Appendix

1. Erase any unnecessary events from the sequence. For example,

erase any channel pressure, poly pressure and system exclusive

events if you are not using them. Many keyboards send out large

amounts of channel pressure messages while playing, which are

recorded into your tracks. If you are not using these messages,

removing them from the tracks will improve the playback timing.

To block these messages from being recorded into new sequences,

use the MIDI Input Filter.

2. Erase any tracks that are turned off but still exist in the se-

quence. Turning a track off (the On field in the Play/Record

screen) eases the processing requirement for playing the track,

but doesn’t eliminate it.

3. If you only need to improve the timing while recording your

sequence to tape and are using a sync tone, then record the

sequence to tape a few tracks at a time, and turn off or erase the

tracks you are not using on each pass. By eliminating the need

for the MPC3000 to process the tracks that aren’t being heard,

the timing of the remaining tracks will be improved.

4. In the Play/Record screen, disable Record Ready by selecting a

different sequence, then the original one. This slightly lessens

the processing requirement.

5. If the delay is due to many notes existing at one tick, then either

delete some of the notes or spread them around to neighboring

ticks.

How can I reduce the time required for the “Analyzing sequence.

Please wait...” message?

This message is most noticeable during song mode. It appears once

after the song is edited and when the song screen is entered while a

long song is selected. The reason for this delay is that the MPC3000

must scan through the entire song to learn where the start of each

bar is. Once this is done, any rewind, fast forward or locate opera-

tion will be very fast. Also, response to incoming SMPTE will be

nearly immediate. Unfortunately, there is no way to reduce the time

required for this message other than reducing the complexity of the

song.

I want to use the MPC3000 only as a sound generator receiving

notes from another sequencer. How can I get it to play from only

one MIDI channel?

1. Press the MIDI key and select option 2. In the screen that ap-

pears, set the Active track receive channel field to

the channel you want the MPC3000 to receive on.

2. In the Play/Record screen, set the Type field to DRUM or select a

track that has a Type of DRUM.

3. Load in the desired program.
