The Main page will be displayed.

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

the recording and return to the SAMPLE page by pressing the [F2] (RETRY) button. If you like the recording and decide to keep it, proceed to the

next step.

08. In the 'New name' field, the recorded sample will have a new name automatically.

If you wish to enter in a new name, use the [CURSOR] buttons and the [DATA] wheel to enter in the new name.

For more information about entering in a sample name, see the 'Setting Names section on page 20.

09. Select the 'Assign to Pad' field with the cursor and select the Pad to which you wish to assign the sample by

hitting the Pad.

If you just wish to keep the recorded sample in the MPC5000’s memory and not assign it to the Pad, select OFF with the [DATA] wheel.

In the Keep or Retry window in Direct Recording mode, if you select the pad in the 'Assign to pad' field, the new 'Record event' field will be

displayed. If you select YES in the 'Record event' field, the recording start timing is written as track events in the sequence. The recorded sample

can be played back with the same timing that the sequence is playing back. For this example, select 'YES'.

10. Press the [F5] (KEEP) button.

This closes the Keep or Retry windows and goes back to the MAIN page with Direct Recording waiting. After the recording, play the sequence.

You will hear the recorded sample is in the same timing as the sequence.
