8.7 Syncing to Midi Time Code

Midi Time Code is basically SMPTE time code encoded over Midi.

Since it is a Midi signal, it cannot be recorded on tape, but it is used

rather to sync to devices such as drum machines and sequencers.

The MPC60 does not generate Midi Time Code, but does sync to it

when generated from an external source.

To play back a sequence in sync to Midi Time

Code:

1. Connect a Midi cable from the output of the device sending the Midi

Time Code to the Midi input 2 of the MPC60. (You may

alternatively use input 1- if so, set the MIDI IN field to l.)

2. From the PLAY/R,ECORD screen, select the sequence which you

intend to record to tape.

3. Press the TEMPO/SYNC ke

and the tem

o screen will a

ear:

4. Set the TEMPO SOURCE SELECT field to SEQUENCE. This causes

the MPC60 to use the tempo setting stored within the sequence, so that

it will always be remembered even if the sequence is saved to disk and

later recalled. It is important for the MPC60 to remember the tempo

setting because the Midi Time Code does not provide its own tempo.

5. Set the FRAMES/SEC field to the same frame rate as the Midi Time

Code which is going to be received. This will be usually be "30" for the

U.S. and Japan, and "25" for Europe and the U.K.

6. Press the <Sync Screen> soft key, and the sync screen will

appear:

1 2 ... 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 ... 227 228
