Create swinging patterns with the built-in 32-step sequencerWhen you're ready to sequence, you can play in your sounds on the MPC pads or program them in step-style on the sequencer. And the Rhythm Wolf packs Akai's classic MPC swing, so you can make your beats as tight or loose as you want. On the fly, you can mute parts, switch between two sequence variations, change the pattern length, and more.
