Akai MPC1000

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.
