 Simultaneous Playing of Multiple Pads

Simultaneous play will allow the triggering of up to four other pads by hitting just one pad. To turn on simultaneous

play, do the following:

01. Press [MODE] + [PAD 6] to enter PROGRAM Mode.

02. Press [F4] (SIMULT).

This will open the 'Simultaneous Play' tab.

03. In the Pad field, select the pad you wish to use to trigger other

pads.

You can select different pads by selecting the pad with the [DATA] wheel, or you

can select a pad by hitting it while the cursor is in this field.

04. Select the field 'Simult1'

Select the first pad you would like to be triggered simultaneously with the pad selected in step 03.

05. You can select the pad to be played by turning the [DATA] wheel, or by hitting a pad while the cursor is in this

field.

Repeat the process for 'Simult:' numbers two through four.

Now, hitting the pad selected in step 3 will play the pads listed in 'Simult' 1-4 as well as its own sound. Note that if one of the other pads are

struck, the other pads do not play. Only the pad selected in step 3 will trigger the other pads. This can be used to play extremely difficult

percussive parts with ease.

 Setting Envelopes

You can set the envelope for the samples assigned to the pads. The MPC5000 has two envelopes per pad for sample

programs, one is the Amplitude Envelope, which controls volume and the other is the Filter envelope for controlling

sound character.

You can set the sample’s attack time in this field. The larger

the value, the longer it will take for the sound to start. (Fade

in)
