Automatically Create Programs from a Folder

When loading a folder, the MPC5000 now has the ability to load only samples, and create a new program. The Samples will automatically be assigned to each pad of the new program. If more than 64 samples are in the folder, an additional program will be created. These programs will be named "Program" followed by a unique number starting at 001.

01.Press [DO IT] to load the folder.

The LOAD A FOLDER window will appear as shown on the right.

03. Press [DO IT]

The Samples contained in the selected folder will be loaded into a new

Program. If there are more than 64 samples in the folder, additional

Programs will be created to accommodate them.
