Chapter 7: The MIXER/EFFECTS Key

The Stereo Output Mixer

The MPC3000 has a 64 channel stereo mixer, providing a unique

volume and pan value for each of the 64 note number assignments

(35-98) in the active program.

To adjust the stereo mixer, press the MIXER/EFFECTS key, then

select option 1. The following screen will appear:

This is a graphic simulation of a multi-channel stereo mixer, show-

ing a simulated volume slider and pan knob for each of the 16 pads

in pad bank A (A01-A16).

To show the settings for the other 3 pad banks, press the PAD

BANK key until the desired bank (A-D) is active.

To adjust the volume of a particular sound:

1. Press the pad for the sound that you want to adjust; the small

triangle on the screen will move directly above the number of the

selected pad.

2. Rotate the data entry control. As you turn it, the graphic volume

slider will move up or down, indicating that the volume of the

selected sound is being changed.

To adjust the pan position of a particular sound:

1. Press the pad that you want to adjust; the small triangle on the

screen will move directly above the number of the selected pad.

2. Press the CURSOR UP key. The small triangle will now point

upwards, toward the graphic pan knob.

3. Rotate the data entry control. As you turn it, the graphic pan

knob will move between one of 15 pan positions, indicating that

the pan setting of the selected pad is being changed.

Notice that the screen displays pad numbers, yet the mixer contains

volume and pan data for each of the 64 note number assignments

(35-98) in the active program. For each pad number on the screen,

the volume and pan data shown is from the note number (35-98)

within the active program to which the pad number is currently

assigned (in the MIDI key, option 1 screen). If you want to be able

to adjust mix data by selecting a specific note number regardless of

1 2 ... 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 ... 275 276
