Track features
Setting the track type
You can set the track type in the Type field in the MAIN
page. There are two types of track: DRUM and MIDI.
They are called DRUM track and MIDI track respectively.
Below are the differences of each track type.
DRUM Select this track type when you play the
MPC2500’s internal sampler by hitting
pads. The DRUM track data will be man-
aged per pad.
MIDI Select this track type when you use the
MPC2500 as a MIDI sequencer with ex-
ternal MIDI devices (MIDI keyboard
etc…). The MIDI track data is managed
per MIDI note event. For more informa-
tion, see the “MIDI sequencer feature”
section on Page 24.
Selecting a program
When you wish to play the internal program
with the MPC2500
In the Pgm: field, select the internal program loaded in
the internal memory by turning the DATA wheel. You
can play the samples in the selected program by hitting
the pads. If you select “OFF” or “No.”, the MPC2500
does not play the internal programs/samples.
When you wish to play the external sound module
with the MPC2500
In the Pgm: field, select “OFF” or ”No.”, the MPC2500
does not play the internal prgrams/samples, but instead
will “trigger” an extrnal sound module such as a synth.
•
Setting the MIDI Program number
for the external sound module.
When you select “No.” in the Pgm: field, the MIDI
Program number field will appear in the right side of
the Pgm: field. You can set the MIDI Program Num-
ber from 1 to 128. The selected MIDI Program Num-
ber will be transmitted from the selected MIDI OUT
in Midi field when the sequence is selected or the
[PLAY START] key is pressed.
