14 Introduction Basic Concepts and Terminology Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following terms and concepts since you’ll encounter them throughout this manual. Sequence A sequence is the most basic 'building block' of music you can compose on the MPC. MIDI information from the MPC’s pads, buttons, and Q-LINK controls (or an external keyboard) are recorded to tracks within a sequence. Each sequence has 64 tracks and the MPC5000 can hold up to 99 separate sequences at one time.
15 The MPC5000 supports 16-bit samples at any sample rate (audio imported at sample rates higher than 44.1k is automatically downsampled during playback). Samples can be either mono or stereo. Drum Pad The MPC5000 has 16 pressure sensitive pads that are used to trigger sounds. These pads are arranged in 4 banks called 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' These banks can be quickly selected using the [PAD BANK] buttons giving you easy access to 64 different sounds. Use PROGRAM mode to assign samples to these pads.
16 Introduction Operating Modes The MPC5000 has several different modes of operation. Each of these modes handles specific tasks such as arranging your sequences (SONG mode) or recording your own samples (REC SAMPLE mode). Each mode can be accessed using the MPC5000’s drum pads. To enter these modes, press the [MODE] button and tap the pad associated with the mode you want. The name of each mode is listed in yellow at the upper right of each pad.
17 EFFECTS Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 11]) This is where different digital effects, such as reverb, delay and flange can be applied to different pads etc. master effects, such as parametric EQs and compression can be applied to the Master output. Also, SEQ EDIT Mode ([MODE]+[Pad 12]) This is where sequences can be edited and transposed, as well as other types of editing.
Chapter 2: Basic Operation In this chapter, we will describe the basic operation of the MPC5000. MAIN Page This is the main screen of the MPC5000, where you record and play back sequences. You can go back to this page at any time by pressing the [MAIN] button. If at any time you get lost while operating the MPC5000 and want to go back to this page, simply press the [MAIN] button. You cannot go back to the MAIN page by pressing [MAIN] button while processing (e.g. Recording, loading/saving etc...).
20 Basic Operation [MODE] Button With the MPC5000, each function (such as recording samples, editing samples, assigning samples to each pad, editing sequence data, loading from memory cards, etc…) has a separate screen. These screens are called 'modes'. For example, you will use the RECORD mode to record samples, and the TRIM mode to edit samples etc. By pressing the [MODE] button and hitting a pad, you can switch modes. The mode that a pad corresponds to is displayed above each pad.
Chapter 3: The Sequencer The MPC5000 has a sequencer feature that allows you to record/playback your performance. With the sequencer feature, you can record the performance you created with the pads, and by playing back the recorded data, you can reproduce your performance. The actual performance will be recorded on a track within a sequence. For more information on sequences and tracks, see the section entitled 'Basic Concepts and Terminology' on page 14.
22 The Sequencer 'Sequence' A Sequence is the most basic unit when creating data with the MPC5000. Performance data from the MIDI keyboard or pad can be recorded on each track within a sequence. You can select a sequence in this field by turning the [DATA] wheel, or typing in a number with the [NUMERIC KEYPAD]. You can have up to 99 sequences in memory at any one time. Empty sequences are indicated as (unused). All the settings in the MAIN page can be set separately for each sequence.
23 By default, the sequence is set to 2 bars. After recording for 2 bars, the MPC5000 will start playing back the recorded performance. You can add to your original performance by continuing to play the pads when the track loops. The MPC5000 automatically switches to 'overdub' recording and adds to the performance. 09. Stop overdub recording by pressing [STOP] button. 10. Press the [PLAY] button to play your recorded performance. 11.
24 The Sequencer 01. From the Main page, select a sequence and press [PLAY]. 02. While the selected sequence is playing, change the 'Sequence' field to another sequence using the [DATA] wheel. The screen will change as follows: The 'Sequence' field continues to show the sequence number that is currently playing, The '>' field shows next sequence that will be played. 03. After playing back the currently selected sequence to the end, the MPC5000 will start playing back the sequence you've selected.
25 Erase You can delete a certain pad performance by using [ERASE] button. There are two ways to use this feature: by deleting in real-time during overdub, or by selecting a pad and part to delete in the Erase page. Deleting In Real Time 01. Press [PLAY START] and [OVERDUB] to start overdub recording. 02. Press the pad you wish to delete while holding down the [ERASE] button.
