01. From the Main page, select a sequence and press [PLAY].

02. While the selected sequence is playing, change the 'Sequence'

field to another sequence using the [DATA] wheel. The screen

will change as follows:

The 'Sequence' field continues to show the sequence number that is currently

playing,

The '>' field shows next sequence that will be played.

03. After playing back the currently selected sequence to the end,

the MPC5000 will start playing back the sequence you've

selected. By repeating this step, you can play back several sequences seamlessly.

When next sequence is selected, you can start to play next sequence immediately by pressing [STEP>] button.

When next sequence is selected, you can cancel selected next sequence by pressing [<STEP] button.

Tip: With the [NEXT SEQ] button, you can select the next sequence with a pad. For more information, see the 'Selecting

a sequence with pads' section on Page 84.

Tip: In SONG mode, you can set the order to play sequences. For more information, see the 'SONG mode' section on

Page 61.

 Punch In/Punch Out

You can start the recording in the middle of the sequence during the playback ('Punch In').

You can also stop the recording in the middle of the sequence and resume the playback ('Punch Out'). This is useful

when you re-record part of the recorded sequence.

Punch In

Press the [PLAY] or the [PLAY START] button to play back a sequence. At the point where you wish to start the recording, press the

[PLAY] button while holding the [REC] button. The MPC5000 will start recording.

If you press the [PLAY] button and the [OVERDUB] button instead, the MPC5000 will start the overdubbing.

Punch Out

If you press the [REC] or the [OVERDUB] button during the recording/overdubbing, the MPC5000 will stop the recording/overdubbing

and resume the playback.

Other Useful Features for Recording Sequences

 Undo and Redo

When overdubbing sequences, you can cancel the last recording and reset to the setting before the recording.

To UNDO a sequence recording, just press the [UNDO] button. The LED of the [UNDO] button will be off and only the

last added recording will be deleted. To restore the last recording, press the [UNDO] button again to light the LED.

Note: You can use the [UNDO] button only for the last recording.

Tips: The MPC5000 is the first MPC to be able to undo and redo sequence recordings while the sequence is playing. This

allows you to actively audition the recording while the sequence plays to decide if you wish to keep the last recording.
