3. Record the data on track

Select the track16 to record and start playing back the MPC2000/XL.

Move the CUTOFF knob (Mono channel) as the playback of Bass and Drum parts begin.

The movement of CUTOFF knob will be recorded on the track16.

4. Playback the recorded data

Press the [PLAY] key to playback the recorded data.

When the Bass sound changes as it did in recording, the MFC42’s data is properly recorded on the

track16 (You may also check the recorded data in Step Edit mode).

In the above example, only the operation of CUTOFF knob has been recorded, but operation of other keys

and knobs can also be recorded as well.

Recording the settings

When the settings of MFC42 have been recorded (Send Scene function) at the beginning of sequence, it

can be recalled when it’s played back from the beginning of the song, even if the keys and knobs are

operated in the middle of the song.

1. Select the track to record data

Since the tracks 1, 10 and 16 are already in use, select the track other than 1, 10 and 16. Let’s use the

track15.

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

The recording track has been selected as track15, but the MIDI channel is set as MIDI channel 16.

Since the MFC42 can have only one MIDI channel, the previous control data recorded on track16

cannot be played back when the MIDI channel is set as channel 15.

For example, if the MIDI channels are assigned as follows, the MIDI channel data on track16 can be

received, but not the data on track15 as its MIDI channel is different.

MFC42 ......... MIDI channel 16

Track16 ........ MIDI channel 16

Track15 ........ MIDI channel 15

3. Record the setting on track

The settings data is recorded at the beginning of sequence in Step Edit mode. On Track15, be sure that

the now time is at the beginning of sequence. Press the STEP (F1) key to open the Step Edit screen.

Pressing the + and - keys of MFC42 simultaneously records the setting data on the Track15 of the

MPC2000/XL.

The movement of CUTOFF knob should be recorded on the track 16.

4. Playback the setting data

First, make the MFC42 settings different by moving the keys and knobs from those of recorded data.

Now, playback the sequence data from the beginning to confirm the recorded settings on the MFC42

has been recalled (recorded data can be viewed in Step Edit mode).
