Setting the receive MIDI port/MIDI channel of a part
Here’s how to set the receive MIDI port and MIDI channel of a part so that you can play that part from a
track of the sequencer section via a virtual MIDI port (INT-A/INT-B).
1. Press the [MULTI] key, and then press the [F3] key (MIDI).
The MIDI page will appear. In this page you can specify the receive MIDI channel for each part. Here you
can also select the program that will be assigned to each part, and specify the priority in which each part
will sound.
A Multi field: Indicates the name of the cur-
rently selected multi.
B Part field: Indicates the part numbers.
C Program/Type field: Selects the program
that will be assigned to the part. The Type field
shows an abbreviation to indicate the program
type.
D MIDI Ch field: Specifies the receive MIDI
channel/receive MIDI port for the part.
E Tune field: Adjusts the pitch of the part.
F Priority field: Specifies the priority given to
the part for playing notes.
G Prog No. field: Specifies the program change number of the program that is selected for the part.
2. Move the cursor to the Part field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select a part.
3. Move the cursor to the parameter field that you want to adjust, and turn the [JOG] dial to adjust
the value.
The available settings for each parameter are as follows.
• MIDI Ch field .............................1A–16A, 1B–16B
• Tune field....................................–36.00–+36.00 semitones
• Priority field................................HOLD/HIGH/NORMAL/LOW
• Prog No. field .............................OFF, 1–128
Adjusting the note range of a part
By specifying the highest and lowest note that a part will play, you can limit a part to sounding only in a
specific range of notes.
1. Press the [MULTI] key, and then press the [F4] key (SPAN).
The Multi mode Span page will appear.
Hint: The Pan parameter is valid only if you have selected L/R, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8 as the output destination.
By setting the FX parameter to A/B or C/D, you can use the effects of effect buses AB or CD as stereo-in/ste-
reo-out.
Hint: The setting of the Priority field represents a priority in the descending order of HOLD
→
HIGH
→
NOR-
MAL
→
LOW. If the MPC4000 runs out of voices, it will turn off currently-sounding notes in the priority order
you specify here. If you set a part to HOLD, its program will never be turned off.
