Improvements to PROGRAM Mode

KEYGROUP Type Program

New to the MPC5000 is a program type called KEYGROUP. A Keygroup program is a keymapped, multisampled program, which allows several samples to be played chromatically across a standard keyboard. Keygroups use velocity switching, crossfading, and key ranges to yield a very realistic sound across the entire keybed. Up to 128 keygroups, each with up to 4 samples can be used, to a total of 512 samples.

Creating a Keygroup Program

To create a Keygroup program, do the following:

01.In PROGRAM Mode, select the 'PGM' field.

02.Press the [WINDOW] key.

The NEW PROGRAM Window will be displayed.

03.In the 'Program Type' field, select KEYGROUP

You can also name the program using the 'New Name' field.

04.Press [F5] (DO IT) to create a new Keygroup.

The screen will be displayed as shown on the right. This page is similar to the SAMPLE page, with the following new parameters:

Total Keygroups

This field shows the total number of keygroups in the program.

KgLvl

This field sets the overall volume of the Keygroup. Like SAMPLE programs, Individual sample levels can also be controlled in the LVL field.

KgTune

This field sets the overall tuning for the selected Keygroup.

KgPan

This field sets the overall panning for the selected Keygroup.

KRange

This field is a two-part field that sets the high and low key ranges in which the selected Keygroup will play.

Tip: While in these fields, you can select the key range by pressing a note on a MIDI Keyboard.
