Continuous Sample Tracks
The MPC5000 plays samples assigned to pads when triggering the pad event. So that, if you have the sequence which
has a long sample and start playing the sequence from a point which is past the actual pad event, the sample may not
be played, because the pad event for the sample may be earlier than the sequence play start point.
A Continuous Sample Track allows samples assigned to the selected Pad in each track to be played from their current
position, whenever [PLAY] or [PLAY START] is pressed. This way, if you are working with say, a four measure loop,
pressing start at bar two will start the loop playing from its correct location at bar two immediately, without having to
wait for a NOTE ON event.
Tip: New to the MPC5000 is the ability to have up to 64 continuous sample tracks, each assigned to a specific pad. This
allows you to have multiple loops, assigned to multiple tracks, usable with the TRACK MUTE function. For more
information on Track Mute, see page 80.
To enable 'Continuous Sample Track' on a selected track, do the
following:
01. In the MAIN mode, select the 'Track' field and press the
[WINDOW] button.
The TRACK NAME window will be displayed.
02. Select the 'Continuous Sample Track' field, and select 'ON'.
The 'Pad' field will be displayed below the 'Continuous Sample Track' field.
03. Choose the pad you wish to have play continuously.
The selected pad will play as a continuous sample. Tracks set to Continuous will be displayed as a '+' in the 'Track Status' field. For more on the
'Track Status' field, see page 22.
Selecting a Track with Function Keys
You can quickly switch tracks using [F3] (TR -)
button and [F4] (TR +) buttons. With [F3] (TR-)
and [F4] (TR +) buttons, you can easily select a
track without moving a cursor to the 'Track' field.
Soloing a Track
When you are working on a sequence that has
many tracks, it is useful to use the solo function to
play back only the selected track. For example,
when you are recording various instruments on
several tracks, you can check the contents of each
track with this feature.
01. In the 'Track' field in the MAIN page, select a track you wish to play back.
02. Press [F6] (SOLO) button and start recording/playback of the sequence.
The [F6] (SOLO) button will be highlighted and the MPC5000 plays back only the selected track and mutes all the other tracks. All Track
Indicators in the Track Status field in MAIN Mode will have an ‘x’ except the select track, to indicate the SOLO feature is on. For more
information on the Track Status field, see page 22.
03. To cancel the solo, press [F6] (SOLO) button again.
The MPC5000 plays back all tracks.
