Chapter 11: MIDI Function

MIDI Receive Channel, Local Mode, Soft Thru,

Note Variation Controller Assign and Sustain

Pedal Processing

Selecting option 2 from the MIDI key menu will display a screen

that provides access to a variety of MIDI-related parameters:

============= MIDI Routing =============

Active track receive channel:ALL

Local mode:ON Soft thru:ON

Assign Note Var slider to controller: 20

Convert sustain pedal to duration:ON

========================================

The fields and soft keys are:

• The Active track receive channel field:

This choice field determines on which MIDI channel the active track

receives its data from the MIDI inputs. The choices are 1-16 or ALL

(all channels).

COMMENT: If using the MPC3000 as a sound generator

played from the MIDI input, set this field to the MIDI chan-

nel you wish the sound generator to receive on. Also, select a

DRUM track in the Play/Record screen. This will cause all

incoming MIDI note events on the selected receive channel to

be routed to the internal sound generator.

• The Local mode field:

This is a choice field with two options: ON or OFF. If ON, playing the

pads causes the internal sounds to play as normal. If OFF, then

playing the front panel pads does not send notes internally to the

sound generator but does send notes to the MIDI output (if the

active track is a drums track and the Play/Record screen’s Chn field

is set to a MIDI channel). In the OFF mode, the internal sound

generator receives notes from MIDI but not from the pads.

Setting this field to OFF is useful if you want to use the MPC3000’s

pads and sound generator with an external sequencer. This allows

the pads to send notes out over MIDI without playing the internal

sounds directly, and allows the external sequencer to play the

sounds from the MIDI inputs.

• The Soft thru field:

If set to ON, any incoming MIDI data are routed in real time to the

active track’s assigned output MIDI channel. If set to OFF,
