 Playing the Sample While the Pad Is Being Hit

When you play a sample by hitting the pad, the sample will be played until the end regardless of the length you hit the pad for. This is

useful when you play short drum sounds. However, when you play a long sample such as a phrase sample, it is better to set the MPC500 to

play the sample only when you hold the pad. In this section, you will learn how to play the sample when you hit the pad.

1. In PROGRAM mode, hit the pad you wish to change.

The pad number displayed in the 'Pad number' field will change according to the pad that you hit.

2. In the 'Edit select' field, scroll to choose the Play mode selection.

3. Make sure that the correct layer is selected in the 'Layer' field (displayed above as L1) and select one of the following

options:

ONE SHOT - The MPC500 plays the sample until the end regardless of how long you hold the pad.

NOTE ON - The MPC500 plays the sample only while you hold the pad.

Note: When you loop the sample, set the play mode to NOTE ON. When you select ONE SHOT, the loop feature will not work even when it

is on.

 Playing Several Samples with One Pad

You can assign up to 4 samples to one pad. When you assign more than one sample to a pad, you can play several samples by hitting one

pad.

1. In PROGRAM mode, hit the pad you wish to change.

The pad number displayed in the 'Pad number' field will change according to the pad that you hit.

2. In the 'Edit select' field, select Sample assign.

3. In the 'Sample' field, assign a sample in memory.

You can select the samples currently saved in the MPC500’s memory by turning the [DATA] wheel.

4. Select the 'layer' field (L1) field and scroll to select Layer two (L2).

5. In the 'Sample' field, assign a sample in memory. This sample will be assigned to Layer two (L2).

6. When you hit the pad, both samples, which are assigned to the pad in the '1' field and the '2' fields, will be played at

the same time.

7. Assign the samples to the level three (L3) and level four (L4) if Desired.
