Introduction 4

18. [STEP] Buttons ('<' And '>'):

These buttons will step you through a sequence according to the value of the timing correct setting. See 'STEP EDIT

Mode' on page 47 for more about this.

19. [GO TO] Button:

This button displays the locate window.

Entering a locate point and then pressing [F5] (GO TO) will move you to

the selected position in the sequence.

You can also memorize a locate point. Select a point in your sequence

and press the [GO TO] button. Select number you want to memorize

and press [F2] (CAPTUR) to memorize this point.

20. [BAR] Buttons ('<<' And '>>'):

These buttons let you move through your sequence by bars. See 'STEP EDIT Mode' on page 47 for more about this.

21. [REC] Button:

This button enables recording of your performances. Pressing [REC] + [PLAY START] or [REC] + [PLAY] will begin

recording to a sequence. Any existing events in your sequence will be overwritten by your new performance.

You can punch in by pressing [PLAY] + [REC] during playback and punch out by pressing the [REC] button a second

time. See page 24 for more about punching in and out on your MPC.

New to the MPC5000 is 'Record Ready' mode. When in 'Record Ready' mode, the MPC will start recording when a MIDI

or MMC Start command is received. To enter record ready mode, simply press and release [REC]. The LED will start to

blink, indicating that the MPC is in 'Record Ready' mode. The MPC will start recording upon pressing [PLAY] or receiving

a MIDI start command. See page 23 for more about 'Record Ready' mode.

Another new function added to the MPC5000 is the ability to perform step recording from the MAIN page by holding

down either the [REC] or [OVERDUB] button. For more information, see page 23.

22. [OVERDUB] Button:

This button is quite similar in function to the [REC] button. The only difference is that [OVERDUB] lets you add events

to an existing sequence (overdub) instead of overwriting existing events in the sequence.

Press [OVERDUB] + [PLAY START] or [OVERDUB] + [PLAY] to begin overdubbing a sequence. To perform a punch-in,

press [PLAY] + [OVERDUB] while the sequence is playing. Press [OVERDUB] to punch out while recording.

23. [STOP] Button:

This button stops playback and recording. Quickly pressing this button three times sends an 'all notes off' MIDI

command stops all sounds from playing back.

Note: If your MPC5000 has a 'stuck note' or if a sample is ringing due to improper programming, you can always stop

all sounds by quickly tapping the [STOP] button three times.

24. [PLAY] Button:

This button starts playback of a sequence or song from its current position.
