Using The Divided Samples To Create A Sequence/Program - Akai MPC 4000 Reference Manual

2. Move the cursor to the Region start field, and specify the region start point.
You can edit the value either by turning the [JOG] dial, or by using the numeric keys to
directly enter a number of samples and then pressing the [ENTER] key.
3. To check the region start point you specified, move the cursor to the Region
start field, and press pad 14 or 15.
In the Region page, the function of pads 14 and 15 will change as follows.
Pad 14 (PLAY TO)........... Start slightly before the current location, and play once to the
Pad 15 (PLAY FROM) ..... Start at the current location, and play once to a point slightly
Hint: By holding down the [SHIFT] key and pressing the BLOCK CURSOR [
on the waveform near the region start point in the waveform display field (lower).
4. Move the cursor to the Region end field, and set the region end point in the
same way.
5. As necessary, use the same procedure for other regions.
Hint: When you edit the region start point of the second or subsequent region, the region end point of
the preceding region will change simultaneously.
When you edit the region end point, the region start point of the following region will change simul-
taneously.

Using the divided samples to create a sequence/program

You can write the divided regions into memory as independent samples. Then you can
create a new program to which these samples are assigned, and create a sequence that
plays that program.
1. In the Region page, press the [F5] key (EDIT).
The Sample Edit popup window will appear, in which you can use editing commands to
edit the waveform.
2. In the Edit field, select SLICE SAMPLE.
The SLICE SAMPLE editing command cuts the waveform into the divided regions, cre-
ating a corresponding number of new samples.
