Vca - Akai MPC5000 Reference Manual

'Env1>Cutoff'
This parameter determines how much of an effect the envelope will have on the filter. The corresponding Q-Link
[AFTER] button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative. This field also appears on
the Basic page. See page 135 for more information.
'LFO>Cutoff'
The knob sets the amount of effect the selected LFO will have on filter cutoff. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER]
button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
'Vel>Cutoff'
Sets the amount of effect velocity will have on filter cutoff. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button toggles
whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
ENV1
These parameters control the various aspects of Envelope 1. This
envelope affects the filter and is used for various modulation routings.

VCA

VCA stands for Voltage Controlled Amplifier. This page is where in-depth
controls for the output volume and the amplifier envelope can be edited.
Other Modulations involving volume and panning controls can be found
here. To enter the VCA page, do the following:
01. From the MAIN screen, select a track that uses a synth program
You can also create a new synth program as detailed in the previous section.
02. Press [MODE] and [PAD 6] (PROGRAM)
This will bring you into PROGRAM mode where you can edit different parameters of
your program.
Note: You can also use the [SYNTH] button as a shortcut to jump to the last Synth program you edited.
03. Press the [F4] (VCA) button.
This will display the VCA page. Here, the output levels and amp envelope can be edited. Each parameter can be selected by using the
[CURSOR] to select each field and then turning the [DATA] wheel.
04. Edit the parameters of the Volume page as desired.
The following parameters are available to be edited.
'Program Level'
Controls the overall volume of the current program. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 135 for
more information.
'Vel>Amp'
Sets how much velocity will affect the volume of the program. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button toggles
whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
'Key>Amp'
Sets the amount that the volume of the program will track the keys. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button
toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
'Attack'
This parameter determines how long an envelope will take to reach maximum level when a pad is struck. Sounds ranging
from a slow swelling violin to drum-like attacks are possible by adjusting this parameter. This field also appears on the
Basic page. See page 135 for more information.
'Decay'
This parameter determines how long the sound will take to go from the attack phase to the sustain portion of the envelope.
This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 135 for more information.
'Sust'
This sets the level at which the filter remains while the pad is being held after completion of the decay phase. See page
135 for more information.
'Rel'
Sets how long a sound will decay when the pad is released. This field also appears on the Basic page. See page 135 for
more information.
