MIDI Sync

The connection via MIDI enables to sync the LFO speed/trigger timing of Envelope to the tempo of

MPC2000/XL.

MPC2000/XL setting

Set the MPC2000/XL to Master mode in MIDI/SYNC mode to send out the sync signal to the MFC42. Press

MFC42 operation

Refer to “Control the cut-off cyclically with Groove Modulator (MIDI CLOCK SYNC)” section in Chapter 3.

Recording the settings and operation of keys and knobs on the MPC2000/XL

The data is recorded onto the sequence track of the MPC2000/XL.

Note: Select the empty track for this purpose. If the data is recorded on the track with other data, the

sequence data of the MFC42 will be mixed and become difficult to edit later on.

Recording the keys and knobs

As an example, we’ll change the Bass part sound on the Mono channel with the CUTOFF knob and record

its knob movement.

First, confirm the MIDI Receive channel of the MPC2000/XL is set to ALL in the MIDI Input window. The

ALL is the default setting. Set it to ALL, when necessary. The following illustration shows the MIDI Input

window of the MPC2000XL.

1. Select the track to record

Since the tracks 1 and 10 are already in use for Bass and Drum part, select the track other than 1 and

10. Let’s use the track16, here.

2. Set the MIDI channel on MPC2000/XL and MFC42

The MIDI channel for the MFC42 and that of the MPC2000/XL for recording/playback track (track16)

must be the same. Set the MIDI channel to 16 for both MFC42 and MPC2000/XL.

The track and MIDI channels are set as Bass (Trk1, Ch1), Drum (Trk10, Ch10) and MFC42 (Trk16,

Ch16).
