MODE key
With the MPC1000, each function (such as recording samples, editing samples, assigning samples to each pad,
editing sequence data, loading from memory cards, etc…) has a separate screen. These screens are called
“modes”. For example, you will use the RECORD mode to record samples, and the TRIM mode to edit samples,
the [MODE] key switches modes. By pressing the [MODE] key and hitting a pad, you can switch modes. The
mode that a pad corresponds to is displayed above each pad.
Setting names
The MPC1000 handles various types of data, from sound related data (such as samples and programs) to
performance related data (such as sequences and tracks). These data are managed by names. In this section,
you will learn how to name different data.
Select a field which you wish to name with the cursor and turn the DATA wheel. The Name windows will show up.
In the Name windows, you can name the data.
In this window, the cursor is displayed as an
underscore instead of highlights.
You can enter the name, either by using pad or by using DATA wheel.
Entering letters with DATA wheel
You can change letters selected with a cursor by turning DATA wheel in the Name window. Move the cursor with
RIGHT/LEFT cursor key and enter letters. You can enter letters using both DATA wheel and pads.
Entering letters with a pad
Two letters are assigned to each pad. By hitting a pad, the corresponding letter is entered.
Below, we will describe how to enter “Bass 01” instead of “Sequence 01”.
01. Press the UP cursor key to make the first letter capitalized.
Pressing the UP cursor key allows you to enter a capitalized letter.
02. Hit Pad 1 twice.
Hitting Pad 1 once enters A, twice enters B. Each time you hit the pad, the letter switches between A and B.
03. Press the RIGHT cursor key and move the cursor to the right.
If you enter the next letter using a different pad, the cursor will move to the right automatically. However,
when you enter the letters which are assigned to the same pad, you need to press the RIGHT cursor key to
move the cursor manually. In this example, A and B are assigned to the same pad. So, you need to move the
cursor manually.
04. The next letter is a lower-case letter (“a”), so press the DOWN cursor key.
Pressing the DOWN cursor key allows you to enter lower case letters.
05. Hit Pad 1 once.
The lower case letter “a” is entered.
06. Hit Pad 10 once.
The cursor will move to the right automatically and a lower-case letter “s” is entered.
07. Press the RIGHT cursor key to move the cursor to the right and hit the pad 10 once.
08. Press the RIGHT cursor key to move the cursor to the right and press RIGHT cursor
key holding the [SHIFT] key.
The [SHIFT] + RIGHT cursor key inserts space.
