17. LFREQ ORCH. (Low frequency Orchestra)
18. SLOW ORCH. (Slow orchestra)
Adjust : You can use this to 'tweak' the selected pre-
set. If your selected preset is close to what
you're looking for, but still needs a little fine
tuning, try a few different settings here un-
til you get the best result. A ( + ) value will
help improve high frequency and percus-
sive sounds while a ( - ) value will help im-
prove bass sound. Most of the time, this can
be left at zero.

PITCH SHIFT (Changing the pitch of the sample)
The Pitch Shift edit can change the pitch of the selected
sample without changing its length. This is useful when
you want to change the pitch of a phrase sample in the
sequence without changing the tempo..

03. Press the [F6] (EDIT) key.
The Pad Sample Edit window will be displayed.
04. In the Edit field, select PITCH SHIFT.
05. In the Pitch field, set the pitch amount you want to change..
Pitch : -12.00 - +12.00
This determines the amount of the pitch shift in semi
tone and cent step. For example, if you set +1.00,
the sample pitch will be one semi tone up. If you set
+12.00, the sample pitch will be one octave up.
06. Set the Preset field and Adjust field if necessary.
Preset :
The MPC1000 uses 18 preset algorithms to carry out
the Pitch shift process, so you should select a preset
that nearest resembles your sample's content. If the
results are not close enough what you're looking
for, try experimenting with different presets.
Each preset is further divided into A, B or C:
A : Standard quality Pitch shift with fast processing
B : Better quality Pitch shift with slower processing
C : Highest quality Pitch shift with slower processing.