26 The Sequencer 07. Press [F5] (DO IT). The operation starts and the events of the selected pad within the selected area will be deleted. Erase can also be used to delete events from tracks other than the currently selected track, or to delete only specific types of events. You can also specify only a certain time range from which to delete events. Tip: When you delete events with the Erase field set to ALL EVENT, the MPC5000 will delete other events in the selected area as well as pad events.
27 04. In the 'RANGE' field, select the area to correct the timing. 05. In the 'Note' field, hit the pad you wish to correct the timing. To correct the timing of all events, leave it as ALL. To correct the timing of only events on a specific pad, hit the pad. You can select several pads. If you hit a different pad by mistake, you can cancel the selection by hitting the pad again. To restart the pad selection, turn the [DATA] wheel to the left.
28 The Sequencer 'Sound' field Here, you can select what your metronome will sound like. Seven different sounds are available to use. MPC CLICK METRO TICK CLAP SHAKER TAMBOURINE SIDESTICK 1 SIDESTICK 2 'Volume' field Controls the overall level of the Metronome from 10% to 100%. 'Out' field Selects the output that the Metronome signal will be sent to. The following outputs are available: LR The Metronome will be output to the stereo out.
29 The Locate window will be displayed as shown on the right. In the Go to' field, the now time in the MAIN page is displayed. You can enter the locate point you wish to save by using the numeric keys or the [DATA] wheel. 02. Move the cursor to a one of the 'Locate' fields and press the [F2] (CAPTUR) button. Locating to a saved Locate point 01. In the MAIN page, press the [GO TO] button while the sequence is stopped. The Locate window will be displayed. 02.
30 The Sequencer Setting Tempo You can set the beats per minute, or tempo, in the MAIN page by selecting the 'BPM' field. You can set the BPM for a sequence between 30.0 and 300.0 beats per minute. When the MPC5000 is set to follow an external source via MIDI clock, the 'BPM' field will display 'EXT', along with the tempo being received in brackets for external tempo.
31 Setting the Loop for a Sequence By default, the MPC5000 has the sequence loop feature on. It is useful when you create a short sequence. With the sequence loop feature, you can overdub a new performance on top of a previous performance, allowing you to layer your tracks while playing back a sequence repeatedly. However, when you are working on a long song, created as a single sequence, it may be better to loop only the part of the song that you are working on.
32 The Sequencer 03. In the 'Sequence name' field, enter the new name. For more information for setting the name, see the 'Setting the name' section on Page 20. 04. Press [F4] (CLOSE) button. This will close the window and goes back to MAIN page. Changing the Default Name for a Sequence Usually, when you create a new sequence, the name will be set to the default name as 'Sequence## (## will be the sequence number)' automatically. You can change the default name. 01.
33 The DELETE SEQUENCE window will be displayed. 04. Press [F5] (DO IT) button. This will delete the selected sequence and changes its name to 'unused'. Deleting All Sequences You can delete all the sequence data in the memory at one time. 01. In the MAIN mode, select the 'Sequence' field and press the [WINDOW] button. 02. Press [F1] (DELETE) button. The NAME SEQUENCE window will be displayed. The DELETE SEQUENCE window will be displayed. 03. Press [F3] (ALLSEQ) button.
34 The Sequencer Playing an External Sound Module In the 'Program:' field, select 'OFF' or select a program number to play by choosing the 'Program Number' field (Displayed as 'No.') and select the desired program number. The MPC5000 will not play an internal program, but instead will 'trigger' an external sound module such as a synth via MIDI. Sending MIDI Program Changes When you select 'No.
35 Changing a Track Name 01. In the 'Track' field in the MAIN page, select a track you wish to change the name on. 02. Press the [WINDOW] button. The TRACK NAME window will be displayed as shown. 03. In the 'Track Name' field, enter the new name. For more information for setting the name, see the 'Setting the name' section on Page 20. 04. Press [F4] (CLOSE) button. This closes the window and goes back to the MAIN page.
36 The Sequencer 06. Press [F2] (DELETE) button. The DELETE TRACK window will be displayed. 07. Press [F3] (ALLTRK) button. The DELETE ALL TRACKS window will be displayed as shown. 08. Press [F5] (DO IT) button. That deletes all the tracks and changes their names to 'unused'. Track Lock Individual tracks in a sequence can be locked for editing.
37 Continuous Sample Tracks The MPC5000 plays samples assigned to pads when triggering the pad event. So that, if you have the sequence which has a long sample and start playing the sequence from a point which is past the actual pad event, the sample may not be played, because the pad event for the sample may be earlier than the sequence play start point.
