Chapter 5: Song Mode

COMMENT: Occasionally you may see the message Ana-

lyzing sequence. Please wait...

on the lowest

line of the screen, asking that you wait briefly while the

MPC3000 does some thinking. This occurs after you make

changes in the song, but only if the song contains a large

number of different sequences. Once this process is done, all

subsequent fast-forward, rewind, and locate operations will

be immediate.

COMMENT: If you notice a timing irregularity in your song

at the point of transition from one sequence to another, the

problem may be due to the assignments of the Pgm field (in

the Play/Record screen) for the sequence that plays immedi-

ately after the timing irregularity. If a sequence containing

these program assignments is played in Song mode (or if the

sequence is selected manually while the MPC3000 is play-

ing), the sequence’s program assignments are sent out at the

moment that the sequence starts to play in the song. This can

present a problem, because most synthesizers require time to

change programs, which can cause any notes existing at the

start of the new sequence to be delayed. This delay is brief in

most synthesizers, but is usually enough to cause a timing

irregularity when it occurs at the start of a sequence. To

avoid this problem, don’t assign program changes to se-

quences that you are using in Song mode. If you need to use

program changes within the song, make sure that no notes

exist at the start of the sequences that contain the program

changes. Another alternative is to insert MIDI Program

Change commands within the sequences in the song at

locations where no notes exist.
