Lfos - Akai MPC5000 Reference Manual

140 Sample, Keygroup and Synth Programs
'LFO>Amp'
The knob sets the amount the selected LFO will affect the volume, creating a tremolo effect. The corresponding Q-
Link [AFTER] button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
'Program Pan'
This parameter controls where the program's sound will play in the stereo field. 50 is center. 0 is panned hard left,
and 100 is panned hard right.
'Stereo Spread'
This parameter sets the stereo position of the individual VCOs. A setting of zero will have all 3 oscillators play
panned center. As the value of this parameter increases, VCO1 remains in the center, VCO2 pans further to the
left, and VCO3 pans further to the right.
'Key>Pan'
This selects whether keytracking will have an effect on pan. When set to 0, no panning will take place. When set to
100, the highest and lowest notes will be panned across the stereo field. The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button
toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
'LFO>Pan'
The knob sets the amount of effect the LFO will have on panning, creating a Leslie or rotary speaker type effect.
The corresponding Q-Link [AFTER] button toggles whether the effect of this modulation will be positive or negative.
ENV2
These parameters control the various aspects of Envelope 2. This
envelope affects the overall volume of the program.

LFOs

This page is where the parameters for the LFOs can be edited. The
MPC5000 has two LFOs. One is dedicated to vibrato. The other LFO is
used for different modulations. To enter the LFOs 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 [F5] (LFOs) button.
This will display the LFOs page. Here, the various parameters for the Vibrato and the LFO 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 LFOs page as desired.
The Screen is divided in half. The parameters on the left are for Vibrato. The parameters on the right are for the LFO.
'Wave'
This field selects which basic waveform for the LFO and Vibrato.
'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 determines how long a sound will sustain after the decay portion of the envelope finishes. 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.
