MPC3000 Software Update Version 3.1 Operator’s Manual

MIDI Sample Dump

MIDI Sample Dump is an industry-standard format for transferring sample

data between sampling devices over MIDI. To use this feature, you must first

connect the MPC3000 to the external sampler using either one or two MIDI

cables:

1. Using one MIDI cable:

This is called “open loop” mode and although simpler is also less reliable

and often slower than closed loop mode. If sending data from the MPC3000

to the external sampler, connect a MIDI cable from one of the MPC3000’s

MIDI outputs to the MIDI input of the external sampler. If sending data

from the external sampler to the MPC3000, connect a MIDI cable from

the external sampler’s MIDI output to one of the MPC3000’s MIDI in-

puts.

2. Using two MIDI cables:

This is called “closed loop” mode and is more reliable and often faster

than open loop mode. Regardless of the direction of data transfer, connect

one MIDI cable from one of the MPC3000’s MIDI outputs to the MIDI

input of the external sampler and another MIDI cable from the external

sampler’s MIDI output to one of the MPC3000’s MIDI inputs.

To send or receive a MIDI Sample Dump, press the PROGRAM/SOUNDS key,

then type 9, and the following screen will appear:

====== MIDI Sample Dump (Receive) ======

MIDI input:2 MIDI output:B

MIDI channel: 1 Free samples: 981K

(Send from ext device or hit <Send req>)

===== Select sound for <Send req> ======

Requested sound: 1

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

This is the MIDI Sample Dump screen. There are actually two screens— one

for receiving and one for sending. To toggle between the send and receive

screens, press the <Send/recv> soft key.

Receiving and sending MIDI sample dumps are individually described in the

following two sections.
