Other Features

Monitoring feature

In the 'Monitor' field of the SAMPLE page, you can determine if you want to monitor the input signal (output the signal
from the STEREO OUT) in SAMPLE 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 MPC5000 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 SAMPLE 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 keeps the level, even when the level decreases.
To reset the peak hold display, press the [F1] or [F2] (RESET PEAK) button in the SAMPLE page.
