'Retrig'

This setting determines if the LFO and Vibrato waveforms will run on their own in the background, or be triggered when a key is

pressed. With Retrig ON, notes with extreme pitch fluctuations will always start from the original pitch. This is useful for vibrato. With

Retrig OFF, modulations will sound more "Natural". This is useful for when the LFO is

set to a slow rate, and you want the change to happen over a long time as you play.

'Sync'

Selects whether the LFO will sync to MIDI. When set to YES, the 'Rate' parameter will be hidden, and the sync parameter will display

different beat synced rates from 8 whole notes to 1/32 notes. When set to NO, the LFO will run independently from the sequencer.

'Fade-in Time'

Increasing this parameter from zero will cause the LFO to increase in amplitude on a

curve. This allows the LFO effect to 'fade in', like the parameter's name would suggest.

'Rate'

These parameters control the speed of the LFO and Vibrato. When the 'Sync' parameter

is set, the 'Rate' controls are hidden.

'Level' (Vibrato Only)

This parameter controls the amount of vibrato that is applied to the program.

 MASTER

The global aspects of a synth program are accessed in the Master page.

To access the Master page, 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.

Note: You can also use the [SYNTH] button as a shortcut to jump to the last Synth program you edited.

03. Press the [F6] (MASTER) button.

This will display the Master page. Here, global parameters for a synth program can be edited. Each parameter can be selected by using the

[CURSOR] to select each field and turning the [DATA] wheel.

04. Edit the parameters of the Master page as desired.

The following parameters are available to be edited.

'Voice Mode' (MONO/POLY)

'Voice Mode' selects whether the synth program will play polyphonically or monophonically. Selecting this parameter

will toggle between MONO and POLY. When set to MONO, the program will only play one note at a time. This is

useful for bass or lead style playing. When set to POLY, many notes can be played at once.

Note: The MPC5000 has 64 notes of polyphony, meaning that it can play up to 64 notes at once.

'Trans'

'Transpose' sets the base pitch of the program in semitones. A program can be transposed up or down to four

octaves (48 semitones).

'Legato'

When 'legato' is turned on, playing a pad and pressing another pad will change pitch to the newly pressed pad

without retriggering the envelopes. This is useful for lead-style programs.

'Glide'

This selects the Glide time of the program. Glide will lag the change in pitch from one note to another when a

second note is played. This parameter selects how long it takes to glide from one note to another. This is useful for

lead-type sounds and sound effects when the program is set to MONO. When a program is set to POLY, new notes

will glide from the last note released.
