Akai MPC1000 User Manual

Assigning MIDI note numbers to the pads (changing the default setting)
Normally, when you hit a pad, the MPC1000 will output the MIDI note data assigned to the pad in the program.
However, when the selected track does not have any program assigned, hitting a pad sends out the default MIDI
note number, instead of the number set in the program.
When you create a new program, this setting will be used as the default setting. You can change this default pad
setting in the MIDI/SYNC mode, which can be accessed by pressing the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 9]
(MIDI/SYNC).
01. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 9] (MIDI/SYNC).
You can enter the MIDI/SYNC mode.
02. Press the [F3] (NOTE) key.
The NOTE page will be displayed.
03. Select the desired pad by hitting it.
The note number of the selected pad will be highlighted.
04. Select the note number with the DATA wheel.
In the upper right corner of the screen, the MIDI GM standard name of the drum, which represents the
selected note number, is displayed.
To reset the setting to the default, press the [F6] (RESET) key. All the notes assigned to the pads will be
reset to the default setting.
