The bottom row is labeled 'LVL'. Here is where the level setting of each track is set. The dark line in each column represents the relative level of
each track, much like faders on a mixing board. You can use the [CURSOR] buttons to move to each field in MIXER mode, and you can adjust
each level with the [DATA] wheel.
Tip: You can also easily change the settings for tracks by using the Q-LINK controls. For more information on using the
Q-LINK with MIXER Mode, see 'Using Q-LINK Controls with MIXER Mode' on page 91.
Assigning effects to a Track
With the MPC5000, you can route HD tracks to any of four (4) internal FX buses. In this section, we will discuss routing
tracks to the FX buses.
Note: Each FX bus can be assigned to a separate output, allowing for the dry signal and the affected signal to be routed
independently. For more information, see page 162.
01. In HD RECORD mode, press [F3] (TRKMIX).
The TrkMix page will be displayed. Each column indicates tracks 1 though 8 from the left to right and the currently selected track is highlighted.
02. Hit the pad corresponding to the desired track.
The column of the selected track will be highlighted.
03. Select which FX Bus to send the track to.
To adjust this value: simply move the cursor to the FX row, and use the [DATA] wheel.
OF
No effect will be used.
1 to 4
The effect bus number selected (1 to 4) will be used. The track sound will be sent to the selected effect section.
04. Adjust the SEND level by selecting the control in the SEND row by turning the [DATA] wheel.
The display in the SEND row indicates the output setting. The graphical knob display in the FX row indicates the current send level. Increasing
this level will increase the amount of effect for the selected track.
Note: the SEND knob in the SEND row will be disabled if the selected FX bus has DIRECT OUT Disabled. For more
information on DIRECT OUT, see page 150.
Note: Each FX bus can be assigned to a separate output, allowing for the dry signal and the affected signal to be routed
independently. For more information, see page 162.

01. In the HD RECORD mode, press [F3] (TRKMIX).
The TRKMIX page will be displayed.
Each column indicates track 1 though 8 from the left and the currently selected track is highlighted.
02. Hit the pad corresponding to the desired track.
The column for the selected track will now be highlighted.
03. In the MUTE row (Displayed as 'M'), scroll with the [DATA] wheel to select one of the following.

Using Q-LINK Controls with MIXER Mode
In addition to the [DATA] wheel, the Q-LINK controls can be used to change settings within TRKMIX mode. When track
1-4 is selected, the four Q-LINK knobs and sliders will control tracks 1-4. When track 5-8 is selected, the four Q-LINK
knobs and sliders will control tracks 5-8. The selected tracks are indicated with a bold line.
The function of each Q-LINK control is detailed in the section entitled 'Using Q-LINK Controls with MIXER Mode' on page
91.