38 The Sequencer MIDI Sequencer Features When you are playing the internal sound module with the pads, you can start recording just by selecting the desired program in the 'Program' field in the MAIN page. However, the MPC5000 can be used as a MIDI sequencer. By connecting an external MIDI keyboard to it, you can record the data from the keyboard and control the external sound module. About MIDI...
39 Tip: If you select another sequence in the 'Sequence' field, you can record a new performance separately. By playing back those sequences, you can create one whole song. Handling the Sustain Pedal In this section, you will learn how to handle sustain pedal information when you are using an external MIDI keyboard with the MPC5000 as a sequencer. Sustain pedal data is a MIDI event used to make the sound continue after a key on the keyboard is released. Usually a foot switch controls this data.
Chapter 4: Editing Sequences There are two ways to edit sequences. Using SEQ EDIT mode, you can edit entire regions of events at one time with one sweeping action. Using STEP EDIT and GRID EDIT mode, you can edit your sequences in finer detail, manipulating every event individually. In this section, you will learn about the SEQ EDIT mode, where you can edit entire regions at one time. SEQ EDIT Mode can be accessed by pressing the [MODE] button and then [PAD 12].
42 Editing Sequences 05. In the 'Mode' field, specify how to copy the data to the destination. REPLACE The MPC5000 will overwrite the destination with the source data.

'P (pad)' field You can set the pad number in this field.
49 'V (velocity)' field You can set the velocity of the note event. In the MIDI standard, the speed used to trigger a note is called velocity. The velocity is shown in 127 steps, with 127 the maximum. Pitch Bend Event You can set the pitch bend. Normally this event is used to control the pitch in real time. Control Change Event The control change, which is used for various applications, is the most versatile event in the MIDI standard.
50 STEP EDIT Mode Effect Select Event This event is used to switch the effect sets within the sequence. Tempo Change Event Tempo change event is used to change the tempo within the sequence. The tempo change event is different from other events. It does not belong to a specific track. By selecting TEMPO in the 'View' field, you can display the tempo change event information separately, regardless of the selected track.
51 Effect Automation Event This is the event you will get when you record FX Q-link controller data with sliders and knobs. Track Mute Event This is the event you will get when you record a Track Mute Event. Pad Mute Event This is the event you will get when you record a Pad Mute Event. Copying / Pasting an Event To copy the selected event and paste it to another location, proceed as follows. 01. In the event list, select the event that you wish to copy.
52 STEP EDIT Mode Step Recording In the STEP EDIT mode, when you hit a pad, or when the MPC5000 receives MIDI data from an external device, you can record the event in the current time position (the time displayed in the 'Now' field). Move the event to the desired time position by moving through the event list with the up/ down cursor buttons, or by setting the time position in the 'Now' field, and you can add events to the desired time position one by one.
53 Track Lock Individual tracks in a sequence can be locked for editing. This will allow data on that track to be protected when performing global functions, and protects from accidental adding, deleting or changing the information on the track. A Track's LOCK Status is indicated by the padlock icon in the upper right corner of the display. To lock or unlock a track, do the following: 01. Select the TRACK LOCK icon 02. Turn the [DATA] Wheel, or press the [+] button to lock the track.
Chapter 6: GRID EDIT Mode The MPC5000 has the GRID EDIT mode for editing or entering Pad events and Note events in a sequence. In GRID EDIT mode, you can enter and edit Events in the Graphic Matrix Editor. About Grid Edit Each track in the MPC5000 contains performance data entered with the pads, or with an external MIDI keyboard. In GRID EDIT mode, you can enter or edit (Copy, Delete, Move, etc.) the Pad Event, MIDI notes, or controller data on a graphical matrix.
56 GRID EDIT Mode Basic operation Operation in the Event area When the cursor is in the 'Now' field, pressing the down cursor button moves the cursor to the Event area. The cursor in the Event area is at the grid where the vertical and horizontal markers intersect. Your editing operations will be affected in the selected grid. You can move the cursor in the Event area by the cursor buttons. You can also move the cursor to horizontal directions by turning the [DATA] wheel.
57 Tip: Note variation data, which is used for the Q-LINK sliders or [16 LEVELS] function, is the information used to control the sound of a pad, and is saved in the track along with the pad event. With the note variation data, you can switch the sounds of the pad even when you are playing back the same pad. See STEP EDIT mode on page 47 for more info on the various Note Variation parameters.
