Chapter 3: Sequence feature

While selecting the “No.” in the Pgm: field and the

cursor on it, pressing the [WINDOW] key will open

the Program Change window.

You can set a “MIDI Bank Select” message to trans-

mit together with a “MIDI Program Change” mes-

sage 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)

You can select whether a “Bank Select” message is

transmitted or not.

MSB:/ LSB: (0-127)

You can set “MSB” (Control Change # 0) and “LSB”

(Control Change #32) of a MIDI Bank Select mes-

sage from 0 to 127.

Transmit program changes in this track: (YES / NO)

You can select whether a “MIDI Program Change”

message recorded in the track is transmitted or not.

Track velocity feature

Allows you to adjust the Velocity ratio on the selected

Track while the sequence is playing.

Select the “V%:” field in the MAIN page and adjust the

Velocity ratio by turning the DATA wheel from 1% to 200%.

Note :

Changing the “V%” has no effect while recording sequence

data, it will only effect the playback of a sequence. If the velocity is

set to 127 (maximum), any setting over 100% will have no effect.

Track mute feature

You can set the track mute in the Mute field on the

MAIN page.

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 MPC2500 won’t play back that track.

Tips : With the [TRACK MUTE] key, you can set the track mute

with a pad. For more information, see the “Setting the track mute

with pads” section on page 47.

Setting the MIDI Output channel

You can set the MIDI output channel in the MIDI field

on the MAIN page.

You can set the MIDI output channel for each track inde-

pendently. You need to set the output channel when you

use the MPC2500 to play an external MIDI sound mod-

ule. You do not have to set this when you are using the

internal sampler.

The MPC2500 has four MIDI outputs. Channels 1A

through 16A will be sent out via MIDI OUT A, MIDI chan-

nels 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.
