Setting the MIDI Input Channel

Normally, the MPC5000 can receive the incoming MIDI data regardless of the MIDI channel, so you do not have to

worry about the MIDI channel of the connected MIDI devices. You can change the setting to receive only the data on a

specific MIDI channel.

01. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE] button and hitting the [PAD 8] (MIDI / SYNC).

02. Press the [F1] (MIDI) button.

The MIDI page will be displayed.

03. Select the 'Active track receive channel' field and select the MIDI channel from which you wish to receive the

data.

If you set this field to ALL, the MPC5000 will receive all channels. If you select any channel from 1 to 16, the MPC5000 will receive only the

selected channel.

Connecting the MPC5000 as a Multitimbral Sound Module

In this section, you will learn how to connect the MPC5000 to a MIDI sequencer as a multitimbral sound module, so

each incoming MIDI channel will play a different sound. Up to 32 different sounds can be played in this manner.

The MPC can be played with a MIDI sequencer, or a keyboard sending multiple MIDI channels. This allows the MPC's

internal Sample and Synth programs to be played by an external source, with each MIDI channel playing a different

sound. To use the MPC5000 as a multitimbral sound source, you need to set the MPC to receive midi Multitimbrally.

The MIDI output of the MIDI Sequencer will be sent to one of the MPC5000's MIDI IN's. For information on setting up

your sequencer, see the sequencer’s operation manual.

01. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE] button and hitting the [PAD 8] (MIDI).

02. Press the [F1] (MIDI) button.

The MIDI page will be displayed.

03. Select the 'Active Track Receive Channel' field and select MULTI.

This will allow the MPC5000 to play a different sound for every incoming MIDI channel.

 Setting MIDI Channel

To set which track plays which sound, do the following:

01. Go to MAIN mode.

02. Assign the first program you wish to play to TRACK 1.

03. Assign the MIDI parameter to the desired MIDI channel and MIDI IN.

The MPC5000 can up to 32 sounds Multitimbrally.

Setting MIDI A01-A16 will receive the corresponding MIDI channel through MIDI IN 1.

Setting MIDI B01-B16 will receive the corresponding MIDI channel through MIDI IN 2.

Tracks set to MIDI C01-D16 will ignore incoming MIDI.

Select Active Track or Sequence with a Program Change

The Sequencer's Active Track can be selected by sending a Program

Change message from an external MIDI source. To turn on this

option, set the 'MIDI Program Change' Field to 'TRACK' as shown on

the right.

You can also select sequences with Program Change messages by

setting the 'MIDI Program Change' Field to 'Sequence'.

And lastly you can logically select Programs with a Program Change

message by setting the 'MIDI Program Change' Field to 'Program'.
