Chapter 2: The Basics
Program
A program is a collection of sounds assigned to 64 note numbers.  It is
possible to set the envelope or filter on each note number individually.
It is possible to create 24 programs on the MPC2000.
The sound is played back by a pad or MIDI note only when it is as-
signed to a note number in a program.  By assigning a note number to
a pad, the sound assigned to that note number can be played from a
pad.  When a sequence is played back, the sound is played with the
note data recorded on the track.  (When the snare drum is assigned to
note number 50, the snare drum is reproduced with the timing re-
corded on the note.)
You can instantly switch the program by selecting it in PROGRAM
mode.  It is also possible to use the MIDI program change feature to
switch the program.
