 Per-Sample Panning

Samples slots can be individually panned. To adjust the panning of a

sample, do the following:

01. Select the sample slot you wish to pan.

02. Press the [WINDOW] button.

The PLAY MODE window will be displayed. Each sample slot is represented by

the corresponding number.

03. Adjust the 'Pan' Field to change the stereo position of the

sample within the selected sample slot.

Tip: Try assigning four samples to a pad, turn on Random Zone Play, and play the pad using Note Repeat. Also, try

assigning different sections of a chopped loop to a Random Zone Pad.

 Changing Pitch with Velocity

You can control the sample pitch by velocity (how hard you hit the pad).

01. In the Sample page of PROGRAM mode, hit the pad you wish to edit.

The pad number display in the left of screen will change according to the pad you

hit.

The PITCH FUNCTION window will be displayed.

04. Select the 'V>Pitch' field.

05. 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 pitch will not change with velocity. The larger you set the value, the higher the pitch will be.

 Playing several samples with one pad

You can assign up to 4 samples to one pad. When you assign more than one sample to a pad, you can play several

samples by hitting one pad.

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

The pad number display in the left of the screen will change according to the pad you hit.

The 'Pgm' field in the upper left corner displays the name of the currently selected program. You can change the currently selected program in the

'Pgm' field.

02. Select the '1' field and select the sample to assign to the pad.

You can select the samples currently saved in the MPC5000’s memory by turning the [DATA] wheel.

03. Select the '2' field and select the sample to assign it to the pad.

When you hit the pad, all the samples assigned to the selected pad will play simultaneously.

04. Repeat step 03 for fields '3' and '4'.

Up to four samples can be played per pad.

 Assigning One Sample across All Pads (Auto-Chromatic)

Samples can be automatically assigned chromatically to the drum pads. The 64 drum pads, (PAD A01 - D16) will

correspond to a note range of 35 - 98 on a MIDI keyboard. This allows you to easily play a melody with a single sample.

01. Press [MODE]+[PAD6] (program).

02. Press a pad.
