Akai MPC1000 User Manual

HOLD key
Normally, when the next sequence is selected, the MPC1000 will switch to the next sequence after it finishes
playing the current sequence. If you press the [F5] (HOLD) key, the MPC1000 will keep playing back the current
sequence until you press the [F5] (HOLD) again. It is useful for the live performance, where you wish to change
the phrase according to the response of the audience.
01. Select the next sequence with the pad, and press the [F5] (HOLD) key.
The key will be highlighted and the MPC1000 will keep playing back the current sequence, instead of
switching to the next sequence.
If you press the [F5] (HOLD) key again, the Hold function will turn off and the MPC1000 will switch to the next
sequence after it finishes playing back the current sequence.
Tips: If you press the [F4] (SUDDEN) key when the hold function is on, the MPC1000 will switch to the next
sequence right away.
