MPC3000 Software Update Version 3.1 Operators Manual
• The MIDI input, MIDI output, and MIDI channel fields,
and the <Send/recv> soft key:
These fields and soft key operate exactly as in the receive screen described in
the previous section.
• The Sound field:
In this choice field, select the sound to be sent from an alphabetical list of
sounds in memory. To the right of this field is the selected sound’s number
within the list of sounds.
If the selected sound is stereo, an additional field, L/R, will appear further
to the right. Because MIDI Sample Dump may only transfer mono sounds,
you must select in this field to send either the LEFT or RIGHT side of the
stereo sound.
• The <Send> soft key:
Pressing this soft key will cause the MPC3000 to start sending the sound
selected in the Sound field.
• The <Play> soft key:
Press this soft key to hear the sound selected in the Sound field.
You may start the sample dump in one of two ways:
1. Set the Sound field to the sound you want to transfer, then press
<Send>. Immediately, the MPC3000 starts sending the sample data.
2. Send a “dump request” from the external sampler.
This method is possible only if “closed loop” mode (two MIDI cables) is in
use. When the MPC3000’s send screen is showing, it stands ready to send
sample data in response to receiving a “dump request” message. Do the
required procedure in order to send the dump request message from the
external sampler.
Regarding of which of the above two methods you use to initiate the sample
dump, once the transfer begins the PLAY light will start blinking and the
bottom line of the screen will display the following message:
Sending sample dump... <Cancel>
Pressing <Cancel> at any time during the transfer will abort the transfer.
Once the transfer is complete, the bottom line of the screen will return to
normal.
