Using iTunes File Transfer

NOTE: iMPC Pro only supports wav files at a 44100 sample rate. If you have playback issues with imported sounds, or if they don’t appear: check your sample rate. You can check and convert sample rates with free desktop utilities such as Audacity

Arranging Sound
Drag sounds from the sound browser to pads. You can drag any sound from one pad to another to “clone” it. You can then easily make edits without fear of changing the original.
Drag any sound from a pad out of the pads grid to remove it — resulting in an empty pad.
If you need to drag a sound to a pad in a different bank, simply drag it, and while holding it, tap another bank!
