Chapter 10: Syncing to Tape and Other Devices

sequence you intend to use is selected before setting this param-

eter.

7. Press the MAIN SCREEN key to return to the Play/Record

screen.

8. Play the tape from a point just before the beginning of the

SMPTE timecode. Once the code reaches the start time you have

entered into the Start field, the MPC3000 will automatically

start playing from the beginning of the sequence, and will not

stop until the sequence comes to its end (or the tape recorder is

stopped). To stop playback early, press the STOP key on the

MPC3000 or stop the tape recorder. To play in sync from a

location in the middle of your sequence, fast-forward the tape

recorder to any point within the duration of the sequence and

start playback of the tape. The MPC3000 will start playing from

the correct location within the sequence.

COMMENT: If the MPC3000 doesn’t respond properly to the

sync signal, try adjusting the SYNC IN LEVEL control on

the rear panel. Find the lowest setting to which the MPC3000

responds, then increase the level by about 1/4 turn.

COMMENT: When playing a sequence from bar 1 in response

to incoming SMPTE, the timing of the first note in bar 1 will

be slightly late. To get around this problem, insert a blank

bar at the start of the sequence (or song). This will cause the

late timing to occur within the initial blank bar, so that the

timing is stable well before the notes (starting in the second

bar) start playing.

To play back a song (in Song mode) in sync to the SMPTE time

code on tape:

1. Connect the output of the tape track that contains the SMPTE

signal to the SYNC INPUT of the MPC3000. Set the SYNC IN

LEVEL knob to about 1/2.

2. In the Tempo/Sync screen, set the Tempo source field to

SEQUENCE. This causes the MPC3000 to use the tempo setting

that’s stored within the sequence, so that it will always be

remembered. (This is true even when the sequence is saved to

disk and later recalled, as master tempo settings are only saved

in PAR files, not in ALL files.) Then, set each sequence in your

song to the desired tempo setting. It is important for the

MPC3000 to remember the tempo setting because SMPTE

timecode does not provide any tempo information.

3. In the Sync screen, set the Mode field to SMPTE. Press SOFT

KEY 1 until it shows <SyncIn=ON>, and set the Frames field

to the same SMPTE frame rate as that of the incoming SMPTE

signal. Ignore the Start field because this start time applies

only to active sequences, not to songs.

4. Press the SONG key and set up your song to play as you want it

to. In the Song screen, set the SMPTE Start field to the

1 2 ... 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 ... 275 276
