Less guessing.
More groove.

01 / START HERE

Start with a track.#

Make a beat, choose a sound and save an idea. You do not need to learn every engine before you start.

Then follow the chapter that matches what you want to do next:

• Build a kit from different engines
• Shape a sound with native EDIT controls
• Generate and mutate an acid bassline
• Chop and perform a loop
• Arrange and export your music

A project, at a glance.#

RHYTHMER OS for MPC Sample builds on Melodee’s groovebox foundation. A project combines up to 16 tracks, independent patterns, scenes, a song timeline, mixing and effects. The added engines, Rhythmer Kit, GEN tools and Break performance pages sit inside that environment.

Four track choices. Different jobs.

Coming from the stock workflow

The panel labels are familiar, but the project structure is different. Pick a track first; its type determines what the pads and pages do. A pattern belongs to that track. A scene changes several tracks together.

• PAD BANK + pad selects a track. A bank within a kit is a separate selection.
• SAMPLE opens the selected track’s Stage; hold it for a temporary Pads / Keys view. Use PAD FX + KNOB FX for TRACKS.
• Tap SEQ to reach pattern pages. Hold SEQ + pad to launch a pattern.
• Save deliberately with SHIFT + Pad 16 → SAVE. Do not rely on a background autosave.

03 / START HERE

Find your way around.#

If a physical knob is away from the value on screen, takeover prevents an immediate jump. Configure the response in Settings → KNOBS. Read the highlighted card and its secondary SHIFT value before changing it.

04 / MAKE SOUND

Choose a track, then a sound.#

Hold PAD BANK + track pad → release → tap SAMPLE → Stage

Stage is the selected track’s sound home. Tap SAMPLE from another page to reach it; tapping SAMPLE again returns Stage to its first sound page. Holding SAMPLE shows the track’s Pads / Keys view temporarily. Tracks is reached with PAD FX + KNOB FX.

For an overview, press PAD FX + KNOB FX together to open TRACKS. Turn the encoder or tap its numbered pad to select it; Push opens its Stage. An unused track, or one deliberately set to EMPTY, opens the same type-selection carousel. A Sample Kit with no audio loaded is still an assigned Sample Kit.

Change an instrument or track type.

PAD BANK + track pad → PAD FX + KNOB FX → B1 TRACK SETUP

1. Hold PAD BANK and tap the destination track’s numbered pad. Release PAD BANK.
2. Press PAD FX + KNOB FX together for TRACKS. Press B1 TRACK SETUP. Check the header’s track number before continuing.
3. Turn the encoder to CHANGE PLUG-IN to replace a plug-in, or TRACK TYPE to choose PLUG-IN / SAMPLE KIT / MIDI / EMPTY. Push or the labelled SELECT key enters the choice.
4. Choose the type or instrument and confirm. A completed change opens that track’s Stage. For Break Engine, choose and decode a loop before the replacement takes effect.

TRACK TYPE changes the sound family while keeping all 128 patterns, the current pattern, playback speed, mixer and inserts. EMPTY removes the instrument and keeps the sequence. Source-specific pad and modulation state resets when changing family; existing notes are not remapped to a new instrument.

LOAD MPC KIT loads only the chosen kit into this track and preserves its patterns. It does not open the whole project. Cancel returns without replacing the current sound. Use SHIFT + Minus to undo an accepted instrument or type change, and SHIFT + Plus to redo it.

Cancel, go back and recover a mistake.

• Before loading: follow B1 BACK / CANCEL. In a browser, Back may first move up one folder; keep going until you return to the caller. SHIFT + encoder Push follows Back.
• In TRACK TYPE: Back returns to TRACK SETUP first; another Back returns to TRACKS.
• In a confirmation: B1 CANCEL or SHIFT + Push cancels, even if the affirmative answer is selected. Plain Push or B3 confirms.
• After an accepted replacement or deletion: SHIFT + − undoes it; SHIFT + + redoes it. Undo is not advertised for every internal plug-in parameter.
• After changing tracks in a preset/load screen: continue from the new track’s Stage. The old track’s browser is closed. A file load already started keeps its original target; changing tracks does not redirect its result.
• During recording: finish recording before replacing the instrument/type. A frozen track asks to unfreeze before a change.

