs at once with each pad.
For the SAMPLEs, you can use the SAMPLE data that was recorded using the sampling functions of this unit, or import external audio files (WAV files in 44.1 kHz/48 kHz 16-bit format or AIFF files in 44.1 kHz/48 kHz 16-bit format) via a USB flash drive.
The KITs, INSTs and SAMPLEs are independent of each other. You can mix and match the INSTs you like to make a KIT, or combine the SAMPLEs you like to create an INST.
