    are the basic terminologies you need to know to operate the MPC1000: Sequence Sequence is the most basic unit that you use when you create data with the MPC 1000. The data from the MIDI keyboard or pads will be recorded to each track in a sequence. A sequence has 64 tracks, each of which can hold

    , you will learn how to select and edit effects. The MPC1000 has two stereo effects and one master effect. To apply the effects to a specific pad sound, use the two stereo effects. To apply effects to the entire sound, use the master effect. Note: The effect settings will be saved with the ALL file
