1. 30 (30 frames per second, non-drop):

This is the old NTSC standard for black and white

television, and is the most popular standard for

SMPTE-based music production in the U.S. and

Japan. To assure widest compatibility for your

recordings, use this standard if you are working in

this field.

2. 29.97 DROP (29.97 frames per second, drop frame):

This is the NTSC standard for color television. In the

MPC60 version 2 software and earlier, this mode was

erroneously called 30 DROP; we apologize for this

mistake. To be clear, this signal runs at a rate of

29.97 frames per second and frames are

occasionally omitted, in accordance with the SMPTE

drop frame standard.

3. 24 (24 frames per second):

This is the standard for film. However, since film is

usually transferred to video for scoring, composers

generally still work with video rates of 30 or 29.97

drop.

4. 25 (25 frames per second, non-drop):

This is the standard for European television (PAL

/SECAM standard).

If MIDI TIME CODE is selected in the Mode field, the following screen is

displayed:

In this case, the fields are:

• The Start field:

This has the same function as the field of the same name that

appears when SMPTE is selected in the Mode field, as

described above.

• The Frames field:

This has the same function as the field of the same name that

appears when SMPTE is selected in the Mode field.

• The MIDI in field:
