 Assigning MIDI Notes to Pads in a Sample Program

The performance data you made by hitting the MPC5000’s pads is sent to the internal sampler and sequencer section

directly. You can also send the data as a MIDI signal at the same time. The performance data will be sent as MIDI note

information. To do so, you need to determine which MIDI note to send out when you hit each pad.

Also, when you load sequence data created on external sequencer and saved as a smf or .mid file to the MPC5000 and

play the internal sampler section, you have to determine which pad to play by the MIDI note data in the sequence. Any

midi note number (0-127) can be assigned.

In this section, you will learn how to assign MIDI notes to the pads of a Sample program.

01. In the PROGRAM mode, press the [F3] (NOTE) button.

The NOTE page will be displayed.

02. Select the desired pad by hitting it.

The note number of the selected pad will be highlighted.

03. Select the note number with the [DATA] wheel.

In the upper right corner of the screen, the MIDI GM standard name of the drum,

which represents the selected note number, is displayed. To reset the setting to the

default, press the [F6] (RESET) button. All the notes assigned to the pads will be

reset to the default setting.

 Changing the Default Note Number Assignment

Normally, when you hit a pad, the MPC5000 will output the MIDI note

data assigned to the pad in the program. However, when the selected

track does not have any program assigned, hitting a pad sends out the

default MIDI note number instead of the number set in the program.

When you create a new program, this setting will be used as the default

setting.

01. Press the [MODE] button and then the [PAD 8] (MIDI/SYNC).

The MIDI/SYNC page is displayed.

02. Press the [F3] (NOTE) button.

The NOTE page will be displayed.

03. Select the desired pad by hitting it.

The note number of the selected pad will be highlighted.

04. Select the note number with the [DATA] wheel.

In the upper right corner of the screen, the MIDI GM standard name of the drum, which represents the selected note number, is displayed.

To reset the setting to the default, press the [F6] (RESET) button. All the notes assigned to the pads will be reset to the default setting.
