The MIDI Settings of the Sampler
This sets the MIDI settings of the internal sampler.
Hold down SHIFT and press PROGRAM (numeric key 6), then select “DRUM 1-4”. Then press
DRUM (F3). Pressing DRUM [F3] again, displays the DRUM 1-4 select screen.
• Program Change:
This sets whether or not to switch the program using the MIDI program change. When
RECEIVE is selected, it will switch, and when IGNORE is selected, it will not switch.
• MIDI volume:
This sets whether or not to receive MIDI volume data. When RECEIVE is selected, it will
receive the data and when IGNORE is selected, will not receive the data.
• Current val:
This is the MIDI volume data value which the internal sampler last received. When the
MIDI Volume: is set to RECEIVE , the volume of the internal sampler is controlled
by the MIDI volume data. If the MPC2000XL recieves MIDI volume 0, the sampler will not
generate any sound until a larger MIDI volume is received. (The level stays at 0.) Check
this field when all the other settings are correct and the sampler does not generate a sound.
If the MIDI volume data received is 0 or a small value, change the value in this field to a
larger value.
• Pad to internal sound:
This separates the connection between the internal sampler and the drum pads. Set this
OFF when you are not using the sequencer function of the MPC2000XL and using the pad
and sampler with another sequencer. This way the drum pad data will not go to the internal
sampler and will be output from the MIDI Output. The sampler will generate sounds from
external data coming in from the MIDI Input.
