Chapter 1: Introduction• The Best Start feature automatically finds the point within asound at which the drum strike begins, bypassing any dead space atthe beginning of the sound which could cause playback delays.• Up to three sounds can be assigned to a MIDI note number or pad.The sounds can either play simultaneously, switch depending onnote velocity, or switch depending on envelope decay (to simulatethe MPC60’s hi-hat decay slider function).• The stereo and individual output mixers are automated. Anychanges made while recording will be automatically repeated onplayback.Sequencer• Both linear and pattern-style (looped) recording are supported.• Both drum machine and sequencer-oriented features are integratedinto one easy-to-use operating system.• 75,000 note sequencer capacity.• 99 sequences may be held in memory at once. Each sequencecontains 99 individual tracks, each of which can be output to anyone or two MIDI channels.• 4 independent MIDI output ports permit 64 simultaneous MIDIoutput channels.• 2 mergeable MIDI inputs.• The MPC3000 may be slaved to five sync sources: MIDI Clock,MIDI Time Code, FSK24, sync to any sound playing 1/4-notes, andSMPTE (optional).• 2 sequence record modes: Record (erasing existing notes whilerecording) and Overdub (merge with existing notes). You can switchbetween modes at any time.• Step Edit feature allows fast viewing, recording, editing, ordeletion of any event within a sequence.• The Simul Sequence feature allows two sequences, or one sequenceand one song, to play simultaneously. For example, you couldplay a short, looped drum sequence while simultaneously recordingyour multitrack keyboard sequence.• Versatile editing system allows erasing, time shifting, copying,merging, inserting, and deleting of any sequence data.• Individual parameters within note events may be changed formultiple notes globally.• Each track has an adjustable output level, allowing output velocitiesto be scaled in real time while playing.• All 16 MIDI channels can be recorded simultaneously, allowingsequences to be transferred to the MPC3000 from an externalsequencer in one pass.• The Edit Loop feature allows a portion of a sequence to be loopedwhile overdubbing, and allows changes to be undone.• Sequences may be transposed, either in real time while playing orby altering note data.• The Tap Tempo feature allows the playback tempo to be set bytapping a key in the time of 1/4-notes.Page 4