58 GRID EDIT Mode 01. In the Event list, select the Grid and the Range that you wish to move. You can select several Pads by pressing the up/down [CURSOR] buttons while holding in [SHIFT].

Chapter 13: Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs In this section, you will learn how to edit a program. This is done in the PROGRAM mode, which can be accessed by pressing the [MODE] button and then the [PAD 6] (PROGRAM). Sample Programs Creating a Sample Program To create a new sample program, proceed as follows. Note: the MPC5000 comes from the factory with preset sounds loaded on the internal ROM. These programs are set to load automatically when the MPC5000 is turned on.
120 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs 03. Select the first sample field, labeled as '1' and select the sample to assign to the pad. In the example shown, the sample DJ_RUBS is displayed in the first sample field. You can select any sample currently stored in the MPC5000’s RAM by turning the [DATA] wheel. You can assign samples by selecting '2' through '4' fields. If you assign samples to '2' through '4' fields, you can play several samples at once.
121 04. Adjust the field to the desired value while checking the level by hitting the desired pad. If you set this field to 0, the sample will be played back at the maximum level regardless of the amount of pressure. The larger you set the value, the bigger the difference of the level will be. 05. Press [F4] (CLOSE) to return to the Sample page. You can set more detailed settings for sample volume by using the other parameters in the Amp Envelope window.
122 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs Per-Sample Panning Samples slots can be individually panned. To adjust the panning of a sample, do the following: 01. Select the sample slot you wish to pan. 02. Press the [WINDOW] button. The PLAY MODE window will be displayed. Each sample slot is represented by the corresponding number. 03. Adjust the 'Pan' Field to change the stereo position of the sample within the selected sample slot.
123 The 'Pitch Function' window will be displayed. 05. Press [F5] (AUTO) to open the Auto Chromatic Assign window. In the Source and Original key fields, the display characters show the MIDI note number and drum pad number: 36/A01 is MIDI note 36/pad bank A, drum pad number 1. 06. Select the sound and MIDI note number to be assigned in the Source field. You can select the sound with the drum pads or the DATA wheel (the name of the sound also appears).
124 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs This parameter is the level that the sample reaches when the decay portion is finished. This parameter has no effect on samples set to ONE SHOT. 'Sus Dec' (Sustain Decay) field This parameter determines the time it takes for the 'Sustain Decay' stage to drop to zero. If this parameter is set to 100, the envelope will sustain for as long as the key is held down. This parameter has no effect on samples set to ONE SHOT.
125 Using Filters with Sample Programs Each pad of a sample program has a 'Filter'. You can edit the sound of the sample by editing this parameter. This is done in the FltLFO page of PROGRAM mode. Setting the Filter 01. In PROGRAM mode, press the [F2] (FltLFO) button. The 'FltLFO' page will be displayed. You can select the program to edit in the 'Pgm' field. 02. Select the pad you wish to edit for the sound by hitting it. The 'Pad' field displays the pad number of the selected pad.
126 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs Note: If you notice distortion while using the FILTER, you can use the 'Att' parameter to adjust the level of the signal sent to the filter, and remove the unwanted distortion. Controlling the Filter with Velocity You can control the cutoff frequency of the filter by velocity. With this feature, you can control the sound by changing the velocity used to hit the pad. 01. In the PROGRAM mode, press the [F2] (FILTER) button. The FILTER page will be displayed. 02.
127 Program Tune An Entire Sample Program can be tuned up to +/-36.00 Semitones. To Transpose a Sample program, do the following: 01. In PROGRAM Mode, select the 'Pgm Tune' field as indicated on the right. 02. Turn the [DATA] wheel, or use the [+]/[-] or Numeric Keypad to adjust the program tuning. Mute groups Normally, when you hit a pad when another pad is played back, the samples of these two pads will be played back overlapped.
128 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs POLY The MPC5000 overlaps the sound. MONO The MPC5000 does not overlap the sound. If you select MONO, when you hit the pad several times, only the last pad that was hit will be played. Note: If you set the 'Play' field to MONO, each pad sample cannot be played with Polyphony, regardless of the Voice overlap setting. When you use the voice overlap function, set the 'Play' field to POLY. Mute Target feature Mute Target works similarly to Mute Group.