Use LOAD MPC KIT for a kit-only import. Use SHIFT + Pad 16 → OPEN when you intend to open an entire project. These are different operations.

05 / MAKE SOUND

Sample Kit: your own material.#

Empty track → KIT · SAMPLE SELECT → choose a file → Push

Sample Kit is the native sampling path. It is separate from Rhythmer Kit, which hosts synthesis engines. A Sample Kit can address 128 pads over banks A–H; the project’s sample pool and an engine’s internal voices are different limits.

Press the lit soft key again to cycle its pages. Hit a pad to select the sample being edited. TRIM sets start/end/loop point; MIX changes pad/kit level and pan; TUNE changes pitch and Warp; PLAY contains voice and mute-group behavior. FILTER affects the selected pad, while KIT FILT processes the kit as a whole.

Load, chop, tune

1. Open SAMPLE SELECT on a Sample Kit, browse the card and Push to load the file onto the chosen pad. Preserve its source file when moving the project.
2. Use TRIM to set a useful region. CHOP opens slicing; its slice selection and TO PADS action place regions onto pads.
3. Use TUNE / FOLLOW to fit the material to your tempo. Beats, Tones and Tape have different pitch/time behavior; start by listening to a simple pattern.

Record audio

SAMPLE RECORD opens recording for a Sample Kit. Choose the input source, length and threshold; tap a target pad to start, and use STOP, Push or the pad again to finish. SHIFT + SAMPLE opens Input Config for source, gain and monitoring. Set monitoring intentionally to avoid recording a feedback loop.

Resample records internal sound. Audio Recall retrieves recent audio; sequence Recall retrieves played notes. They are different functions. Supported MPC .xpm/.xty programs can supply a kit; importing does not guarantee an exact recreation of every proprietary stock effect or setting.

06 / MAKE SOUND

Rhythmer Kit: build a whole drum part.#

Empty track → PLUG-IN → Rhythmer Kit → PRESETS

Start with one of 36 complete kits, each with 16 populated pads. Select the kit in PRESETS with the encoder or K1, then Push / LOAD. A kit is one track containing many sounds.

In PAD SOURCE, K1 selects Pad, K2 selects Engine and K3 selects Sound. Hit a pad or turn Pad to change the edit focus. A P11 label means the eleventh destination pad. Check that pad number and source before editing. Pad-source effects belong to that engine instance; the kit filter, host PERFORM controls and track sends are separate.

PAUSE MOTION ❚❚

07 / MAKE SOUND

One engine. One playable sound.#

Empty track → PLUG-IN → engine → PRESETS

Load an individual engine for a bass, melody or one playable percussion voice. Turn the encoder or K1 in PRESETS, then Push / LOAD to select a program. Merely moving through the list does not load a program. Stage PRESETS retains its native audition behavior: turning there can change the sound after a short delay. The opened preset list instead waits for Push / LOAD. Save your work before auditioning another factory preset.

The first controls mirror the engine’s filter/resonance or representative sound controls. B2 opens PERFORM with DJ FILTER, ECHO and SPACE, followed by ARP / CHORD. B3 retains MIX / SENDS / FX. Press B1 until EDIT is selected for Stage EDIT and its original sound controls.

To save a reusable sound, tap SAMPLE, press B1 for EDIT and Push the encoder at PUSH: SAVE SOUND. In SAVE, K1 chooses slot 1–64 and turning K2 Save Sound to SAVE writes it. Wait for Status Ready. B2 PRESETS lists it as User Sound 01, 02, and so on; select it and Push / LOAD. A used slot is overwritten. Save the project separately for patterns and arrangement.

