Other features

Monitoring feature
In the Monitor field of the RECORD page, you can determine if you want to monitor the input signal (output the
signal from the STEREO OUT) in RECORD mode or not.
ON You can monitor the input signal. This is useful when you record sounds directly from the CD player.
OFF You cannot monitor the input signal. For example: when you send the signal to the MPC1000 through a
mixer, both the source sound and the monitored sound may be sent to the mixer. To avoid this, you
should set this to OFF.
Peak hold/Reset peak feature
The level meter in the RECORD page has the peak hold feature. This is a useful feature for adjusting the signal
level during recording. Normally, the display of the level meter changes in real time according to the level of the
incoming signal. However, the peak hold displays the maximum level and keep the level even when the level
decreases.
To reset the peak hold display, press the [F1] [F2] (RESET PEAK) key in the RECORD page.
Sample Memory Window
When you press the [WINDOW] key in the RECORD page, the Sample Memory window will be displayed.
The Free memory field displays the time you can record with the current memory. Below it, the status of the
memory is indicated as bar graph.
Below the bar graph, the total amount of the RAM in the MPC1000 is displayed.