129 Purge Unused Samples When you use the MPC5000 to record or load several samples, you may have unused samples (samples not assigned to any pads in the program) in the MPC5000’s memory. In this case, it is time consuming to browse the contents of the program for unused samples and delete them one by one. With the PURGE function, you can delete all the unused samples at the same time. 01. In PROGRAM mode, press [F1] (SAMPLE). The SAMPLE page will be displayed. 02. Press [F6] (PURGE).
130 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs KEYGROUP Type Program The MPC5000 also has a program type called KEYGROUP. A Keygroup program is a keymapped, multisampled program, which allows several samples to be played chromatically across a standard keyboard. Keygroups use velocity switching, crossfading, and key ranges to yield a very realistic sound across the entire keybed. Up to 128 keygroups, each with up to 4 samples can be used, to a total of 512 samples.
131 05. To select different keygroups, select the number field to the left of the sample list as indicated on the right and scroll with the [DATA] wheel. you can also select MULTI, to allow for editing all keygroups at once. Tip: you can also select keygroups two convenient ways. Select a Keygroup directly by pressing and holding the [SHIFT] button and striking a pad. Keygroups will be selected by number. In other words, striking pad 16 will select keygroup #16.
132 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs Keytracking Samples can be individually set to ignore their keygrouping, and play in the pitch of their Root across the entire keygroup range. This is helpful for percussive sounds, or for particular effects. To turn off keytracking for individual samples, do the following: 01. Select the TUNE Field on the PROGRAM Page. 02. Press the [WINDOW] key. 03. In the KeyTrk Column, remove the check mark for each sample you wish to turn Keytracking off.
133 Synth Programs New to the MPC5000 are virtual analog, or 'Synth' programs. These differ from sample programs in that rather than using pre recorded sounds, the sound is created by a method called 'subtractive synthesis'. From smooth, whistling leads, to huge, booming basses, to lush, spacious pads, this method of creating sound can be used to create a vast array of sounds.
134 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs The Synth Button Pressing the [SYNTH] allows quick access to the synth program on the current track, automatically add the first loaded synth program to the current track, or if no synth program is loaded, create a new, generic synth program for you to work with. It's best to think of the [SYNTH] button as a quick-fix shortcut to quickly get into synth programming.
135 Note: you can also use the [SYNTH] button as a shortcut to jump to the last Synth program you edited. 03. Press the [F1] (BASIC) button. This will display the Basic page. Here, the most commonly used parameters for a synth program can be edited. Each parameter can be selected by using the [CURSOR] to select each field and turning the [DATA] wheel, or by using the Q-Links, as detailed in the section 'Editing with Q-LINK Controls' on page 134.
136 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs 'Attack' This parameter determines how long an envelope will take to reach maximum level when a pad is struck. Sounds ranging from a slow swelling violin to drum-like attacks are possible by adjusting this parameter. 'Decay' This parameter determines how long the sound will take to go from the attack phase to the sustain portion of the envelope.
137 PWM PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. This waveform is special, in that it is a Pulse wave whose shape is hard-wired to LFO 2. This gives this waveform a range of sounds from a classic warbling tone, to a buzzing, harsh sound, rich with overtones. When this wave is selected, an additional knob becomes available called 'DEPTH'. This knob controls amount of control LFO2 has over the width of the PWM oscillator. 'Env1> VCO1' This knob sets how much effect envelope 1 will have on the pitch of VCO1.
138 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs 04. Edit the parameters of the VCF page as desired. The following parameters are available to be edited. 'Filter Cutoff' Sets the frequency start point for the filter. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 135 for more information. 'Filter Res' Sets the amount of emphasis to be applied to the cutoff frequency of the filter. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 135 for more information. 'Type' Selects the type of filter to be used.
139 'Env1>Cutoff' This parameter determines how much of an effect the envelope will have on the filter. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 135 for more information. 'LFO>Cutoff' The knob sets the amount of effect the selected LFO will have on filter cutoff. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
140 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs 'LFO>Amp' The knob sets the amount the selected LFO will affect the volume, creating a tremolo effect. The corresponding QLink [AFTER] button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative. 'Program Pan' This parameter controls where the program's sound will play in the stereo field. 50 is center. 0 is panned hard left, and 100 is panned hard right. 'Stereo Spread' This parameter sets the stereo position of the individual VCOs.
