3.18 Transferring sequences to and from other
sequencers
Transferring sequences from the MPC60 to an external
sequences:
Some sequencers are able to record data from all 16 midi channels
independently and simultaneously onto one track. To transfer a sequence
from the MPC60 to a sequences of this type:
1. Set the MPC60 to generate MIDI CLOCK (explained in
section 8 of this manual),
2. Set the external sequences to receive MIDI CLOCK,
3. Set the external sequences ready to start recording as soon as a
MIDI START message is received from the MPC60,
4. Play the MPC60.
If the external sequences does not allow the recording of all 16 midi
channels simultaneously, you must transfer one track at a time.
Transferring sequences from an external sequences to the
MPC60:
Normally, the MPC60 may only record one track at a time. However, there is
a special mode of recording which allows you to record all 16 channels at
once, which is very useful when transferring sequences from other
sequencers. This feature works by recording the 16 incoming channels onto
the first 16 tracks of a newly created empty sequence, with each track is
assigned to the same numbered midi channel. For example, track 1 assigns
to channel 1, track 2 assigns to channel 2, up through track 16 which assigns
to channel 16. The track setup is done automatically for you when you select
the new sequence to be recorded into.
NOTE: It is not possible to overdub or record into an existing
sequence while using this special mode.
To record all 16 channels from an external sequences, follow these steps:
1. Connect the external sequencer's MIDI OUT to the MPC60's MIDI IN 1.
(You may alternatively use input 2 - both inputs merge together.) Also, set
the external sequences to send MIDI CLOCK signals (with or without song
position pointer).
