midi controller

hi, is it possible to use the mpc1000 as a normal midi-controller, to controll a software for example? and if it's possible will i be able to switch quickly between midi-controller mode and normal mpc mode??

greetings stecke

thats what a midi controller is for. yes its possible

The mpc can be used as a midi controller, but you cant assign all the buttons and the jogwheel to send midi data. Only the pads and the qlink sliders (sliders only with JJ OS)

If you are using the jog wheel to scroll through ticks in a sequence, it will send the appropriate midi commands to control the position pointer in a DAW, and of course STOP START CONTINUE work if you are sending clock sync. These are hard-coded messages that cannot be altered by the user from the MPC..

Of course the pads can be configured to send any note within the MPCs (still limited) note range. Also, if the latest version of the MPC 1000 JJ OS is used, you are able to configure the q link faders to send controller messages via midi.

That's pretty much it, there's no "alternate controller mode" and none of the other controls have any capability to send midi signals.