141 'Retrig' This setting determines if the LFO and Vibrato waveforms will run on their own in the background, or be triggered when a key is pressed. With Retrig ON, notes with extreme pitch fluctuations will always start from the original pitch. This is useful for vibrato. With Retrig OFF, modulations will sound more "Natural". This is useful for when the LFO is set to a slow rate, and you want the change to happen over a long time as you play. 'Sync' Selects whether the LFO will sync to MIDI.
142 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs 'Random Range' Controls the amount of random detuning for the VCOs. This is good for simulating older, less stable analog style synthesizers. Random Range is useful for fattening up pads, leads, and all sorts of other synth type sounds. 'Pitchbend' This parameter sets the Pitchbend range in semitones for use with an external MIDI controller's Pitchbend wheel. Up to 12 semitones (one octave) can be set.
143 For more information for setting the name, see the 'Setting Names' section on Page 20. 04. Press [F4] (CLOSE) button. It closes the window and goes back to PROGRAM mode. Copying a program You can copy a program to make a new program. 01. In the 'Pgm' field in PROGRAM mode, select the program that you wish to copy. 02. Press the [WINDOW]. The Program window will be displayed. 03. Press [F5] (COPY). 04. In the 'New name' field, set the name for the new program.
144 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs Assigning MIDI Notes to Pads in a Sample Program The performance data you made by hitting the MPC5000’s pads is sent to the internal sampler and sequencer section directly. You can also send the data as a MIDI signal at the same time. The performance data will be sent as MIDI note information. To do so, you need to determine which MIDI note to send out when you hit each pad. Also, when you load sequence data created on external sequencer and saved as a smf or .
Chapter 14: Arpeggiator The MPC5000’s Arpeggiator is a powerful new feature that lets you play repeating patterns in perfect time, much like Note Repeat, simply by holding down one or more notes. This is very useful feature because it allows you to play extremely complex (or repetitive) passages of music with ease. Editing the Arpeggiator To use the Arpeggiator, try the following: 01. From the MAIN page, select a track you wish to use with the Arpeggiator.
146 Arpeggiator 06. Set the desired octave range in the 'Octave' field. Up to three octaves up or down can be set. For example, if the Arpeggiator is set to an 'up' pattern, and you have the 'Octave' field set to 1, if you held down the notes C3, E3 and G3, the arpeggiator would play the following repeating pattern: C3, E3, G3, C4, E4, G4 The original octave is always played first.
147 Try experimenting further with the Arpeggiator, along with latching. You will find the Arpeggiator a powerful addition to the live performance aspect of the MPC5000. Using the Arpeggiator with Pre-Recorded Tracks The Arpeggiator can also be used with previously recorded sequencer tracks. To do so, do the following: 01. Select a track in the current sequence with previously recorded data. For best results, use a synth or MIDI program rather than a Drum type program. 02.
Chapter 15: Effects In this section, you will learn how to select and edit effects. The MPC5000 has four stereo effect busses and each buss can have two different effects assigned to it. Busses can be combined in pairs to allow a total of four effects per buss. Additionally, a master EQ and compressor are available for the Stereo outputs. Each pad can be routed to one of the four effects busses, and each effect buss can be routed independently to any of the available outputs.
150 Effects 13. Play the pad. The effected sound will play from the [STEREO OUT]. Tip: You can apply the effect to several pads. The effect of the FX 1 is applied to all the pads whose FX SEND are set to 1 in the FX SEND page of the MIXER mode. Tip: You can adjust the send level column to adjust the amount of the reverb for each pad. Tip: You can edit the effects in detail. For more information about detailed editing of each effect, see the 'Editing Effects' section on page 151.
151 This will assign the desired pad to effects buss 2. Note that the Send Column's control for this pad has now disappeared. This is because as the signal diagrams on page 150 show, when DIRECT is set to OFF, the effects buss acts as an insert, and 100% of the dry signal is automatically sent to the effect. Adding additional Effects to the Effects Buss Each effects buss can have two effects assigned to it. This can allow for extremely complex, wild sounding effects.
152 Effects Effect List Below is a brief overview of each effect type. Flanger / Flanger Sync Flanger is an effect that uses a delay line to emulate the classic warbling effect produced using two analog tape machines together. This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this. WetDry Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100% effected. Rate Controls the speed of the flanger effect.
153 Shape Controls the shape of the LFO, varying between a TRIANGLE (0) and a SQUARE (100) wave. Phaser 1 / Phaser 2 / Phaser Sync The Phaser is a classic effect that is created by ganging multiple all-pass filter stages to create “notches,” or sharp dips in the frequency spectrum. The frequencies of these all-pass filters are usually modulated by an LFO to create a dramatic sweeping sound. This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this.
