Assigning Notes to DRUMS PAD
You first must assign a note number to the DRUMS PAD.
Note numbers are assigned to all pads by the initial settings on the
MPC2000.  Unless there is a special requirement, it is not necessary
to change the note assignments.
Select the Pad: field with the CURSOR key and select the DRUMS
PAD you want to assign by rotating the DATA wheel.  You can also hit
the DRUMS PAD and directly select the pad.
Select the Note: on the right side by pressing CURSOR RIGHT key
and set the note number you want to assign by rotating the DATA
wheel.
You can change this field by playing a drum pad even when the cursor
is on the Note: field.  This way, you are able to assign notes continu-
ously without moving the cursor.
It is also possible to list the DRUMS PAD in Assignment View and
assign them.
To display the Assignment View window, select the Pad: field or the
Note: field on the right and press the OPEN WINDOW key.
To assign a note, select the DRUMS PAD with the CURSOR key or by
hitting the DRUMS PAD.  The sound assigned to the selected note is
displayed in Assignment View.
