11. Move the cursor to the Destination field at the right, and select ZONE SELECT as the modulation
destination.
12. Move the cursor to the Depth field, and set the value to 100.
13. Press the [WINDOW] key.
You will return to the Zone page. Now you can use velocity to switch between zones for all key groups/pad
numbers. Make fine adjustments to the Range field while striking the pads or playing your MIDI keyboard.
Other settings
Here’s how to make settings that affect the entire program, such as MIDI transpose and bend range.
1. In the List page, press the [F3] key (MISC.).
The MISC. page will appear. In this page you can make settings that are common to the entire program.
A MIDI block: Here you can set the transposi-
tion for the entire program, the polyphony, the
processing mode that will be used when the
MPC4000 runs out of voices, and portamento
on/off.
B BEND block: Here you can make settings for
pitch bend and aftertouch.
C SCALE block: Here you can select the scale
(equal-tempered, Werckmeister, etc.) used by
the program.
D SOFT PEDAL block: Here you can specify
what will occur when you press the soft pedal.
2. Move the cursor to the MIDI block, and set the following fields.
Transpose field: Specify the transpose value for the program. This value affects only the MIDI notes that
are received; it does not affect the pitch of the samples.
Polyphonic notes field: Specify the number of notes that the program will be able to play.
Reassignment field: As the processing mode that will be used when you have used up the available
polyphony, select either QUIET (notes will be turned off starting with the note whose level is lowest) or
OLDEST (notes will be turned off starting with the oldest note).
Mono legato field: Specify what will happen when you play two keys legato. If you select OFF, both
notes will play normally (polyphonically). If you select PITCH, the program will be in mono mode (you
will not be able to play chords); playing two keys legato will cause only the pitch to change without trig-
gering the second note.
Portamento field: Switch portamento on/off.
3. Move the cursor to the BEND block, and set the following fields.
Bend up field: Specify the amount of pitch change (in semitones) that will occur when you move the
pitch bend controller all the way away from yourself.
Bend down field: Specify the amount of pitch change (in semitones) that will occur when you move the
pitch bend controller all the way toward yourself.
Bend mode field: As the mode of operation that will occur when pitch bend messages are received,
select either NORMAL (pitch bend will be received even while the note is sounding) or HELD (pitch
bend will be received before the note sounds, but not while the note is sounding).
Aftertouch field: Adjust the depth to which aftertouch (pressure) will modulate the pitch.
Type field:
As the type of aftertouch, select either CHANNEL (channel pressure) or POLY (key pressure).
Saving or loading programs
The following pages explain how to save or load programs (or samples and programs) to and from a storage
device.
Saving programs
Here’s how you can save one program or multiple programs (or samples and programs) from memory to an
internal or external storage device. When you turn off the power, all programs and samples in the MPC4000
will be lost, so you must use the Save procedure described here to save your programs if you want to keep them.