08 / MAKE SOUND

Shape the sound in EDIT.#

SAMPLE → B1 EDIT → K1–K3 · Push → source / save tools

Tap SAMPLE, then press B1 until EDIT is selected. Stage B1 still cycles PRESETS / EDIT. Turn the encoder or − / + to browse sound controls; Push opens the source/save tools shown by the visible hint. Individual engines start on SAVE and Rhythmer Kit starts on PAD SOURCE. B2 PERFORM / ARP / CHORD and B3 MIX / SENDS / FX on Stage keep their existing jobs. Third-party plug-ins without Rhythmer’s tool layout retain native Push behavior. The sound-control view keeps the native six-line list. Turn the encoder or use − / + to move by three controls; K1–K3 adjust the visible active row. Position and total are shown. Original EDIT, ENV, LFO and FX controls follow their source order with the original units. There is no extra MAIN or PAGES menu.

Dexed, DRUM-X, Plaits, CS-1 and MONO2K have OUTPUT CUTOFF, OUTPUT RESONANCE and OUTPUT FILTER TYPE in their first EDIT row. At 100% cutoff, 0% resonance and LP they bypass without altering the original output. Factory selection resets these additions to neutral; User Sound and project saves keep your settings.

09 / MAKE SOUND

The sound palette.#

Twenty entries appear in the selected plug-in list. Sample Kit and MIDI remain native track choices outside that list. Original instrument names identify the sound sources; a model choice inside an engine is not automatically a separate preset bank.

These symbolic graphics give each engine its own visual character. The examples move without playing audio; pause them to study a screen. Reduce Motion preferences are respected.

10 / BUILD A GROOVE

Record, edit and perform patterns.#

SEQ → PATTERNS · use the labelled SEQUENCE hub for STEPS / ROLL / MOTION

Patterns sets length, grid and swing: K1 length, K2 grid, K3 swing. A one-bar pattern on a 1/16 grid gives sixteen step positions in 4/4. Long native patterns and the Acid Generator’s 1–64-step operating range are not the same limit.

1. Select a track and an empty pattern. Hold SEQ and press a pad to select a pattern slot.
2. Tap SAMPLE to return to Stage. Press SEQ RECORD to arm, then PLAY and perform the part. PATTERNS pads select or launch patterns, not notes.
3. Add notes over successive loops. Press SEQ RECORD again to stop recording while playback continues.
4. Use SHIFT + − to undo the last recording take. Use SHIFT + + to redo.

Choose the right editor

Patterns, scenes and Recall

Hold SEQ and press a pad to queue that track’s pattern. Several pad choices form a pattern chain. Hold SEQ + SHIFT and press a pad to launch the corresponding scene across tracks. A pattern launch normally waits for the next bar while transport runs.

SHIFT + SEQ RECORD recalls the recent played phrase into the next empty patterns on the tracks that played. It records notes rather than sampling audio. Keep this distinction when deciding between Recall, Audio Recall and resampling.

11 / BUILD A GROOVE

Generate an idea. Keep what works.#

SEQ → PATTERNS → SHIFT + B3 → GEN

GEN uses the FM-1 Rhythmer generator lineage. K1 sets Energy, K2 selects Explore / Random / a genre, and K3 sets Seed. Turn the encoder to an operation, then Push or APPLY. Read both the target range and NEW SOUNDS / KEEP SOUNDS message before applying.

SOUND + MIDI vs MIDI ONLY

SOUND + MIDI uses one group: T1–T4, T5–T8, T9–T12 or T13–T16. K1 SONG GROUP selects it. Tracks outside that group retain their patterns and sounds, but project root/scale/tempo are shared.

MIDI ONLY uses its own inclusive MIDI FROM / MIDI TO range. Equal endpoints target one track. It generates note data without assigning instruments, so load suitable sounds yourself. These two target settings are remembered separately.

Seed, Undo and navigation

Reapplying Generate Song without adjusting its settings chooses a new seed while avoiding the last eight random draws. Enter a previous seed to return to the same starting conditions. Mutate also uses the existing pattern as input. Undo restores the operation’s pattern, sound and relevant project changes together.

