Editing the sound of a sample

Each pad has a parameter to change the sound, which is called “Filter”. You can edit the sound of the sample by

editing this parameter. This is done in the FILTER page of the PROGRAM mode.

Each pad has two filters. You can create a

more complicated sound by combining these

two filters. Also you can link these two filters

to make a more powerful filter.

01. In the PROGRAM mode, press the [F2] (FILTER) key.

The FILTER page will be displayed. You can select the program to edit in the Pgm field.

02. Select the pad you wish to edit for the sound by hitting it.

The Pad field displays the pad number of the selected pad. To the right of the pad number, the name of the

sample assigned to the pad is displayed.

03. Select the Type field of filter 1 (to the left) and select which filter type to use.

The MPC1000 has several types of filter to edit the sound. With these filters, you can cut or boost the

specific frequency of the sound.

LOW PASS This filter cuts out the high frequencies and passes the low frequencies. This filter is

frequently used in the electronic instruments such as synthesizers.

HIGH PASS This filter cuts out the low frequencies and passes the high frequencies.

BAND PASS The filter passes the specific frequencies and cuts out the other frequencies.

OFF No filter is used.

04. Select the Freq field and set the cut off frequency.

The cut off frequency is the frequency that triggers the filter. When you select the LOW PASS filter, if you

set the cut off frequency too low, the sound will seem dull. This is because most of the higher frequencies of

sound are cut off by the filter. When you select the HIGH PASS filter, if you set the cut off frequency too

high, most of the lower frequencies are cut off, which results in a more hollow sound.

05. Set the Reso field to adjust the resonance of the filter.

If you set the resonance value at a larger value, the frequencies set in the Freq field will be boosted more. It

is hard to describe the effect of the resonance, because it differs depending on the cut off frequency and

filter type. Experiment several settings in the Type field, Freq field, and Reso field.

Note: If you notice distorted sound while using the FILTER, you can use the Att parameter to adjust the level of the

signal sent to the filter, and remove the unwanted distortion.

06. Set the filter of the filter 2 (to the right) in the same way.

Tips: You do not have to edit both filter 1 and 2. If you do not need the filter, set the Type field to OFF.

Linking the two filters

You can link the two filers to make it as one powerful filter.

To link the filters, select the LINK in the Type field for the filter 2 (in the right).

The MPC1000 will ignore the settings in the Freq field and the Reso field for the filter 2 and apply the same

setting as those for the filter 1, which provides you with a powerful filter effect.
