Page 79 in the manual... you want to change the option to TUNE see step 3
You can play a sound using 16 parameter levels assigned to the 16
pads.
01. Hit the pad that you wish to play in 16 levels.
02. Press the [16 LEVELS] button.
The Assign 16 Levels window will be displayed.
The 'Pad' field displays the pad you selected in step 1.
03. In the 'Type' field, select the type of the parameter that you
wish to play in 16 levels.
You can select the following parameters;
VELOCITY
The MPC5000 will play the velocity in 16 levels.
TUNE
The MPC5000 will play a single pad in a sample program by varying pitch in 16 levels by semitone.
FILTER
The MPC5000 will play the filter cutoff value in 16 levels.
LAYER
The MPC5000 will play the layer value in 16 levels.
DECAY
The MPC5000 will play the decay value in 16 levels.
ATTACK
The MPC5000 will play the attack value in 16 levels.
When TUNE is selected, the Original key 'Pad' field will be displayed. In this field, you can specify the pad that plays the original key pad.
04. Press the [F5] (TurnON) button.
