Receiving a MIDI sample dump from an external sampler

To receive a MIDI Sample Dump, make sure that the receive screen is show-

ing. If not, press <Send/recv>. The screen fields and soft keys are de-

scribed below:

• The MIDI input field:

This is the MIDI input jack number (1 or 2) through which the sound data will

be received. Set this field to the number of the MIDI input jack you used to

connect to the external sampler.

• The MIDI output field:

This is the MIDI output jack (A, B, C or D) through which the sound data will

be sent. Set this field to the MIDI output jack you used to connect to the

external sampler.

• The MIDI channel field:

Enter here the same MIDI channel that the external sampler is set to trans-

fer on.

• The Free samples field:

This field is not changeable— it displays the amount of memory, in kilosamples,

that is currently available to load new sounds into. This number should be

exactly double the number of free kilobytes, shown in the “Load, erase, re-

name file” screen.

• The Requested sound field:

This field is used only if you are using “closed loop” mode (two MIDI cables).

Enter the number of the sound (of the sounds currently loaded in the external

sampler) that you want to receive.

• The <Send req> soft key:

This soft key is used only if you are using “closed loop” mode (two MIDI cables).

When pressed, the MPC3000 sends out a “dump request” message to the ex-

ternal sampler, tell it to start sending the sound number entered in the Re-

quested sound field.

• The <Send/recv> soft key:

Pressing this soft key toggles between the send and receive screens.

You may start the sample dump in one of two ways:

1. At the external sampler.

While the MPC3000’s receive screen is showing, it stands ready to re-

ceive a sample dump. Initiate the transfer at the external sampler.

2. Send a “dump request” to the external sampler.

This method may only be used if the two devices are connected using

“closed loop” mode (two MIDI cables). First, set the Requested sound

1 2 ... 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 ... 275 276
