Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs 134

 The Synth Button

Pressing the [SYNTH] allows quick access to the synth program on the current track, automatically add the first loaded

synth program to the current track, or if no synth program is loaded, create a new, generic synth program for you to

work with. It's best to think of the [SYNTH] button as a quick-fix shortcut to quickly get into synth programming.

 Creating a Synth Program

To create a new synth program, do the following:

Note: the MPC5000 is set to load the preset program automatically when turned on. You can set the MPC5000 to start

without loading the preset program. For more information, see the 'Autoload' section on page 176.

01. Press [MODE] and [PAD 6] (PROGRAM).

This will enter PROGRAM mode.

02. Select the 'Pgm' field and press [WINDOW].

The Program window will be displayed as shown.

03. Press the [F3] (NEW) button.

The New Program window will be displayed as shown.

04. In the 'New name' field, turn the [DATA] wheel.

The name window will be displayed. Set the name for the new program and press

the [F5] (DO IT) button. For more information about setting the name, see the

'Setting Names' section on page 20.

05. In the 'Type' field, select Synth

06. Press [F5] (DO IT).

The new program will be created, and the Basic screen will be displayed.

The new program is a default template of a very basic synth sound. You can play

this sound by hitting the pads.

 Editing with Q-LINK Controls

In addition to the [CURSOR] buttons and the [DATA] wheel, each

parameter in SYNTH Mode is editable by moving its corresponding Q-

LINK control, allowing for quick and intuitive editing of each parameter.

The image to the right displays a chart of which Q-Link control

corresponds to which control on the screen. Every parameter in SYNTH

mode is easily editable using Q-Links.

 Basic Editing of a Synth Program

When a new program is created, the sound is very basic. To adjust the

sound to your liking, do the following:

01. From the MAIN screen, select a track that uses a synth

program.

You can also create a new synth program as detailed in the previous section.

02. Press [MODE] and [PAD 6] (PROGRAM)

This will bring you into PROGRAM mode where you can edit different parameters of

your program.
