By default, the sequence is set to 2 bars. After recording for 2 bars, the MPC5000 will start playing back the recorded performance. You can add
to your original performance by continuing to play the pads when the track loops. The MPC5000 automatically switches to 'overdub' recording
and adds to the performance.
09. Stop overdub recording by pressing [STOP] button.
10. Press the [PLAY] button to play your recorded performance.
11. If you do not like the performance, you can start a new recording by pressing the [PLAY START] button while
holding the [REC] button.
This deletes the previously recorded performance data and starts a new recording.
12. To add to the already recorded performance, press the [PLAY START] button while holding the [OVERDUB]
button.
This will play back the currently recorded performance, and you can add the new performance by playing the pads.
Tip: If you select another sequence in the Main page, you can record a new performance separately. By playing back
those sequences, you can create an entire song.
Tip: By default, the MPC5000 is set to load a demo sequence automatically when you turn it on. If you wish to remove
the demo sequence and start from scratch, see 'Deleting All Sequences' section on page 33.
'Record Ready' Mode
New to the MPC5000 is 'Record Ready' Mode. When only the [REC] button is pressed and released, the RECORD light
will blink, indicating that the MPC5000 is in 'Record Ready' Mode. The MPC5000 will now wait for a MIDI START
command.
To use Record Ready mode, do the following.
13. Press and release the [REC] button.
The MPC5000's RECORD light will blink, indicating it is now in 'Record Ready' Mode.
14. When you are ready, press 'Start' on the master device.
Recording will start.
Step Recording
The MPC5000 allows step recording right from the MAIN page. When you hit a pad, or when the MPC5000 receives MIDI
data from an external device, the MPC records the event in the current time position (the time displayed in the 'Now'
field). With Step Recording, you can move to the desired time position by setting the time position in the 'Now' field,
and you can add events to the desired time position one by one. This method, recording each event individually when
MPC5000 is in the stop mode, is called step recording. This function allows for complex passages to be recorded with
ease.
To Step Record from the MAIN page, do the following:
01. Stop the current sequence if it is running.
02. Set the NOW to the time you would like to insert notes
03. Press and hold the [REC] or [OVER DUB] button.
04. The MPC is now in STEP RECORD Mode for as long as [REC] or [OVER DUB] is held.
05. Play a pad.
The MPC will record the note played in the current position. There are several options you can set to fine tune your
STEP RECORD performance. Step Recording from the Main Page shares settings with STEP EDIT. For further information
on STEP EDIT, see page 47.
Playing Back a Sequence
You can play back a recorded sequence by pressing the [PLAY START] button. The sequence will be played repeatedly
until you press the [STOP] button. If you press the [PLAY] button again, the MPC5000 will resume the playback from
where the previous play back was stopped.
Playing Several Sequences in Series
You can play back several sequences in a series by using the Next Sequence feature. The Next Sequence feature allows
you to select the next sequence to play, while playing back a sequence, so that you can play the sequences in a series.
While a sequence is playing, you can select the next sequence to be played from the Main page by turning the [DATA]
wheel or using the numeric keypad at the 'Sequence' field.
