Chapter 6: Creating and Editing Programs
The MIDI Settings of the Sampler
This sets the MIDI settings of the internal sampler.
Press the PROGRAM (6 on the numeric keypad) while holding the
SHIFT key, display the Program Assign screen and press MIDI[F3]
to display the Smpler MIDI setup page.
• MIDI Volume:
This sets whether or not to receive MIDI volume data.  When
RECIEVE is selected, it will receive the data and when IGNORE is
selected, will not receive the data.
• Now vol:
This is the MIDI volume data value which the internal sampler last
received.  When the MIDI Volume: is set to RECIEVE, the
voluem of the internal sampler is controlled by the MIDI volume
data.  If the MPC2000 recieves MIDI volume 0, the sampler will not
generate any sound until a larger MIDI volume is received.  (The
level stays at 0.)  Check this field when all the other settings are
correct and the sampler does not generate a sound.  If the MIDI
volume data received is 0 or a small value, change the value in this
field to a larger value.
• Program change:
This sets whether or not to switch the program using the MIDI pro-
gram change.  When RECEIVE is selected, it will switch, and when
IGNORE is selected, it will not switch.
• Local mode:
This separates the connection between the internal sampler and the
drum pads.  Set this OFF when you are not using the sequence func-
tion of the MPC2000 and using the pad and sampler with another
sequencer.  This way the drum pad data will not go to the sampler
and will be output from the MIDI Output.  The sampler will gener-
ate a sound from the data coming in from the MIDI Input.
