Using the MPC5000 with External Devices 186
(EXT) will be displayed in the 'BPM' field.
Note: The tempo being set in the sequence will be displayed when the sequence is stopped.
Note: The MIDI clock signal has tempo information. The slave device will follow the master device’s tempo regardless of
its original 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.
MIDI Time Code (MTC)
In addition to MIDI clock, the MPC5000 can sync to and transmit MIDI Time Code, or MTC. MIDI Time code is a
standard protocol to allow various devices, such as Hard Disk recorders, video cameras and tape based recorders to
sync together. MIDI Time Code contains location information in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames, but unlike MIDI Clock,
it does not contain tempo information. The following frame rates are supported:
24 Frames Typically used in video productions where the finished product will
be transferred to film. Also used in HD video production.
25 Frames Used in PAL format video production.
30 Drop (29.97)Frames Used in NTSC video production.
30 Non Drop Frames Originally used with music video production, this is the most
common format for syncing audio devices.
NOTE: since MIDI Time Code is used to sync vastly different devices, 'chase' time is often required to ensure that all
devices will be accurately locked to the same time. For the MPC5000 it is recommended that a song to be synced to
MTC contain at least 1 blank measure in the beginning to allow for accurate sync. Most Hard Disk recorders recommend
10 seconds of chase time. Some tape based video decks require a minimum of 30 seconds. For recommended chase
times, please see your master device's owners manual.
Time code Display
Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames can be displayed on the MPC5000. From the Main screen,
use the [CURSOR] buttons to select the 'Now' field. Scroll with the [DATA] wheel. The
display will change as shown.
MPC5000 as the Slave
To sync the MPC5000 to MIDI Time Code, do the following:
01. Connect the MIDI output of your master device to one of the MIDI inputs on the MPC5000.
02. Make sure your master device is set to send MIDI Time Code.
03. press [MODE] + [PAD 8] (MIDI)
04. In the 'Sync in' field, choose the MIDI input the master device is connected to.
05. In the 'Mode' field, choose 'MIDI TIME CODE'
When the MPC receives MIDI Time Code, it will automatically determine frame rate, and sync to the master device.
MPC5000 as the Master
To sync MTC capable devices to the MPC5000, do the following:
01. Connect the MIDI input of your master device to one of the MIDI outputs on the MPC5000.
02. Make sure your slave device is set to receive MIDI Time Code.
03. press [MODE] + [PAD 8] (MIDI)
04. In the 'Sync out' field, choose the MIDI output the slave device is connected to.
05. In the 'Mode' field, choose 'MIDI TIME CODE'
06. In the 'Frame Rate' field, select the frame rate appropriate for your slave device.
For more information on appropriate frame rates for your slave devices, consult the devices owner's manual.