B2 cycles GEN → VARY → GEN SETUP → GEN; its label shows the next destination. OPEN enters a subpage, APPLY runs an operation, SELECT confirms the group and DONE returns from the MIDI range screen. Back from engine GEN returns to main GEN; Back again returns to PATTERNS. Screen BACK and SHIFT + Push follow the same GEN hierarchy.

12 / BUILD A GROOVE

Acid Generator.#

Acid Engine track → SEQ → PATTERNS → SHIFT + B3 → ACID GEN

Generate a bassline specifically for the Acid Engine, then mutate it while keeping the changes on this track. This is the dedicated TB-3PO-derived Acid Generator from the FM-1 lineage, not the generic song generator with a different sound attached.

PAUSE MOTION ❚❚

1. Load Acid Engine on the track and choose a pattern between 1 and 64 steps.
2. Open ACID GEN. Use B2 SETTINGS to cycle its two settings pages.
3. Start with the inherited defaults: Density 70, Accent 40, Slide 25, Octaves 2, Base Octave 1. The project supplies key and scale.
4. Choose GENERATE ACID for a new line, or MUTATE ACID to vary the current line.
5. Play the result. Shape the instrument’s cutoff, resonance and envelope separately in sound design; return to GEN when you want new notes.

Accent becomes the original 127/96 velocity distinction. Slides become sequence slide commands; ties lengthen an existing note rather than retriggering it, including across pattern boundaries. Acid has its own track-local random state; it does not share the four-track GEN seed.

13 / BUILD A GROOVE

Break Manipulator.#

Break track → SEQ / PATTERNS → SHIFT + B3 GEN → ENGINE GEN / BREAK GEN → BRK PERF

Break Engine prepares a loop; Break GEN rearranges its slices; Break Manipulator is the six-page BRK PERF interface for playing those slices, rolls and A/B source changes. It brings the FM-1 performance approach into the MPC Sample workflow.

PAUSE MOTION ❚❚

Prepare the source once

1. Select Break Engine. In its browser set K1 LOAD BARS to the actual loop length: 1, 2, 3 or 4 bars in 4/4.
2. Select your audio file and Push. The whole source is divided into sixteen equal regions, placed on the current bank’s pads, and aligned using the declared length.
3. Play STRAIGHT first. Confirm that the source length and downbeat are correct before changing the arrangement.
4. Open BRK PERF from the Break menu or the Break editing view.

Generate a new chop pattern

K2 Genre and K3 Seed shape generation; the main GEN Energy controls Random/Mutate intensity. To change an existing loop’s bar interpretation, set LOAD BARS and load that file again. Break’s dedicated performance DSP is mono; stereo source material is summed for that path.

14 / BUILD A GROOVE

Six pages. Hands on the break.#

Roll pads, as they sit on the hardware

A/B sources and CHOP vs LOOP

On SOURCE A / B, LOAD B opens the second loop. Both sources use the same declared bar count, even when their files contain different frame counts. Load B before selecting it. RETURN restores the straight source/variation state.

CHOP follows the slices written in the sequence. LOOP follows the internal break phrase while the sequence gate is open, including Variation and Drift. A newly generated slice pattern starts in CHOP; choose LOOP when exploring phrase variations.

Record a performance

1. Start transport with Record + Play enabled on the Break track.
2. On ROLLS or SOURCE, hold the performance pads as you play. Command type and held length are written into the current sequence.
3. Play it back: the recorded rolls and A/B/Return commands are recalled. Steps, Step Edit and Roll display command names.
4. Hold a step and turn the encoder to change its Chop/Roll/A/B/Return command. This edits the performance instead of replacing the whole pattern.

Turn or push the encoder to move through BRK PERF pages. GEN returns to Break’s generation menu; its BACK returns to main GEN. Use RETURN when you want to remove the current variation/held performance state. Save the project with its user loops.

