The Sequencer 34

Playing an External Sound Module

In the 'Program:' field, select 'OFF' or select a program number to play by choosing the 'Program Number' field (Displayed as 'No.')

and select the desired program number. The MPC5000 will not play an internal program, but instead will 'trigger' an external sound

module such as a synth via MIDI.

 Sending MIDI Program Changes

When you select 'No.' in the 'Program:' field, the 'MIDI Program number' field will appear in the right side of the

'Program:' field. You can set the MIDI Program Number from 1 to 128. The selected MIDI Program Number will be

transmitted from the selected MIDI OUT in 'MIDI' field when the sequence is selected or the [PLAY START] button is

pressed.

While selecting the 'No.' in the 'Program:' field, pressing the [WINDOW] button will open the 'Program Change' window.

You can set a 'MIDI Bank Select' message to transmit together with a

'MIDI Program Change' message in this window. You can also set

whether a 'MIDI Program Change' message recorded in the track is

transmitted or not.

Bank Select: (ON/OFF)

Selects whether a 'Bank Select' message is transmitted or not.

MSB: / LSB: (0-127)

Sets the 'MSB' (Control Change # 0) and 'LSB' (Control Change #32) of

a MIDI Bank Select message from 0 to 127.

Transmit Program Changes in This Track

Selects whether a 'MIDI Program Change' message recorded in the track is transmitted or not.

Transmit Prog Change every loop

Selects whether the sequence will send program changes whenever the sequence loops, or only on start.

 Track Velocity

Track Velocity allows you to adjust the Velocity ratio on the selected Track while the

sequence is playing.

Select the 'VELOCITY%:' field in the MAIN page and adjust the Velocity ratio by

turning the [DATA] wheel from 1% to 200%.

Note: Changing the 'VELOCITY%' has no effect while recording sequence data; it will only affect the playback of a

sequence. If the velocity is set to 127 (maximum), any setting over 100% will have no effect.

 Track Mute

You can set the mute for each track independently. For example, let’s assume you

have recorded a Piano solo on track 1 and another piano solo on track 2. By setting

either track to mute, you can compare these two piano solos and choose the better

one. If you set the mute ON for a track, the MPC5000 won’t play back that track.

Tip: using TRACK MUTE, you can set the track mutes with a pad. For more information, see the 'Muting Sequence

Tracks with Pads' section on Page 80.

 Setting the MIDI Output Channel

You can set the MIDI output channel for each track independently.

You need to set the output channel when you use the MPC5000 to play an external

MIDI sound module. You do not have to set this when you are using the internal

sampler.

The MPC5000 has four MIDI outputs. Channels 1A through 16A will be sent out via

MIDI OUT A, MIDI channels 1B through 16B will be sent out via MIDI OUT B, MIDI channels 1C through 16C will be sent

out via MIDI OUT C, and MIDI channels 1D through 16D will be sent out via MIDI OUT D.
