22 Chapter 3: Sequence feature
With the cursor in the Pgm: field, pressing the [WIN-
DOW] key will open the Program Change window.
You can select MIDI Bank changes and the Program
Changes in this window. You can also turn “OFF”
MIDI Program changes for the current track.
Bank Select: (ON/OFF)
You can select whether a “Bank Select” message is
transmitted or not.
MSB:/ LSB: (0-127)
You can set “MSB” (Control Change # 0) and “LSB”
(Control Change #32) of a MIDI Bank Select mes-
sage from 0 to 127.
Transmit program changes in this track: (YES / NO)
You can select whether a “MIDI Program Change”
message is transmitted or not on the selected Track.
Track velocity feature
Allows you to adjust the Velocity ratio on the selected
Track while the sequence is playing.
Select the “V%:” field in the MAIN page and adjust the
Velocity ratio by turning the DATA wheel from 1% to 200%.
Note : Changing the “V%” has no effect while recording sequence
data, it will only effect the playback of a sequence. If the velocity is
set to 127 (maximum), any setting over 100% will have no effect.
Track mute feature
You can set the track mute in the Mute field on the
MAIN page.
You can set the mute for each track independently. For
example, let’s assume you have recorded a Piano solo
on track 1 and another piano solo on track 2. By setting
either track to mute, you can compare these two piano
solos and choose the better one. If you set the mute ON
for a track, the MPC1000 won’t play back that track.
Tips : With the [TRACK MUTE] key, you can set the track mute
with a pad. For more information, see the “Setting the track mute
with pads” section on page 41.
Setting the MIDI Output channel
You can set the MIDI output channel in the MIDI field
on the MAIN page.
You can set the MIDI output channel for each track inde-
pendently. You need to set the output channel when you
use the MPC1000 to play an external MIDI sound mod-
ule. You do not have to set this when you are using the
internal sampler.
The MPC1000 has two MIDI outputs. Channels 1A
through 16A will be sent out via MIDI OUT A, MIDI chan-
nels 1B through 16B will be sent out via MIDI OUT B.
