The Stereo Output Mixer

The MPC60 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 DRUM MIX key, then select option

1. The following screen will appear:

This is a graphic simulation of a multichannel stereo mixer, showing 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 three pad banks, press the BANK 2

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 knob. 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 knob. 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 its pad assignment, use

the All Mix Data (Text) function, accessed by selecting option 3 from the

initial DRUM MIX key menu.
