Chapter 5 : Step editing
There are two ways to edit sequences. You can select a region and edit several events at one time, or you can edit each event
in detail. In this section, you will learn about the STEP EDIT mode, where you can edit each event in detail.
About step edit
Each track has the performance data you made with pads, or MIDI note information from an external MIDI keyboard. The
Step Edit function allows you to edit each event separately. There are other types of events than Pad and MIDI note informa-
tion. There are also events specific to the MPC1000, such as Q-Link slider information and tempo information, and MIDI
events such as pitch bend and modulation wheel.
Step edit is done in the STEP EDIT mode, which is accessed by pressing the [MODE] key and then [PAD 14].

The time display on the upper left corner on the screen
is the Now field. The Now field always displays the
current position of a sequence. This is the same as the

list in this field. The event list displays only the events

specific events.

events within the active track.
