field. This setting is stored with the active sequence when it is saved to disk.

• The SHIFT SYNC EARLY(MSECS) field (appears in all modes except

SMPTE and MIDI TIME CODE): This field is used to compensate for any

sync delays or delays produced by slow synthesizer attacks. It accomplishes

this by shifting the MPC60's playback earlier by a specified number of

milliseconds. If the sync playback appears to be late, adjust this field until the

sync playback is exactly on time. This field does not appear when either

SMPTE or MIDI TIME CODE is selected because these sync modes use

the SEQUENCE STARTS AT SMPTE# field for the same purpose.

• The MIDI IN field (appears in MIDI TIME CODE, MIDI CLOCK, and

MIDI CLOCK W/SONG PNTR modes only): This field is used to select

which of the two midi inputs will be used to receive the midi sync signals,

input 1 or input 2. Normally, input 2 is used so that input 1 may be used

simultaneously to receive midi keyboard data.

• The 1/4 CLICKS START AT field (appears in 1/4 NOTE CLICK

mode only):

This field is a choice field and has two selections: BAR 1 and CURRENT

BAR. It is only used when the sync input mode is set to 1/4 NOTE

CLICKS and is used to determine whether the sequence will start playing

from the start or from the start of the current bar when the first click is

received. The two choices are:

1. BAR 1: The first incoming click will start the sequence

playing from the start of the sequence (this is the default

setting).

2. CURRENT BAR: The first incoming click will start the

sequence playing the from the start of the current bar.

• The SMPTE ACCURACY field (appears in SMPTE and MIDI

TIME CODE modes only): This is a choice field and has 2 options:

1. EXACT: For all future recordings, use this setting. It provides

exact conversion of incoming SMPTE or MIDI TIME CODE

numbers into the tempo settings used internally in the MPC60.

2. BEFORE VERS 2.0: Before version 2.0 software for the

MPC60, the internal SMPTE to tempo conversion was inaccurate

by as much as

1 2 ... 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 ... 227 228
