Other settings Adjusting the master level You can adjust the level of the headphone and the stereo out by turning the MAIN VOLUME knob. The MAIN VOLUME changes the analog signal level. This will also adjust the entire level of the MPC1000 digitally. 01. Press the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 10] (OTHER). It switches to the OTHER mode. 02. Press the [F1] (GLOBAL) key. The GLOBAL page will be displayed. 03. In the Master level field, set the level. You will set the digital signal level, which will be sent out to the DA converter. The MPC1000 can output up to 32 sounds simultaneously. There is the great difference in the level when you play single sample and play 32 sounds. If you increase the value in the Mater level field, you can increase the entire level of the MPC1000 to create more powerful sound with less noise. However, if you playback many sounds at the same time, the level may be overloaded, which may cause distortion. If you decrease the value in the Master level field, you can prevent distortion when you play many sounds at the same time. However, you cannot have a good result in respect to the noise or punch of the sound. Set the appropriate value in the Master level field depending on the application. Adjusting the contrast of LCD You can adjust the contrast of the LCD display by turning the DATA wheel with holding [SHIFT] key. Adjusting the contrast of LCD can be done in any page.
