LFO means Low Frequency Oscillator, it´s an oscillator that oscillates at frequencies below the audible range. It´s used to modulate parameters in the sounds signal path, for example it could modulate the volume to create a vibrato at moderate depth and a tremolo at full depth. In the MPC 1000 it can modulate volume, both filters and the pitch.
Even though it´s not as flexible and versatile on the MPC as it is in most synths and dedicated samplers it´s a nice addition to the machine which can, if used properly, inject a lot of life in static samples
