• The MIDI OUTPUT field:

This is the Midi output jack number (1 - 4) through which the sound data

will be sent. Set this field to the number of the midi output jack you used

to connect to the external sampler.

• The FORMAT field:

This is a choice field and has 2 options: STANDARD and 5900. Select 5900

if you are transferring to or from an Akai 5900 sampler; use STANDARD

for any other sampler which supports the Midi Sample Dump standard.

NOTE: The MPC60 can not transfer samples to or from the Akai 5700

or 57000 samplers.

• The FREE MEM(SMPLS) field:

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

kilosamples, which is currently available to load new sounds into. You may

notice that this number is different than the number shown in the SOUND

MEMORY AVAILABLE field in the LOAD/ERASE/RENAME FILES

screen. This is because this screen shows the available memory in SAMPLES

(12 bits each) and the disk screen shows free memory in BYTES (8 bits

each). The number of available bytes is always 1 1/2 times the number of

available samples.

• The DRUM and NAME fields:

The DRUM field is used to select which drum (drum pad) the transferred

sound will load into. The NAME field shows the name of the sound which

is currently assigned to that drum. If a name appears in the NAME field,

the selected drum is currently in use, and will be overwritten when the

transfer is executed. If the name "unused" appears, the selected drum is

currently empty.

• The SELECT SOUND TO <RECEIVE> section:

When <Receive> is pressed, the MPC60 sends out a signal over midi to

request that the connected sampler start transmitting sample data. This

request contains two numbers, used to identify to the other sampler which

sample to transmit:

• The REQUEST CHANNEL field:

Since many samplers may be connected via midi at once, it is

necessary to request only one sampler to send its data at a time. To

select which sampler receives the "dump request" signal, set this

field to the same midi channel number as the receive channel of the

sampler you want to receive data from.

• The REQUEST SAMPLE field:

Since a sampler normally holds many samples at one time, it is

necessary to select which sample will be sent. The number in this

field is used to tell the sampler which sample
