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...).

 Cursor, Cursor Buttons, [DATA] wheel

The highlighted reverse colored square on the screen is called the

'Cursor'.

You can move the cursor on the screen using the four [CURSOR] buttons on

the panel. Usually they move to specific locations such as to the right of a

colon (:). Those locations are called 'fields', and will be indicated in the

manual by single quotes. This is where you can make various settings, or

enter values. To change the settings of a field, select the field and turn the

[DATA] wheel on the panel. This operation, selecting a field by using a

cursor button and changing its settings with the [DATA] wheel, is the most

basic operation of MPC5000.

While in MAIN Mode, press and hold the [SHIFT] button, and press the [UP]

cursor button to quickly access the 'Sequence' field from anywhere. Press and hold the [SHIFT] button and press the

[DOWN] cursor button to quickly access the 'Track' Field.

 Function Buttons

Six buttons ([F1] to [F6]) aligned under the LCD (liquid

crystal display) are Function Buttons. Those buttons

correspond to each of the six functions that are

displayed on the bottom of the LCD. Pressing each

button activates its corresponding function. The function

that each button represents depends on where you

are.

When the LCD looks like this, pressing a function

button starts some processing or displays a window.

When the LCD looks like this, you can switch pages using function buttons [F1] to [F3]. The currently selected page is

displayed with white letters on a blue background. Pressing F4, F5 and F6 buttons does not make any changes.

Some pages display the page selection and processing

function at the same time (see below). In this case,

use [F1] and [F2] for switching pages, and [F5] and

[F6] for activating processing. You cannot use [F3]

and [F4].

In this manual, function buttons are described

something like this: '[F1] (TRIM) button'- in the bracket,

it shows the function displayed on the LCD.

 [WINDOW] Button

The MPC5000 has so many functions that they cannot be displayed in one screen. For efficiency, each page only

displays the most frequently used functions. If you want to make an advanced setting, press the [WINDOW] button.

This opens a window for the detailed setting of the selected field. This is not available for all fields. When you select a

field in which you can use the [WINDOW] button, the LED of the button is lit.
