soft key. It’s in the screen accessed by pressing the
MIDI key and selecting option 2.
I want to use the MPC3000’s pads to program drum parts on an
external sequencer, but I can’t get any of the MIDI outputs to send
note-on messages when I play the pads. How do I do it?
1. In the Play/Record screen, set the Type field to DRUM or select a
track that has a Type of DRUM. Then, set the track’s Chn field to
the desired output MIDI channel and port.
2. In the MIDI key, option 1 screen, you can change the note num-
bers assigned to each pad if desired.
3. If you are simultaneously using the pads to program the external
sequencer and using the MPC3000’s sound generator to receive
from the external sequencer, then set both the Soft thru and
Local mode fields to OFF. These fields are in the screen
accessed by pressing the MIDI key and selecting option 2.
When I play a key on my keyboard synthesizer while connected to
the MPC3000, two voices play in my keyboard for every one key
pressed. Why?
When you play a key on the syntheizer keyboard, it plays the note
internally and also sends a note over MIDI to the MPC3000.
Because the MPC3000’s Soft thru feature is normally set to ON,
that note is immediately sent back out to the keyboard, causing it to
play the same note again. To solve this problem, turn Soft thru
off (press the MIDI key, then select option 2) or disable Local Con-
trol on your keyboard synthesizer.
