Chapter 9: Using the MPC1000 with external devices

Note: The MIDI clock signal has tempo information. The slave

device will follow the master device’s tempo regardless of its origi-

nal tempo.

Note:

The MIDI clock signal does not have time information. If

the time settings of the master and the slave are different, they will

still play in sync but their time position display may be different.

Connecting the MPC1000 to

the MIDI keyboard with the

sound module

In this section, you can learn how to connect the MPC1000 to

a MIDI keyboard which has an internal sound module to

use the MPC1000’s sequencer feature.

Normally, The MIDI keyboard with the sound module is set

to generate the sound from the internal sound module when

you play the keyboard. However, The MPC1000 sends out

any incoming MIDI signals to the MIDI keyboard at the MIDI

output. So, if you play the keyboard, the performance will

be played in duplicate. To use the MPC1000 as a sequencer,

you need to change the setting on the MIDI keyboard so that

the MPC1000, not the MIDI keyboard, plays the keyboard’s

internal sound module.

Normally this could be done by changing the setting called

“local control”. By setting the MIDI keyboard’s local control

to OFF, you can use the external keyboard and its internal

sound module separately.

In this case, the MIDI signal flows as in the figure in the right.

The performance data from the MIDI keyboard will be en-

tered to the MPC1000.

It will not be sent to the internal sound module.

The MIDI output of the MPC1000 will be sent back to the MIDI

keyboard, which will plays the keyboards sound module.

For more information about the setting of your MIDI

keyboard’s local control, see the keyboard’s operation manual.

If your MIDI keyboard does not have a local control setting,

deactivate the MPC1000’s soft through function. In this case,

the MPC1000 will output only the data that is recorded on the

track, not the incoming MIDI signal.

However, if you do this, you cannot use some MPC1000 fea-

tures, such as note repeat.

01. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE]

key and hitting the [PAD 9] (MIDI/SYNC).

02. Press the [F1] (MIDI) key.

The MIDI page will be displayed.

03. Select the Soft thru field and select OFF.

The soft thru field determines how to output the

incoming MIDI signal.

You can select the following options:

OFF The MPC1000 will not output the in-

coming MIDI signal.

AS TRACK

The MPC1000 refers to the MIDI chan-

nel setting of the sequence’s track. The

channel information of the incoming

MIDI signal will be replaced with the

MIDI channel selected the track.

OMNI- A

The MPC1000 will output the incoming

MIDI data as it is from MIDI OUT A.

OMNI- B

The MPC1000 will output the incoming

MIDI data as it is from MIDI OUT B.

OMNI- AB The MPC1000 will output the incom-

ing MIDI data as it is from both MIDI

OUT A and B.

Setting the MIDI input

Normally, the MPC1000 can receive the incoming MIDI data

regardless of the MIDI channel, so you do not have to worry

about the MIDI channel of the connected MIDI devices. You

can change the setting to receive only the data on a specific

MIDI channel.

01. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE]

key and hitting the [PAD 9] (MIDI / SYNC).

02. Press the [F1] (MIDI) key.

The MIDI page will be displayed.

03.

Select the Active track receive channel field and select

the MIDI channel from which you wish to receive the data.

If you set this field to ALL, the MPC1000 will receive

all channels. If you select any channel from 1 to 15,

the MPC1000 will receive only the selected channel.
