Setting the track mute with pads
You can mute/unmute tracks in real time during playback by hitting the pads. This is useful when you have several
instruments assigned to different tracks, so that you can play a song and switch tracks on/off using the pads while
playing back your sequence. Pressing the [TRACK MUTE] key brings up the track mute page.
TRACK MUTE Screen
Now field
Like the Now field in the MAIN page, this field displays the current time position of the sequence.
Sq field
Like the Sq field in the MAIN page, you can select a sequence in this field.
Track list
The track list is displayed under the Now field and the Sq field.
The track list displays the first 8 letters of the track name. The tracks are displayed according to the position of
the pads; Track 1 on the lower left and track 16 on the upper right. You can display 16 pads at one time, but you
can display 1 to 64 tracks by switching pad banks. The track whose track mute is set to off will be highlighted.
Operation
Hitting a pad when the track mute page is displayed switches the track mute setting of that track instead of
playing the sound.
Solo function
With the Solo function, you can play back only the selected track.
01. Hit the pad that corresponds to the track that you wish to play, while pressing the [F6]
(SOLO) key.
The [F6] (SOLO) will be highlighted and MPC1000 will play only the selected track while it mutes the other
tracks. You can switch the tracks to play, by hitting a pad.
02. Pressing the [F6] (SOLO) key deactivates the solo function.
Setting the track mute in solo mode
Solo function switches the track mute setting temporary. Turning off the solo function resets the track mute
settings for each track to the same status as before the solo function was activated. However, you can also
turn off the solo function while keeping the track mute setting unchanged. With this feature, you can make a
performance starting with many tracks followed by only a simple rhythm track and then gradually add tracks.
Operation
When the solo function is on, press the [F6] (SOLO) key while holding the [SHIFT] key.
The Solo function will be deactivated and the mute setting for the track set to solo will be turned off. The setting
for other tracks will be turned on.
