Introduction 2

4. [INPUT THRU] Button:

Using this button, you can mix the input signal from the [RECORD IN] jacks to the [STEREO OUT] jacks. This way, an

additional source can be monitored through the MPC5000's outputs without the need for a mixing board. You can also

use the MPC5000’s internal effects on this signal. The level of the input signal is controlled by the [REC GAIN] knob. For

more information, see the 'Input Thru” section at page 92.

5. [PAD BANK] Buttons:

These buttons let you switch between pad banks A, B, C, and D, allowing you to have 64 total pads. The currently

active bank will be illuminated.

6. [FULL LEVEL] Button:

When this button is engaged, the MPC's pads always play back at their maximum volume. Pads will be recorded at

Maximum MIDI velocity (127). When the button is disengaged, the pads can be played using their entire dynamic

range, with the pads getting quieter as you hit softer. Pads will be recorded using the entire MIDI range of velocity (0

-127).

7. [16 LEVEL] Button:

This button allows you to use all 16 drum pads to play one sample with increasing velocity, increased filter effect, or

play a single sample at 16 different pitches.

In other words, if 16 LEVEL is set to Velocity, all of the pads play one sample but the velocity of that sample increases

as you move from [PAD 1] to [PAD 16]. See page 79 for more about this feature.

8. [TRACK MUTE] Button:

This button calls up the TRACK MUTE page where you can mute or solo your sequence’s individual tracks using the

pads, or mute individual pads in the current program. For more on Track mutes, see page 80. For more information on

Pad mutes, see page 82.

9. [NEXT SEQ] Button:

This button calls up the NEXT SEQ page, where you can switch sequences by pressing a pad. For more information, see

the 'Selecting a Sequence to Play with Pads' section on page 84.

10. NUMERIC KEYPAD

These buttons are used to enter numeric data directly. Enter numbers with these buttons into selected numeric fields

and press the [ENTER] button. If you are entering numbers with a decimal value, enter the number ignoring the

decimal point. (Example: for 120.5, enter 1205.). If you make a mistake, it is possible to cancel by pressing the

[SHIFT] button. If you use the [CURSOR] buttons, [DATA] wheel, or [MAIN] button while you are entering data with

the numeric buttons, the input will be canceled and the data returns to its original value.
