Selecting a sequence to play with pads
You can select a sequence that you wish to play next, by hitting the pads. This is useful for live performances,
which change a song structure in real time. Also, you can check the relationship between sequences while you are
working on a song with several short sequences. Pressing the [NEXT SEQ] key brings up the next sequence page.
NEXT SEQ Screens
Now field
Like the Now field in the MAIN page, it displays the current time position of the sequence.
Sq field
Like the Sq field in the MAIN page, you can select a sequence in this field.
Sequence list
The sequence list is displayed under the Now field and the Sq field.
The sequence list displays the first 8 letters of the sequence name. The sequences are displayed according to
the position of the pads; Sequence 1 on the lower left and sequence 16 on the upper right. You can display 16
pads at one time, allowing you to display 1 to 64 sequences by switching pad banks.
Note: you cannot select a sequence between 65 and 99 using pads, but you can select them in the Sq field.
Operation
01. In the Sq field, select a sequence that you wish to play first.
02. Start to play back the Sequence.
03. Select another sequence that you wish to play next, using a pad.
The number and name of the selected sequence will be displayed below the Sequence list. The MPC1000 will
switch to the next sequence after it plays the current sequence to the end.
Tips: You can change the next sequence by hitting the pads until the current sequence ends.
Tips: When no other sequence is selected, the MPC1000 will continue to playback the current sequence over and
over.
Tips: You can cancel the next sequence that is displayed below the sequence list, by pressing the [F6] (CLEAR)
key.
SUDDEN key
Normally, the MPC1000 will switch to the next sequence after it plays the current sequence to the end.
However, you can also switch to the next sequence before the MPC1000 finishes playing back the current
sequence by pressing the [F4] (SUDDEN) key.
It is useful for the live performance, where you need to switch to the next phrase at a certain cue.
01. Select the next sequence with the pads, and press the [F4] (SUDDEN) key.
The MPC1000 will switch to the next sequence at the point the key is pressed.
Tips: If you press the pad while holding the [F4] (SUDDEN) key, the MPC1000 will switch to the next sequence at
the point the pad is hit.
