Chapter 2: Basic Operation
Setting names
The MPC2500 handles various types of data, from
sound related data (such as samples and programs) to
performance related data (such as sequences and
tracks). These data are managed by names. In this sec-
tion, you will learn how to name different data.
Select a field which you wish to name with the cursor
and turn the DATA wheel. The Name windows will
show up. In the Name windows, you can name the data.
In this window, the cursor is displayed as an underscore instead
of highlights.
You can enter the name, either by using pad or by us-
ing DATA wheel.
Entering letters with DATA wheel
You can change letters selected with a cursor by turn-
ing DATA wheel in the Name window. Move the cur-
sor with RIGHT/LEFT cursor key and enter letters. You
can enter letters using both DATA wheel and pads.
Entering letters with a pad
Two letters are assigned to each pad. By hitting a pad,
the corresponding letter is entered. Below, we will de-
scribe how to enter “Bass 01” instead of “Sequence 01”.
01. Press the UP cursor key to make the first letter capi-
talized.
Pressing the UP cursor key allows you to enter a
capitalized letter.
02. Hit Pad 1 twice.
Hitting Pad 1 once enters A, twice enters B. Each
time you hit the pad, the letter switches between A
and B.
03. Press the RIGHT cursor key and move the cursor to
the right.
If you enter the next letter using a different pad,
the cursor will move to the right automatically.
However, when you enter the letters which are as-
signed to the same pad, you need to press the
RIGHT cursor key to move the cursor manually. In
this example, A and B are assigned to the same pad.
So, you need to move the cursor manually.
04. The next letter is a lower-case letter (“ a ”), so press
the DOWN cursor key.
Pressing the DOWN cursor key allows you to en-
ter lower case letters.
05. Hit Pad 1 once.
The lower case letter “a” is entered.
06. Hit Pad 10 once.
The cursor will move to the right automatically and
a lower-case letter “s” is entered.
07. Press the RIGHT cursor key to move the cursor to
the right and hit the pad 10 once.
08. Press the RIGHT cursor key to move the cursor to
the right and press RIGHT cursor key holding the
[SHIFT] key.
The [SHIFT] + RIGHT cursor key inserts space.
09.
Press the right cursor key to move the cursor one step
to the right, and press the “0” key of Numeric keys.
To enter numeric values, use the numeric keys.
10. Press the “1“ key.
11. Press the RIGHT cursor key to move the cursor to
the right, and press the LEFT cursor key four times
holding the [SHIFT] key.
The [SHIFT] + LEFT cursor keys delete selected letters.
Now “Bass 01” is entered instead of “Sequence 01”.
12. Press [F5] (ENTER) to confirm the entry and close
the window.
Pressing [F4] (CANCEL) cancels the entry and
closes the window. In this case, the name does not
change.