15 / FINISH & CONNECT

Turn patterns into an arrangement.#

SHIFT + Pad 12 → SONG

Each lane belongs to one track. Choose a lane with the pads; turn the encoder to move by bars. K1 zooms the timeline, while K2/K3 choose a clip’s pattern and duration. B3 places a clip or duplicates the selected one. Push opens its notes; ERASE removes the selected clip.

When Song runs, launched patterns can be captured as clips. CHOP splits a clip at the cursor; LOOP loops its bar range. Use markers and tempo changes to structure an arrangement rather than assuming every pattern on every track must have the same length.

Export

Open EXPORT with B1. Select a WAV mixdown, stems or a MIDI file, then export with B2. WAV choices include 32-bit float, 24-bit and 16-bit. NEW PATTERN writes the song into patterns instead of rendering audio. MIDI export contains events, not the sound of the engines.

The RHYTHMER card paths use Rhythmer/Mixdowns, Rhythmer/Stems and Rhythmer/MIDI. Keep the card mounted and give the render time to finish. Verify the resulting files before clearing the source project.

16 / FINISH & CONNECT

Capture a performance as audio.#

LOOP + 16 LEVELS → LOOPER

L1–L4 are audio loops, separate from note patterns. Enable the Looper first with B3 or Push. K1 selects the loop, K2 its length and K3 its level. SHIFT exposes feedback, quantization and the action after recording.

1. Open MORE and select SOURCE: input, a track, another loop or the mix.
2. Start playback. Push the encoder to queue recording at the next bar.
3. Push again to close the loop at a bar boundary and play it.
4. Push during playback to overdub, then again to finish overdubbing.

MORE → COMMIT places a loop onto the next empty pad of the selected Sample Kit. The Looper’s MIX page and effect chains shape its audio. Loops save alongside the project; preserve those accompanying files when moving it.

17 / FINISH & CONNECT

Mix at the right level.#

PAD FX + KNOB FX → TRACKS → B2 SENDS · SHIFT + KNOB FX → chains

The signal path is: source → track effects → track level/pan → sends A–D → bus effects/return → master effects/compressor → MAIN VOLUME. A native Sample Kit can additionally use a pad chain before the track chain. Original engine FX live inside the source and are separate from these host effects.

In a chain, B1/B3 move among its scopes; BYPASS toggles the selected effect, and MORE changes, moves or removes it. K1–K3 edit the displayed values; −/+ accesses the next row. Delay SYNC uses musical note values where available.

A useful first balance

1. Lower the loudest pad in EDIT, not only the whole kit.
2. Set the kit’s overall level on Stage MIX. Bring the bass and other tracks around it on Tracks.
3. Add sends deliberately and check bus returns. If a sound already has long internal reverb/delay, keep the host send low initially.
4. Watch the master for overload. Loud preview audio does not establish a safe project mix.

Record knob changes as Motion for repeatable filter or effect moves. For deliberate cross-modulation, use MOD assignments and separate parameter ranges. Macros move several parameters from one control; they do not replace the instrument’s original internal modulation.

18 / FINISH & CONNECT

Connect external instruments.#

SHIFT + Pad 8 → MIDI

Choose the external MIDI jacks or USB, then set input/output channels and sync mode. An input on the selected-track channel follows the selected track; a dedicated track channel addresses that track directly. MIDI-only tracks need external audio routing to hear the receiving instrument.

The inherited input path accepts note/pressure data, pitch bend and mod wheel on supported plug-in/MIDI tracks. A native kit begins at MIDI note 36 for A01. Each engine may implement a different subset of expressive controls. Start with one cable path and one channel, then add clock after note routing works.

19 / FINISH & CONNECT

Save the project and its sound.#

SHIFT + Pad 16 → SAVE / OPEN / NEW

Save the project for patterns, arrangement, track/kit state and sample references. Save Sound / Save Kit creates a reusable user preset instead. A preset does not replace a project save.

OPEN browses projects. MORE provides operations such as save-as, duplicate, rename and startup selection. Load kit (no patterns) imports kit material without replacing the arrangement. Opening stock MPC Sample projects follows the supported import path and creates a working copy; not every proprietary setting has an equivalent.

