Initializing System Parameters
There are a number of parameters in the MPC3000 that are not
saved in SEQ, ALL, SND, PGM, or APS disk files. These settings,
called system parameters, are retained in a special memory that
doesn’t lose its contents when the power is turned off. These settings
include:
• Names for all 64 MIDI channels
• Master tempo
• BPM/FPB select and frames per second select
• MIDI Input Filter settings
• Default settings for initializing sequences
. . .and many more (see the Appendix for a complete list).
To initialize these system parameters to their factory preset state,
press the OTHER key, then select the
<Init PAR> soft key. The
following screen will appear:
