Introduction 16

Operating Modes

The MPC5000 has several different modes of operation. Each of these modes handles specific tasks such as arranging

your sequences (SONG mode) or recording your own samples (REC SAMPLE mode).

Each mode can be accessed using the MPC5000’s drum pads.

To enter these modes, press the [MODE] button and tap the

pad associated with the mode you want. The name of each

mode is listed in yellow at the upper right of each pad.

 MAIN Mode ([MAIN])

This is the start page of the MPC5000 and is displayed when

the unit is powered on. Use this mode to record your

sequences. Should you get lost, pressing the [MAIN] button

will always return you to this page.

 Q-LINK Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 1])

Here, the function of the Q-LINK slider can be set. Various

real-time performance data and Effect parameters can be

recorded and entered here, as well as sending MIDI

continuous controllers to external modules.

 DISK Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 3])

Here, you can access the various storage media available to

you. This is where files, such as samples and sequences, can

be saved, or retrieved and edited.

 REC SAMPLE Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 4])

Here is where you can record your own samples for playback on the MPC5000's pads.

 TRIM Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 5])

This is where you can edit individual samples, deleting silence, adjusting overall volume of recorded samples and so

forth.

 PROGRAM Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 6])

Depending on if the type of program is Sample, Keygroup or Synth, this page will allow individual samples to be

assembled into a group for playback on the individual pads, playback of a sample over several pads or allow editing of a

Synth program's virtual analog parameters.

 MIXER Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 7]

This mode is where the mixing of individual pads or complete sequencer tracks can be done graphically, much like using

an external mixing board. Which output the signal is sent to, and what effect bus and how much effect is used per

sound is also determined here.

 MIDI/SYNC Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 8])

Here, you can sync up your MPC5000 with other devices, and control different aspects of MIDI.

 OTHER Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 9])

Here, you can find different settings that don’t fit easily into other categories, such as Master level, pad sensitivity, etc.

 ARP Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 10])

This mode allows you to edit the Arpeggiator. This is mode can also be edited by pressing the [ARPEGGIATOR] button.

For more on the Arpeggiator, see page 145.
