Chapter 4: Editing sequences
There are two ways to edit sequences. You can select a region and edit all events at one time, or you can edit each event in detail. In this
section, you will learn about the SEQ EDIT mode, where you can select a region to edit your event(s)
Seq Edit Mode
You can edit the events within a region of the the track. This is done in the SEQ
EDIT mode, which can be accessed by pressing the [MODE] button and then [PAD 10].
'Edit Select' Field
You can select edit type here. The lower line is changed depending on this selection.
'Parameter' Field
This is where you select the different parameters for the selected edit function. Displayed parameters are changed depending on selected
edit type.
'Value' field(S)
This is where different aspects of each parameter can be edited.
Copy Events
You can copy events within the selected region to another place. The source data will remain in the original location. Use [DATA] wheel
to select ‘Copy events’ in Edit Select field on top.
From
This is where you select the source sequence and track for copying. The 'S' field represents the Sequence, and the 'T' field is the
track. The default setting will be the current sequence and track.
To
This is where you select where the selected sequence and track will be copied to. The 'S' field represents the Sequence, and the
'T' field is the track.
Pads vs. Notes
This selection will display its value as either Pad data or Note data, depending on the track type set in 'TRACK params' – DRUM
or MIDI. See page 25 for more information.
Pads
In default, the field is set to ALL, which means the MPC500 will edit all the pads. If you wish to edit only a specific pad,
position the cursor in the 'Notes' field and hit the desired pad. The pad number will be displayed in the 'Pads' field. You can
select several pads. If you hit a different pad by mistake, you can cancel the selection by hitting the pad again. To restart the pad
selection, turn the [DATA] wheel to the left. The value in the 'Note' field will be reset to ALL so that you can select the pad that
you want from the beginning.
