• The Sig field (time signature):
This is actually two fields—the upper and lower half of the time
signature to be used for recording. When
<Proceed> is pressed,
the selected sequence will be initialized to one bar of the time
signature entered in these two fields.
• The
Drums on ch
field (drums on channel):
If one of the incoming MIDI channels will contain drum data and
you would like the corresponding MPC3000 track to be a DRUM
track, specify that MIDI channel here. When
<Proceed> is
pressed, this track number will have its Type field set to DRUM .
• The <Proceed> soft key:
When all of the above fields have been entered, press this soft key to
initialize the selected sequence and move on to the second Record 16
Channels screen:
======== Record all 16 channels ========
Seq: 1-Sequence_name BPM:120.0 (SEQ)
Sig: 4/ 4 Bars: 1 Loop:OFF
========================================
While holding RECORD, play ext sequencer
with MIDI clock.
===== Bar:001.01.00 (00:00:00.00) ======
<Done>
This is the screen in which the actual recording will take place. The
selected sequence has now been initialized to contain one bar of the
time signature entered in the previous screen. The first 16 tracks
have been assigned to MIDI channels 1 through 16, as described
above. All tracks have their Type assigned to MIDI except for the
track number specified in the
Drums on ch field in the previous
screen, which has been initialized to DRUM.
The fields and soft key are:
• The
Seq
field:
This field shows the sequence number that was entered in the
previous screen. In this screen it is for display only and cannot be
changed.
• The Sequence Name field ( Seq: 1-SEQ01 SEQ01 SEQ01 SEQ01 SEQ01 in the above example
screen):
This is the selected sequence’s name. It can be changed in the same
manner as the Sequence Name field in the Play/Record screen.
• The Tempo Display Mode, Active Tempo, and Tempo Source fields:
These three fields operate exactly as their counterparts in the Play/
Record screen do.
