3.18 Transferring sequences to and from other
sequencers
Transferring sequences from the MPC60 to an external
sequences:
Some sequencers are able to record data from all
16
midi channels
independently and simultaneously onto one track. To transfer a sequence
from the
MPC60
to a sequences of this type:
1. Set the
MPC60
to generate
MIDI
CLOCK (explained in
section 8 of this manual),
2. Set the external sequences to receive
MIDI
CLOCK,
3. Set the external sequences ready to start recording as soon as a
MIDI
START message is received from the
MPC60,
4. Play the
MPC60.
If the external sequences does not allow the recording of all
16
midi
channels simultaneously, you must transfer one track at a time.
Transferring sequences from an external sequences to the
MPC60:
Normally, the
MPC60
may only record one track at a time. However, there is
a special mode of recording which allows you to record all
16
channels at
once, which is very useful when transferring sequences from other
sequencers. This feature works by recording the
16
incoming channels onto
the first
16
tracks of a newly created empty sequence, with each track is
assigned to the same numbered midi channel. For example, track 1 assigns
to channel 1, track 2 assigns to channel 2, up through track
16
which assigns
to channel
16.
The track setup is done automatically for you when you select
the new sequence to be recorded into.
NOTE: It is not possible to overdub or record into an existing
sequence while using this special mode.
To record all
16
channels from an external sequences, follow these steps:
1. Connect the external sequencer's
MIDI
OUT to the
MPC60's MIDI
IN 1.
(You may alternatively use input 2 - both inputs merge together.) Also, set
the external sequences to send
MIDI
CLOCK signals (with or without song
position pointer).
