Hello All- Quick question for the mpc5000 guys...does the mpc5000 have something similar to the mpc4000's pad routing block that allows the pads output to be routed directly out of the midi out instead of the sequencer? I've read through the manual and didn't see anything.

Thanks for your help.

The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, as they were for ASICs, but this is increasingly rare). FPGAs can be used to implement any logical function that an ASIC could perform. The FPGA logic block consists of a 4-input look-up table (LUT), and a flip flop, as shown below. There is only one output, which can be either the registered or the unregistered LUT output.


I think you missed the mark on that one....
