Tempo change event

Tempo change event is used to change the tempo within the sequence.

The tempo change event is different from other events. It does not belong to a specific track.

By selecting TEMPO in the View field, you can display the tempo change event information separately,

regardless of the selected track. Even when you have selected ALL EVENTS in the View field, the tempo

change event will not be displayed in the event list.

% field

You can set the amount of the tempo change.

Initial tempo field, Current tempo field

The field on the left with a note symbol is the initial tempo field. The field on the right is the current tempo field.

The initial tempo field displays the original tempo set in the tempo field of the sequence, the Current tempo field

displays the new tempo changed by the setting in the % field.

Effect select event

This event is used to switch the effect settings within the sequence.

The events described above are specific events to the MPC1000.

Below are the MIDI events that you use when using the MPC1000 as a MIDI sequencer.

Note: How a MIDI event effects an external sound module depends on the specification of the sound module.

For more information about the effect of each MIDI event, see the operation manual of your sound module.

Note event

This is a MIDI note event.

N (Note number) field

You can set the note number in this field. A note number indicates the location on a keyboard as a numbers, with

the middle C of the piano as note number 60.

D (duration) field

You can specify how long a note is held (length of a note). In the MIDI standard, pressing a key is called “Note

on”, releasing a key is called “Note off”. In this field, you will set the time from Note on to Note off.

V (velocity) field

You can set the velocity of the note event. In the MIDI standard, the speed used to trigger a note is called

velocity. The velocity is shown in 127 steps, with 127 the maximum.

Pitch bend event

You can set the pitch bend. Normally this event is used to control the pitch in real time.

Control change event

The control change, which is used for various applications, is the most versatile event in the MIDI standard.

The control change event consists of a control number, which determines the type of the control change, and

the control change value.

CC field

You can select the type of the control change in this field, and the control change value in the field on the right.
