The [MAIN] button displays the MAIN page where you record your sequences.
You can select any sequence for recording a performance, but here, select a sequence that says 'unused'.
'Unused' indicates that the sequence is not used.
Your performance will be recorded on the track you select in the 'Track' field. You can select any track, but here select the first unused track (i.e.
'01-(unused)').
Select the 'Program' field, and scroll with the [DATA] wheel until the desired program is displayed.
You can select any program currently in RAM in the 'Program' field by turning the [DATA] wheel.
This will play the program selected in the 'Program' field.
The recording will start after 4 counts.
By default, the sequence is set to 2 bars. After recording for 2 bars, the MPC5000 will start playing back the recorded performance. You can add
to your original performance by continuing to play the pads when the track loops. The MPC5000 automatically switches to 'overdub' recording
and adds to the performance.
