Chapter 4 : Editing Sequences; Selecting A Region Within A Track To Edit - Akai MPC1000 Operator's Manual

Chapter 4 : Editing sequences

There are two ways to edit sequences. You can select a region and edit all events at one time, or you can edit each
event in detail. In this section, you will learn about the SEQ EDIT mode, where you can select a region to edit your
event(s).

Selecting a region within a track to edit

You can edit the events within a region that you set in the track. This is done in the EVENTS page of the SEQ EDIT
mode, which can be accessed by pressing the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 13].
Selecting a region for the editing
In the EVENTS page, there are 3 different editing options in the Edit field: COPY, MOVE and TRANSPOSE. The
procedure to select the editing region is the same for all three options. Let us begin with the selection of the
editing region.
Setting the time
01. Select the Time field in the EVENTS page of the SEQ EDIT mode.
In the Time field, you can set the start and end points of the editing region. For example, to edit the first bar of
a 2-bar sequence, set this field to "001.01.00 - 002.01.00". In this case, the event at the "002.01.00" point
will not be edited.
EVENT EVENT
001.04.93 001.04.94
Setting the pad/note number
01. Select the Notes field in the EVENTS page of the SEQ EDIT mode.
The display of the Notes field depends on the type of the track that you have selected.
When DRUM track is selected:
In default, the field is set to ALL, which means the MPC1000 will edit all the pads. If you wish to edit only a
specific pad, position the cursor in the Notes field and hit the desired pad. The pad number will be displayed in
the Notes field. You can select several pads. If you hit a different pad by mistake, you can cancel the selection
by hitting the pad again. To restart the pad selection, turn the DATA wheel to the left. The value in the Note field
will be reset to ALL so that you can select the pad that you want from the beginning.
When MIDI track is selected:
The display changes to show the selected region by note number.
002.01.00
EVENT EVENT EVENT
001.04.95
You will set the upper limit and the lower limit of the note in the field, The
MPC1000 will edit only the events within the note numbers set in this field.
If you set the end point "002.01.00", like in this
picture, the area right before this point will be
002.01.01 included in the area.
