12. To add the recording to the already recorded data,
press the [PLAY START] key while holding [OVER
DUB] key.
This plays back the currently recorded performance
and you can add the new performance by hitting pads.
Tips: If you select another sequence in the Sq field, you can record
a new performance separately. By playing back those sequences,
you can create one whole song.
Tips: You can use the other useful features for sequence recording
(see page 14) like when you record the performance data from pads.
Tips: For more information on how to connect a MIDI keyboard
with sound module to the MPC1000, see the “connecting MPC1000
to a MIDI keyboard with sound module” section on page 48.
Handling the sustain pedal
In this section, you will learn how to set the option to
handle the sustain pedal information when you are
connecting the MPC1000 to the external MIDI keyboard
to use it as a MIDI 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. The keyboard
sends out Sustain pedal data as separate event from
note event, so normally the sequencer recognize this
data as separate data. However, when you are over-
dubbing on a short sequence loop, it might be better to
convert the sustain pedal data to the recorded note’s
duration (the length of the note).. For example, if you
record the sustain pedal data as it is, once you press the
sustain pedal during the loop, the sustain will be ap-
plied to all the data after that. If you convert the sus-
tain pedal data to a note’s duration, the movement of
the sustain pedal will not affect the other notes.
Thus, the MPC1000 is set to convert the sustain pedal
data to a note’s duration by default, but you can change
the setting to record the data as the sustain pedal data.
01. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 10]
(OTHER) key.
It switches to OTHER mode.
02. Press [F2] (MISC.) key.
The MISC. page will be displayed.
03. In the Sustain pedal to duration field, select the op-
tion how to handle sustain pedal.
YES The MPC1000 converts the sustain
pedal information into duration.
NO The MPC1000 records the sustain pedal
information as it is.
