MPC2500 Operator’s Manual rev 1.0

Chapter 2 : Basic Operation

In this chapter, we will describe the basic operation of the MPC2500.

MAIN Page

This is the main screen of the MPC2500, where you record and play back sequences. You can go back to this page at any

time by pressing the [MAIN] key; for example, when you get lost while operating MPC2500 and want to go back to this

page. You cannot go back to MAIN page by pressing [MAIN] key while processing (e.g. recording, loading/saving etc..).

Cursor, Cursor Keys, Field, DATA Wheel

The highlighted part on the screen is called the “Cur-

sor” (On above screen, [

] on Main

screen is highlighted).You can move the cursor on the

screen using four cursor keys on the panel. Usually

they move to a specific locations such as right to colon

( : ) . Those locations are called “field”, where you can

make various setting, or enter values. To change the

settings of a field, select the field and turn the [DATA]

wheel on the panel.

This operation, selecting a field by using a cursor key

and changing its settings with the [DATA] wheel, is

the most basic operation of MPC2500.

Function Keys

Six keys (F1 to F6) aligned under the LCD (liquid crys-

tal display) are function keys. Those keys correspond

to each of the six functions that are displayed on the

bottom of the LCD. Pressing each key activates its cor-

responding function. The function that each function

key represents depends on the contents on the LCD.

When the LCD displays like this, pressing function keys

starts some processing or displays windows.

When LCD displays like this, you can switch pages

using function keys F1 to F4. The currently selected

page is displayed with black letters on a white back-

ground. Pressing F5 and F6 keys does not make any

changes.

Some pages display the page selection and processing

function at the same time (see below).

In this case, use F1 and F2 for switching pages, and F6

for activating processing. You cannot use F3, F4 and F5.

In this book, function keys are described something

like this: “[F1] (TRIM) key”- in the bracket, it shows

the function displayed on LCD.

WINDOW key

The MPC2500 has so many functions that they cannot

be displayed in one screen. For efficiency, each page

only displays the most frequently used functions. If

you want to make an advanced setting, press the [WIN-

DOW] key. This opens a window for the detailed set-

ting of the selected field. This is not available for all

fields. When you select a field in which you can use

the [WINDOW] key, the LED of the key is lit.

MODE key

With the MPC2500, each function (such as recording

samples, editing samples, assigning samples to each

pad, editing sequence data, loading from memory

cards, etc…) has a separate screen. These screens are

called “modes”. For example, you will use the

RECORD mode to record samples, and the TRIM mode

to edit samples, the [MODE] key switches modes. By

pressing the [MODE] key and hitting a pad, you can

switch modes. The mode that a pad corresponds to is

displayed above each pad.
