Functions of a Pad 80
The window closes and the LED of the [16 LEVELS] button is turned on, which indicates you can play in 16 levels. Pressing the [16 LEVELS]
button turns its LED off and deactivates the 16 levels function.
Tip: When you select VELOCITY in the 'Type' field, the velocity of the pad event can be played in 16 levels, but if you
select an option other than VELOCITY, the note variation value will be played in 16 levels. The note variation data can
change the value of a specific parameter when you play the pad’s sample. For example, if you select TUNE in the 'Type'
field, when you hit the pad, the note variation data of TUNE will be sent to the sampler section with the pad event, and
the TUNE value will be changed according to the pad you played.
During Sequence recording, the Note variation data will be recorded with the note event and you can play back the sequence exactly what was
played. The note variation value is also used for the Q- Link slider function.
Muting Sequence Tracks with Pads (Track Mute)
You can mute/unmute sequencer tracks in real time during playback by hitting the pads. This is useful when you have
several instruments assigned to different tracks, so that you can play a song and switch tracks on/off using the pads
while playing back your sequence.
01. Press the [TRACK MUTE] button
02. Press [F1] (TkMUTE)
This brings up the Track Mute page.
'Now' field
Like the 'Now' field in the MAIN page, this field displays the current time
position of the sequence.
'Sequence' field
Like the 'Sequence' field in the MAIN page, you can select a sequence in this field.
Track list
The track list is displayed under the 'Now' field and the 'Sequence' field.
The track list displays the first 8 letters of the track name. The tracks are displayed according to the position of
the pads; Track 1 on the lower left and track 16 on the upper right. You can display 16 pads at one time, but
you can display 1 to 64 tracks by switching pad banks. The track whose track mute is set to off will be
highlighted.
Operation
Hitting a pad when the track mute page is displayed switches the track mute setting of that track instead of playing the
sound.
Solo Function
With the Solo function, you can play back only the selected track.
01. Hit the pad that corresponds to the track that you wish to play, while pressing the [F6] (SOLO) button.
[F6] (SOLO) will be highlighted and MPC5000 will play only the selected track while it mutes the other tracks. You can switch the tracks to play,
by hitting a pad.
02. Pressing [F6] (SOLO) deactivates the solo function.
Selecting Instant Track Mute
The MP5000 has the ability to mute tracks using two different methods. Method one ignore Note On messages. This is
how legacy MPC track muting has worked. This method allows samples and notes that are playing to finish playing
through their entire length. This is useful when using loops, and you want to have a loop finish playing to the end of a
measure, then not play the next time the sequence loops.
Method two is Instant Track Muting, which sends MIDI track volume. This is a method that is new to the MPC5000,
which is useful for when you want to have the track muted immediately. The advantage of this method is that the loop
will continue to play, but at zero volume, allowing the loop to continue playing when the track is unmuted. Using this
method, stuttering, beat juggling between two loops, and other DJ style techniques can be employed.
