Adjustment of Pad Sensitivity and Velocity Curve
Each time you hit a pad, the MPC5000 determines how hard you hit the pad, and converts this to a MIDI Velocity value.
This parameter is used to determine the strength/weakness of the internal sound during playback, as well as other
system parameters that the velocity may be mapped to.
If you find it difficult to achieve a comfortable velocity range for your playing style, e.g. you can not get a velocity of
127 even you hit the Pad very hard, or vice versa, you get velocity 127 easily even you hit the Pad softly, you can
adjust the Pad Sensitivity and the velocity curve as desired. The Pad sensitivity and the Velocity curve can be adjusted
for each Pad separately.
01. Press the [MODE] button and then the [PAD 9] (OTHER).
The Other page will be displayed.
02. Select the PAD page by pressing [F3] (PAD).
03. Select the Pad you wish to adjust the Pad Sensitivity by hitting
it.
The selected Pad Number will be displayed in the 'Pad' field. The number of the
current Pad sensitivity and the current Velocity curve will be displayed in 'Pad
Sensitivity' field and 'Velocity Curve' field. Velocity and Aftertouch will be displayed
in meters on the right side of the screen.
04. Select the 'Pad Sensitivity' field and adjust the pad sensitivity number as you hit the Pad.
If the Pad sensitivity number is set to a low value, it’s harder to get a high velocity value even if
you hit the Pad hard. If the Pad sensitivity number is set to a high value, it may become too
easy to get high velocities even when hitting the Pad softly.
05. Select the 'Velocity curve' field and adjust the Velocity curve while hitting
the Pad.
The velocity curve maps the strength of hitting the Pad to MIDI velocity data. If the Velocity
response is not enough even with a range hard/soft Pad hits, try switching the velocity curve
from A-B-C-D.
SYSTEM
This page displays important system information about your MPC5000. To access
this page, press [F4] (SYSTEM) while in OTHER mode.
Version
The MPC 5000’s operating system is upgradeable and allows us make

CPU Usage
This parameter displays how much system resources are being used.
Voices
This parameter displays how many voices are currently being used. The MPC5000 can play up to 64 voices simultaneously.
Date
This parameter sets the date for the internal clock.
Time
This parameter sets the MPC5000's internal clock.
Calibration
This parameter is used if the clock drifts slightly over long periods of time. (For example, over a month).
Clock Setting
This enables or disables the internal clock. The internal clock should not be disabled unless the MPC5000 is going to be stored over a
long period of time.
