MPC3000 Software Update Version 3.1 Operators Manual
MIDI Machine Control
MIDI Machine Control (abbreviated “MMC”) is a standard system of commu-
nication over MIDI that allows the MPC3000 to remotely control the trans-
port of an MMC-compatible audio or video recorder. By using MIDI Machine
Control, the MPC3000 can remotely play, record, stop or reposition an exter-
nal recorder.
To use MIDI Machine Control, press MIDI, then 4, and the MIDI Machine
Control screen will appear:
========= MIDI Machine Control =========
Send MMC:OFF MIDI out:A
(Shortcut to toggle MMC on or off from
Play/Record or Song screens: hold STOP
& press PLAY.)
========================================
To turn MMC on:
1. Connect a MIDI cable from one of the MPC3000’s MIDI outputs to
the external recorders MIDI input.
2. Set the MMC field in the above screen to ON.
3. Set the MIDI out field in the above screen to the same MIDI
output port to which you connected the external recorder.
4. Set the external recorder to respond to MMC commands. (The ex-
ternal recorder must be MMC-compatible.)
While MMC is on, the keys in the Play/Record section of the front panel have
different functions:
PLAY: This does not play the MPC3000 sequencer. Instead, it sends
an MMC “deferred play” command to the external recorder, causing
it to play.
STOP: This does not stop the MPC3000 sequencer. Instead, it sends
an MMC “stop” command to the external recorder.
PLAY START: This does not play the MPC3000 sequencer. Instead,
it sends an MMC “Locate (to start)” command, followed by a “de-
ferred play” command, causing it to play from the start of the record-
ing.
