• SAMPLE Page: Auto Chromatic Sample Assignment
JJ incorporated this feature from the MPC 2500
into the MPC 1000. Samples can now be assigned
chromatically to all pads (from A01 to D16). The
drum pads will correspond to a note range from
35 to 98 on a MIDI keyboard. To assign a sample
chromatically in GPE, do the following:
• Auto Chromatic Sample Assignment

Move the cursor to the 'SAMPLE' column and press
[WHOLE] (F6).
Next, select the sample you want to assign chromatically
by turning the DATA wheel. You’ll notice that the same
sample is used for all Pads.
Now move the cursor to the 'TUNE' column and press
[WINDOW].
In the 'Auto Chromatic Assign' screen, set the range of
pads you want a sample to be chromatically assigned
to:
Low: Sets the pad with the lowest pitch. In this
example pad A01.
Original: Sets the pad which contains the original
(unpitched) sample after auto chromatic
assignment (here C01).
High: Sets the pad with the highest pitch of a
sample.

Press 'DO IT' (F5). Done.
What about OPE?
NOTE: Of course, you can use the regular or 'old'
Program Editor (OPE) to chromatically assign a
sample.
Press [MODE] + [Pad 7] to enter the OPE. Inside,
highlight the pitch of a sample in the 'Tune' column and
press [WINDOW]. In the 'Pitch Modulation' screen,
press 'AUTO' (F5). Next, select the lowest key in the
'Source' field and the original key in the field below.
Edit the name of the new program that will be created
if you want, then press 'DO IT' (F5). Done.
