THE POWER OF AN MPC WITH THE PORTABILITY OF A LAPTOP
PRODUCTION POWER, ON THE MOVE.
Inheriting all the essential features which make the MPC series so iconic, the MPC1000 is not only a perfect complement to its larger MPC siblings, but a powerful Music Production Center in its own right. The MPC1000 combines a 64 Track MIDI Sequencer and a 32 voice Stereo Digital Sampler, with 16 velocity and pressure sensitive rubber pads. 16MB of on board memory comes standard and can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM. You can save your work to a Standard Compact Flash Card (up to 2GB). A preloaded CF card is included, to get you going.
When connected to a Mac or PC via its built in USB port, you can simply drag & drop data between the computer and the MPC1000's CF card. Incredibly portable, the MPC1000 is small and ruggedly designed, to easily fit in a backpack or laptop bag for the traveling producer.
The perfect machine to quickly create punchy beats. Anyone who wanted an MPC but could not afford it! Typically: Hip-Hop and R&B artist or "Producer", as well as DJ/Live Club performer.

FAQ
What type of hard drive can I put in my MPC2500 or MPC1000?
MPC2500 and MPC1000 both accept 2.5" IDE Hard Disk Drives (Laptop style)
What is the difference between pattern-based sequencing and linear sequencing?
The MPC1000 can do both.
With linear sequencing, the whole song is one long sequence which can be recorded continuously in real-time, much like an audio recorder, or edited by copying/pasting bars (such as verse, chorus, etc). This is good when recording tracks while playing live over the whole song.
With pattern-based sequencing, a song is made of multiple short sequences (patterns) that can be re-arranged very quickly in Song mode or even in real-time using the Next Sequence feature.
However, unlike limited 'groove-boxes' where patterns are only one or two bars, on the MPC1000, pattern/sequences can be of any length.
With the MPC1000, you can work on each pattern in a loop, switch patterns, and in Song mode, simply specify the order the pattern playback and number of repeats to create an arrangement. At any time, you can change the arrangement without tedious copying/pasting.
In addition, if you decide to modify a pattern (say, the chorus sequence) after having created the song arrangement, it will automatically be modified in all the instances of the same pattern (i.e. all the choruses in this example). With linear sequencing, you would have to copy/paste the edited bars again, as many times are there are instances. Of course, with the MPC1000, you can also create of a copy a pattern if you want to modify only one instance.
Are there internal sounds in the MPC1000?
The MPC1000 comes with 5MB of internal sounds in flash (retained after power-off). Factory sounds can be replaced by user custom sounds. There are also around 10MB of sounds on the included 32MB Compact Flash card.
How do I get more sounds in the MPC1000?
You can load sounds from Compact Flash cards, transfer standard WAV files via USB from a PC/Mac computer, or sample your own sounds via the analog or digital inputs (from a CD, for instance). The MPC1000 supports mono and stereo samples.
Can I edit the sounds of my MPC1000 on a computer?
Yes. Samples are standard WAV files and can be edited and processed in any sample editing software, such as the "Audacity" freeware for Windows and Mac OS.
Programs can also be edited offline on a computer using 3rd party Program editor freeware such as "MPC1000 Program Creator" for Windows XP/2k and "MPC Pad 187" for Mac OS X.
Sounds (programs/samples) and sequences can be transferred between the MPC1000 and the computer either via USB or via a Compact Flash card.
I have a sample of a bass sound assigned to one pad. How can I play it on all the pads at different pitch?
Easy. Simply press the "16 LEVELS" button, hit the pad that contains the bass sample and enable the 16-TUNING mode. Now, the bass sample can be played across all the pads with 16 chromatic tunings.
I have created a beat on my MPC1000. How do I put it on a CD or send in on internet as an MP3?
Once you have created a beat on the MPC1000, you can resample its own output as a stereo WAV file.
You can then transfer this WAV file to a computer (via USB or Compact Flash) and burn it to CD or encode it to MP3 using any software/shareware/freeware.
How do I connect my keyboard/synth to the MPC1000 and how do I control the sounds of my keyboard?
Connect the MIDI Out of the keyboard to the MIDI In 1 of the MPC1000 and the MIDI Out A of the MPC1000 to the MIDI In of your keyboard.
Set your keyboard to LOCAL OFF.
On the MPC1000, Mode: MIDI/SYNC, MIDI tab, set "Active Track Receive Channel" to ALL and "Soft Thru" to AS TRACK. After that, your keyboard will play the same sounds as the pads, i.e. whatever is set on the selected Track. The MIDI field of the selected sequence Track, on the Main page, controls where you direct the MIDI output from that Track. You can use this in combination with the Program field, so one Track can control both the MPC1000 sampler and/or an external synth. To automatically select sounds on your synth, you can embed Program Changes in a sequence by recording them or using the Step Edit Insert command.
Of course, this only covers the MIDI data, not audio. To hear both the sound from the MPC1000 sampler and from your keyboard, the audio outputs of both units should be connected to a mixing board.
What is the benefit of having two sets of MIDI In / Out?
The two MIDI Inputs allow connecting a MIDI controller (keyboard, drum pads) to one input while the other input is used to receive MIDI Sync from another unit such as a digital recorder. Otherwise, you would need an outboard MIDI Merger.
The two Midi Outputs allow the MPC1000 to control 32 external MIDI Channels (16x2), in addition to the 24 internal Programs. This is very useful if you have more than one outboard multi-timbral sound generator (for instance, your keyboard and a sound module).
