MPC3000 Options

This section describes the various options available for the

MPC3000. To purchase any of these items, contact your Akai re-

tailer. These options should be installed only by an authorized Akai

retailer or service center.

The SMPTE Option

The I-0055 SMPTE option gives your MPC3000 the ability to play

in sync to externally received SMPTE sync signals in one of four

frame formats: 24, 25, 29.97 drop, and 30. This option is not needed

to generate SMPTE code.

To Service Technicians

Installation of the I-0055 SMPTE/EBU IC chip

1. Open the operation panel of the MPC3000; Detach the CPU jack

daughter board (L4012B509B) on the CPU main board

(L4012A5010) by removing the 3 screws.

2. Attach the I-0055 IC chip to the IC26 socket on the CPU main

board (L4012A5010). Make sure that the No. 1 pin of the I-0055

chip is correctly placed as guided by the mark.

3. Replace the CPU jack daughter board (L4012B509B) on the CPU

main board (L4012A5010).

Expanding the Sound Memory

The MPC3000 includes 2 megabytes of sound memory but is ex-

pandable using common SIMM 1 megabyte or 4 megabyte memory

modules and an 8 megabyte memory board from Akai, the

EXM3008. Internally, there are two SIMM sockets and one connec-

tor for an Akai memory board. When the MPC3000 is shipped from

the factory, its SIMM sockets are empty and the Akai connector

contains an Akai 2 megabyte memory board. You can expand the

memory in either or both of two ways:

1. In the SIMM sockets, install either a pair of 1 megabyte SIMMs

(adding 2 megabytes) or a pair of 4 megabyte SIMMs (adding 8

megabytes). You must fill both sockets and the 2 SIMMs installed

must be identical. The SIMM modules must have a speed of 150

nanoseconds (ns) or faster.

2. Remove the standard 2 megabyte Akai memory board from its

socket and replace it with an Akai 8 megabyte memory board, the

EXM3008.
