04. Adjust the field to the desired value while checking the level by hitting the desired pad.

If you set this field to 0, the sample will be played back at the maximum level regardless of the amount of pressure. The larger you set the value,

the bigger the difference of the level will be.

05. Press [F4] (CLOSE) to return to the Sample page.

You can set more detailed settings for sample volume by using the other parameters in the Amp Envelope window. For more information about

setting them, see the section entitled 'Amplitude Envelope' on page 123.

Velocity / Cycle / Random Sample Switching (Zone Play)

Samples assigned to the pads can be switched to play in three different ways, depending on your desired play mode.

 Velocity Sample Switching

When you assign more than one sample to a pad, you can switch between

samples by how hard you hit the pad.

01. In the Sample page of PROGRAM mode, select the desired pad by

hitting it.

02. Assign the samples to the '1' field and the '2' field.

03. Press [WINDOW].

This will open the PLAY MODE Window.

04. In the 'Zone Play' field, select VELOCITY.

Note: VELOCITY is the default setting for pads.

05. Press [F4] (CLOSE) to exit the 'PLAY MODE' window.

06. Select the 'Range' field in the same row with the '1' field, and set the velocity range to trigger the sample

assigned to the field.

The 'Range' field has two fields to set the upper and the lower limits. You can set the lower limit in the left field and the upper limit in the right field.

Here, set the upper limit (the right field) to 63.

07. Select the 'Range' field in the same row with the '2' field, and set the velocity range to trigger the sample

assigned to the field.

In this example, set the lower limit (the left field) to 64.

08. Check the result by hitting the pad.

If you hit the pad hard, the MPC5000 will play the sample assigned to the 2' field. If you hit the pad softly, the MPC5000 will play the sample

assigned to the '1' field.

Tip: How hard a pad is hit is measured in 128 steps (0 to 127). The maximum level is 127. This is the same as MIDI

velocity, which indicates the pressure used to play the keyboard.

Tip: You can also use the Q-LINK slider to switch layers. For more information, see 'Program and FX Q-LINK Controllers'

on page 179.

 Cycle Switching

Cycle Switching will play a new sample zone each time the pad is played in numerical order. In other words, the

samples will cycle through as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc.

To enable Cycle Switching, do the following:

01. From PROGRAM Mode, select any sample on the pad you wish to assign Cycle Switching.

02. Press [WINDOW]

03. Set the 'Zone Play' field to CYCLE.

 Random Sample Switching

Random sample switching will allow all the samples assigned to the pads to be selected randomly. This way, every time

you hit a pad, one of the four assigned samples will be randomly chosen to play.

To enable Random Zone Play, do the following:

04. From PROGRAM Mode, select any sample on the pad you wish to assign Random Sample Switching.

05. Press [WINDOW]

06. Set the 'Zone Play' field to RANDOM.
