Notes

note numbers set here.
The 'Notes' field consists of two fields, 'Low' and 'High'. 'Low' field (left) sets lower range of MIDI note and 'High' field (right)
sets higher range of MIDI note. In this page, you can set note range with external MIDI keyboard. The range is updated
whenever MIDI note is received.
For example, when the MPC500 receives only one note - C 3 for example, the range is set to C 3-C 3.
.
When the MPC500 receives multiple notes - C 3, D 3 and E 3 for example, the range is set to C 3-E 3.
