Introduction 6
30. [PAD1] Through [PAD16]:
These drum pads let you trigger the samples in your MPC, or play Synth Programs. These pads also let you enter
various modes, choose sequences, and mute tracks.
31. [SYNTH]
to the MPC 5000 is a virtual analog synth, with which you can create your own synth programs. Synth programs make
sound by a method called 'subtractive synthesis'. From smooth, whistling leads, to huge, booming basses, to lush,
spacious pads, synth programs can be used to create a vast array of sounds.
Pressing the [SYNTH] button allows for 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.
32. [ARP ON/OFF]
This button allows you to turn on or off the arpeggiator quickly. This button will light when the arpeggiator is on for the
current track.
33. [ARPEGGIATOR]
New to the MPC5000 is the arpeggiator. The arpeggiator will play in the order the pads being held down, or any notes
being held down on an external MIDI keyboard. This will allow for rapid playing not always possible when playing
manually. This is similar to pressing [NOTE REPEAT], but the advantages of an Arpeggiator (or 'Arp' for short) are that
the notes play in a defined pattern. For more on the Arpeggiator, see page 145.
