Chapter 10: Syncing to Tape and Other Devices

Syncing to Tape and Other Devices: Examples

This section provides step-by-step examples of how to sync to each of

the five sync signals.

Syncing to MIDI Clock

To generate MIDI clock with Song Position Pointer:

1. In the Sync screen, set the MIDI sync field (in the Sync Out

section) to the MIDI port that you want the sync signal to be sent

from (OUT A, OUT B, OUT C or OUT D.)

2. Play a sequence (or, if in Song mode, play a song). While playing,

the MIDI clock signal will be sent out over MIDI at the current

tempo.

To slave the MPC3000 to MIDI clock signal received from an

external device:

1. Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI output of the device sending

MIDI clock to one of the MPC3000’s MIDI inputs.

2. In the Sync screen, set the Mode field (in the Sync In section) to

MIDI CLOCK and set the MIDI input field to the number of

the MIDI input to which you have connected the cable.

3. In the Sync screen, SOFT KEY 1 should show the text

<SyncIn=ON>. If it shows <SyncIn=OFF>, press it once.

4. Set up your MPC3000 sequence or song to play as normal.

5. Start the external device sending MIDI clock. The MPC3000 will

automatically play in sync.

Syncing to SMPTE

To record a SMPTE track:

SMPTE timecode can only be generated by the MPC3000 when it is

not playing. Before recording any music to tape, record (“stripe”)

SMPTE timecode onto one track of your multitrack tape.