154 Effects HP / LP Shelving Filter This filter differs from the standard filter type in that all frequencies affected by the cutoff point are attenuated equally. Freq Controls the frequency at which the filter will affect the incoming signal. Res Controls the emphasis of the frequency at the cutoff point. Gain Adjusts the level of the output signal. 2-Band, 2-shelf PEQ This effect is a combination of a two-band parametric equalizer and two shelving filters.
155 Delay Mono / Delay Mono BeatSync Delay takes the original signal, waits a specified period of time, and then plays it back, over and over. Mono delay sums the signal input to mono before applying the delay effect. The result is a less complex but more “focused” sound. WetDry Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100% effect. Time Sets the amount of time between the original signal, and the delayed signal.
156 Effects Delay Tape BeatSync Tape Delay is a system that uses an analog tape and a series of tape heads to produce an echo effect. The original signal is written to the tape, and then reread by the heads. This delay type yields a very distinct echo sound, often heard in Reggae and Dub style music, as well as on guitar. WetDry Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100% effected.
157 Gain 3 Controls the volume level of tap 3. Distortion Fuzz This popular effect uses extreme hard clipping. This clipping at extreme settings can turn a standard waveform into a square wave, producing an almost "chainsaw" effect. WetDry Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100% effected. Drive Controls the intensity of the distortion effect. Low Tone shaper specifically targeting the boost / cut of low frequencies.
158 Effects -Clip Controls the amount of clipping applied to the waveform below the zero crossing. Low Selects how much the low frequencies of the signal will be affected by the distortion. Mid Selects how much the mid frequencies of the signal will be affected by the distortion. High Selects how much the high frequencies of the signal will be affected by the distortion. Output Controls the overall output of the distortion.
159 Thresh Sets the level at which the compressor will start functioning. Ratio This sets how much compression will affect the volume of the incoming signal. For instance, with a ratio of 4:1, the incoming signal would have to increase by four decibels in order to increase 1 decibel at the output. Knee This sets whether the compression effect will be hard or soft. A ‘soft knee' response will gradually slope to its maximum setting, and a ‘hard knee’ response will respond much quicker.
160 Effects Dnsity This setting controls the amount of individual reverberations that will be contained in the affected output. Diffuse Controls how much the reverberations will increase as the sound decays. Decay Sets how long the reverb effect will take to stop. Lo Cut Removes low frequencies from the affected output. Hi Cut Removes high frequencies from the affected output. Reverb Medium This is a spatial effect designed to sound as if the input is being played in a medium room.
161 Lo Cut Removes low frequencies from the affected output. Hi Cut Removes high frequencies from the affected output. Reverb Spacey This is an unusually spatial effect designed to sound as if the input is being played in a very large cavern. WetDry Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100% effected. PreDel Predelay sets the amount time before the sound enters the reverb "room". Early Sets the amount of initial reflection the sound will have.
162 Effects Hi Cut Removes high frequencies from the affected output. OutGate Sets the volume the effect output has to drop down to before the reverb effect is cut off. Decimator A Decimator downsamples the incoming signal by simply removing bits. The difference between decimation and resampling is that the decimator does not use any filtering to attempt to mask or correct digital artifacts.

Chapter 17: Program and FX Q-LINK Controllers By using the Q-LINK sliders and knobs, you can control both Program and Effect parameters with the controllers. Program Q-LINK programming Certain pad parameters (filter, tune, etc…) can be controlled with a slider or knob. There are two ways (NOTE ON and REALTIME) for controlling the sound by Q-LINK. NOTE ON The sound will be affected to the position of Q-LINK slider/knobs at the point the Pad is hit.
180 Program and FX Q-LINK Controllers NOTE ON The setting value of the Q-LINK slider/knob at hitting the pad affects to the sound. If you change the Q-LINK slider/knob while the sound is playing back, the sound will not be changed. The information of the slider or knob position will be sent to the sampler section as Note Variation data The Note Variation data is included in the Pad Event and converts the specific parameter value to slider or knob position data.
