Version 3, sounds in programs and drum notes in sequences are

assigned instead to one of 64 MIDI note numbers (35–98), as are each

of the 64 pad/bank combinations (A01–D16). The fixed four-character

drum names are no longer used. This new note number assignment

method provides the following advantages over the old pad-assign

method:

1. Because pads are assigned to MIDI note numbers

independently of sound assignments in programs or note

assignments in drum tracks, the pad assignments can be

freely rearranged to personal preference without affecting

sequences or sound assignments.

2. When using the MPC60 as a sound generator, it is no longer

necessary to use the old “Assign incoming notes to pads”

conversion table, which has been removed. Instead, simply

assign the received MIDI note number directly to a sound.

3. Notes can be recorded from MIDI directly into drum tracks

without the need for the old “Assign incoming notes to pads”

conversion table, which has been removed. Now, when

viewing a drum note in Step Edit, the actual MIDI note

number received is displayed, as well as the currently

assigned pad number (A01–D16) and sound name.

4. Drum notes are sent out over MIDI without the need for the

old “Assign pads to outgoing note numbers” conversions, a

function which has been removed. When viewing a drum note

in Step Edit, the actual MIDI note number displayed is sent

out.

When old SEQ or ALL files are loaded, a screen is presented explaining

that the pad assignments of drum notes will be converted to note number

assignments and offering conversion options.

For a more detailed explanation of how Version 3 uses note numbers,

please refer to the beginning of chapters 6 and 11, “Creating and Editing

Programs” and “MIDI Functions.”

Assigning tracks as either Drum or MIDI

In the old software, a track was assigned to drums by assigning its

output MIDI channel to the Drums Channel, which is the input MIDI

channel of the internal sound generator. In Version 3, assigning a track

to drums is simpler: a new data field in the Play/Record screen permits

each track to be assigned as either DRUM or MIDI. MIDI tracks contain

normal MIDI data recorded from the MIDI input and played out through

the MIDI outputs. Drum tracks are the same as MIDI tracks except for

the following:

1. The output of the track plays to the internal drum sound

generator.

2. You can record drum notes into the track using the front panel

pads.

3. In sequence editing screens, note events in Drum tracks are

visually identified and selected not by note number only as in
