Preface – How to Use This Book
Overview
This book contains over 50 step-by-step tutorials that in my opinion should be read
in the order they are presented. Of course, if you are an intermediate MPC1000 user,
you may want to skip the ‘Fundamental Skills’ section and dive straight into the more
meaty sections of the book. That said, you may be surprised at some of the
additional knowledge you pick up from the early chapters as there are so many little
features that tend to get skipped over by even experienced users.
My advice is to go through each tutorial a few times so that you completely
understand all the functions explained within it – remember that many of the more
advanced tutorials actually require a strong knowledge of the earlier chapters.
Tutorial Files
Many of the tutorials in this book have associated files that are used to explain the
concepts more clearly to you. All tutorial files are included in folders that came with
this book and each folder is clearly labeled with the tutorial number and name so you
should have no problem finding the files you need. There are nearly 700 tutorial files
including WAVs, PGMs, and SEQ files files, so not only will these help you with the
tutorials, you’ll also have a nice sample library to use for your own tracks! Make sure
you extract all the files correctly within a program such as Winzip
(www.winzip.com) as this will ensure that all the files are kept in their correct
folders.
Searching
The beauty of a PDF is that you can search its contents very easily from within the
free Abode Acrobat reader. I recommend you install the full version (it’s still free)
which is available from here
