Starting the recording

08. Press [F6] (RECORD) key.

The MPC1000 will be in the record ready mode, and the bottom of the screen will change as below.

This indicates that the MPC1000 is waiting for the incoming signal. It starts the recording when the input

signal exceeds the threshold level.

Pressing the [F5] (CANCEL) key cancels the record ready mode and resets the MPC1000.

Pressing the [F6] (START) key starts the recording, even when the incoming signal does not exceed the

threshold level.

Note: If you press the [F6] (RECORD) key when the external source is higher than the threshold level, the

MPC1000 will start the recording right after you press the [F6] (RECORD) key.

09. Play the external source.

The MPC1000 will start the recording automatically when the level of the input signal exceeds the threshold

level. During the recording, the bottom of the screen will change as below:

The MPC1000 stops the recording at the time set in the Time field.

You can stop the recording manually before the time set in the Time field, by pressing the [F6] (STOP) key.

To cancel the recording, press the [F5] (CANCEL) key.

After the MPC1000 ends the recording, the Keep or Retry window will be displayed.

10. Check the recorded sample by pressing [F4] (PLAY) key.

If you press the [F4] (PLAY) key, you can play back the recorded sample until you release the key.

If you do not like the recording, you can remove the recording and return to the RECORD page by pressing

the [F2] (RETRY) key. If you like the recording and decide to keep it, proceed to the next step.

11. Select the New name field with the cursor, and set the name for the sample.

In the New name field, the recorded sample will have a new name automatically. You can select the New

name field with the cursor and change the sample name if needed. For more information about setting the

sample name, see the “Setting names” section on page 8.

12. Select the Assign to pad field with the cursor and select the pad to which you wish to

assign the sample.

You can select the pad directly by hitting the pad when the cursor is in the Assign to pad field. If you just wish

to keep the recorded sample in the MPC1000’s memory and not to assign to the pad, select OFF with the

DATA wheel.

13. Press the [F5] (KEEP) key.

This closes the Keep or Retry windows and goes back to the RECORD page.

Note: The recorded sample will be removed when you switch the unit off. To keep the sample, you need to save on

a memory card or import it to a PC. For more information about saving the data, see the “Save / Load” section

on page 75 or see the “Connecting the MPC1000 to your computer” section on page 85 .
