Other useful functions

The MPC1000 has many exciting and clever functions to assist you with music production.
Patched Phrase / Sliced Sample
The MPC1000 can divide a phrase sample into several regions.
After dividing the phrase sample, there are two ways you can use
the sample. One is the "SLICED SAMPLES" where each divided
region is assigned to an individual sample. The other is the
"PATCHED PHRASE" which maintains the phrase as one sample
but you can change the tempo of the phrase freely later.
See "Dividing a phrase sample to several regions" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 59)
Effect & LFO with tempo synchronization
The MPC1000 has two stereo effects and one master effect. In the
Effect types, some parameter in Flying Pan / Delay can be
synchronized to the tempo of the sequence. The LFO in the
program can also be synced to the tempo of the sequence. See
"Chapter15 : Effect" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 97)
See "Chapter 14: Effect" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 83)
See "Setting a LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 77)
Mixer Automation function
The MPC1000 can record information such as Level and Pan,
which you can change with the Q-Link sliders and knobs during
sequence recording and reproduce them during sequence play
back.
See "Mixer Automation" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 80)