181 LEVEL: 0 – 100 This controls the sample volume level. CUTOFF: -100 - +100 This offsets the cut off frequency of the filter. The value set in the PROGRAM mode is used as 0. RESO: -100 - +100 This offsets the resonance of the filter. The value set in the PROGRAM mode is used as 0. LAYER: 0 - 127 This value switches layers instead of Velocity. ATTACK: 0 – 100 The attack time of the envelope will be replaced with this value.
182 Program and FX Q-LINK Controllers If the [AFTER] button is ON, when you move the Q-LINK slider/knob, the new Q-LINK event will be recorded and will erase any previous Q-LINK Events.

In the 'Range Lo and Hi' field, set the upper and lower limit of the slider or knobs. The value of the controlled parameter is determined by the value set here.
Chapter 18: Using the MPC5000 with External Devices In this section, you will learn how to sync the MPC5000 to the other MIDI devices using MIDI clock and MIDI Time Code. You will also learn how to hook up a MIDI keyboard to your MPC. MIDI Clock MIDI clock is a function of the MIDI standard and allows several MIDI devices to synchronize. If your MIDI device supports MIDI clock, you can use the device and the MPC5000 in sync.
186 Using the MPC5000 with External Devices (EXT) will be displayed in the 'BPM' field. Note: The tempo being set in the sequence will be displayed when the sequence is stopped. Note: The MIDI clock signal has tempo information. The slave device will follow the master device’s tempo regardless of its original tempo. Note: The MIDI clock signal does not have time information.
187 MIDI Machine Control (MMC) The MPC5000 is capable of sending and receiving MIDI Machine Control, or MMC. MIDI Machine control is a standard protocol for transport controls.
188 Using the MPC5000 with External Devices Connecting the MPC5000 to a MIDI Keyboard with Built-in Sounds In this section, you will learn how to connect the MPC5000 to a MIDI keyboard which has internal sounds to use the MPC5000’s sequencer feature. Normally, The MIDI keyboard with internal sounds is set to generate sounds when you play the keyboard. However, the MPC5000 sends out any incoming MIDI signals to the MIDI keyboard at the MIDI output.
189 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.
Chapter 19: Connecting the MPC5000 to Your Computer The MPC5000 supports the USB mass storage class. When you connect the MPC5000 to a PC that supports USB mass storage class, the PC will recognize the memory card and the Internal Hard Disk in the MPC5000 as a removable media drives. You can transfer the data between the recognized memory card or Internal Hard Disk and the PC.
192 Connecting the MPC5000 to Your Computer To save the data in the computer, select the data and drag and drop it from the removable disk to the Hard Disk. To load the data from the computer, select the data and drag and drop it from the Hard Disk to the removal media. 06.

Chapter 20: Other Settings In this section, you will learn about the other features, which were not mentioned in the other chapters. Adjusting the Master Level This attenuates the overall internal volume of the MPC5000. If you are playing sequences with a lot of different samples, and notice clipping, adjust this parameter to a lower level. When playing simpler sequences, this parameter can be turned up to improve the MPC5000's output level, adding a perceptible punch to the sound.
194 Other Settings Truncate Duration This setting allows you to choose how note lengths are handled at the end of the sequence. TO SEQ LENGTH The MPC5000 records a note as played up to sequence length. In other words, if the sequence is two measures long, the longest note that would be recorded will be 2 measures as well. This is useful when a note is intended to cross from the end of the sequence to the beginning and still continue playing.
195 02. Select the MUTE/STOP OF ONE-SHOT SAMPLES field, and select the desired Behavior THROUGH One shot samples are always played until sample end. IMMEDIATE One shot samples are stopped immediately when pressing stop or muting the pad.
196 Other Settings PLAY The Footswitch will act the same as pressing [PLAY] button. STOP The Footswitch will act the same as pressing [STOP] button. PLAY/STOP When you step on the Footswitch in stop mode, the MPC5000 will start playback at the current stopped position. When you step on the switch in play mode, the MPC5000 will stop playback. PLAY START/STOP When you step on the Footswitch in stop mode, the MPC5000 will start playback from the beginning.
197 Adjustment of Pad Sensitivity and Velocity Curve Each time you hit a pad, the MPC5000 determines how hard you hit the pad, and converts this to a MIDI Velocity value. This parameter is used to determine the strength/weakness of the internal sound during playback, as well as other system parameters that the velocity may be mapped to. If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable velocity range for your playing style, e.g.
198 Other Settings Initialize To Factory Default The global settings found in the MPC5000 (listed below) are saved to the internal Flash Memory and stored when the MPC5000 is turned off.