Save a preset, then reopen it.

1. On the chosen track, tap SAMPLE → B1 EDIT → encoder Push. Read the visible SAVE SOUND or PAD SOURCE / SAVE prompt.
2. For a kit, edit a pad in PAD SOURCE, then press B3 SAVE. For a single instrument, SAVE opens immediately.
3. K1 selects slot 1–64. Turning K2 Save Sound / Save Kit to SAVE writes it. Wait for K3 Status Ready; if an error appears, check card access and storage before proceeding.
4. B2 PRESETS / KIT PRESETS opens the list. Find User Sound NN / User Kit NN and Push / LOAD. A fresh track/project using the same engine or Rhythmer Kit reads these files too.
5. SHIFT + Push returns from the tools to the Stage EDIT row you were using. Switching tracks follows normal current-track navigation.

What TRANSPORT actually does

In the source/save tools, hold SHIFT: B3 becomes TRANSPORT. B3 toggles whether this plug-in receives the host’s playing/stopped state. ON lets transport-aware internal sequencers or arpeggiators follow playback. OFF reports stopped even while the OS plays. Notes still reach the instrument; this is not mute or global Play/Stop. Engines that do not use host playback state may sound the same in either setting.

Fine-edit without leaving the sound

On Stage EDIT, turn K1, K2 or K3 to choose the last-touched parameter, then hold SHIFT and turn the encoder for fine adjustment. Turning the encoder without SHIFT moves through rows of sound controls. Encoder Push on supported engines now opens source/save tools; it no longer cycles the three card selections as stock Melodee does. External plug-ins retain their original Push behavior.

Install and protect your work

Back up the entire card first, including projects, presets, user loops and plug-in data. For this first public beta, use the full SD package, preserving autorun/ and Rhythmer/ at the card root and engines in Rhythmer/Plugins. Later compatible signed UPDATE packages replace the app only, not engines or kits. Match the release version and SHA-256 before copying files. Installation, package choices and stock recovery ↗. The 0.4.0-beta.3 full SD package includes the updated app, plug-ins and catalogue. Physical-device validation remains pending.

For the current owner-test target, the launcher expects MPC Sample AC50 firmware 1.3.0.12. Treat that as a release-specific requirement, not support for every firmware revision. Do not use an FM-1 installer or a stock-app enhancement patch for this OS.

20 / FINISH & CONNECT

Freeze a part. Keep making music.#

Freeze prints an instrument part so playback can use less processing. Deep Freeze also unloads the live instrument. The original foundation provides both options; use Unfreeze before editing the instrument or changing its notes.

Manual GEN and Break edits ask you to Unfreeze first. Automatic Acid mutation skips frozen tracks. Keep your source plug-ins and samples with the project so you can restore the editable part. Check the result on the actual device before building a larger session.

21 / REFERENCE

Set up the instrument for your hands.#

SHIFT + Pad 8 → SETTINGS

Settings apply across projects. Changing sample rate restarts the audio path. Test timing and CPU load on the actual MPC Sample, especially with multiple heavy engines or separately edited kit pads.

First installation

Use the complete SD package, including Rhythmer/Plugins, for this first public beta. Back up the card before copying files. UPDATE packages replace the app only and are not first-install packages. Use Rhythmer-signed packages; upstream Melodee update ZIPs are not Rhythmer updates.

Exit cleanly

A short POWER press opens Exit. STAY returns to the session; POWER OFF saves and shuts down; MPC APP saves and switches back to the stock application for that boot. Use the matching release’s recovery instructions if startup fails. Do not remove the card while it is saving.

22 / REFERENCE

Keep the important controls close.#

SHIFT + pad

23 / REFERENCE

When something gets in the way.#

When reporting a beta issue, include the build version, engine/preset or kit, track/pattern, exact steps, and whether it survives a save/reload. A short screen/audio example makes a routing issue much easier to distinguish from a synthesis issue.
