Chapter 6: Creating and Editing Programs

What Are Programs?

A program can be thought of as a drum set. It is a collection of up

to 64 sound assignments with accompanying sound modifying

parameters. When a sound is loaded into the MPC3000’s sound

memory, it cannot be played by pads or from MIDI until it is as-

signed within a program. In a program, each of 64 legal MIDI note

numbers (35-98) is assigned to one of the 128 possible sounds

currently residing in memory. Once assigned to a note number, a

sound can be played in one of three ways:

1. By receiving a Note On message from the MIDI input. (The note

number within the message is used to select which sound to

play.)

2. By playing a front panel drum pad. (Each pad is separately

assigned to one of 64 MIDI note numbers, 35-98, in the MIDI

key’s option 1 screen.)

3. By playing drum tracks in sequences. (The sound played by a

sequenced drum note event is determined by its note number

assignment, 35-98.)

In addition to the 64 sound assignments, each program also con-

tains a number of sound modifying parameters for each of the 64

sound assignments, such as envelope, tuning, filter, mixer, and

velocity response data. Each program also contains some param-

eters, such as the settings of the effects generator, that collectively

affect all sounds.

The MPC3000 has 24 different programs (of which only one can be

active at a time), each with its own unique set of 64 assignments.

Simply by changing the active program number (1-24), all 64 sound

assignments and their sound modifying settings will instantly

change. Each program contains the following data:

• Program name

• For each of 64 pad numbers (A01-D16):

The note number generated when the pad is played

• For each of 64 note numbers (35-98):

Sound assignment

Sound assignment mode and related parameters

Tuning, poly assignment and cutoff assignments

Filter settings

“Indiv out/effects level follows stereo volume” (yes/no)

• Note Variation Slider assignment and parameter range limits
