MISC mode
76
C MIDI clock field
Selects the MIDI connector that will transmit MIDI clock. If you select OFF, MIDI clock
will not be transmitted.
D MIDI time code field
Selects the MIDI connector that will transmit MTC. If you select OFF, MTC will not be
transmitted.
E SMPTE field
Switches SMPTE output on/off.
F Frame rate field
Specifies the frame rate of the MTC/SMPTE that is transmitted.
G Send MMC (MIDI Machine Control) field
Switches MMC transmission on/off. If transmission is ON, the transport of an
MMC-compatible external device can be controlled from the MPC4000.
■ Synchronizing the MPC4000 to an external device
You can use MIDI clock, MTC, or SMPTE to synchronize the MPC4000 to an external
device.
1. Connect the MPC4000 and external device as appropriate for the
synchronization method you want to use.
To synchronize to the external device using MIDI clock or MTC
Connect the MPC4000’s [MIDI IN] connector to the external device’s MIDI OUT connector.
To synchronize to the external device using SMPTE
Connect the MPC4000’s [SMPTE IN] connector to the external device’s SMPTE OUT
connector.
2. Access the Sync page and move the cursor to the Mode field.
3. Turn the [JOG] dial to select the synchronization signal you want to receive.
• MIDI CLOCK .............Synchronize using MIDI clock.
• MIDI TIME CODE .....Synchronize using MTC (MIDI time code).
• SMPTE........................Synchronize using SMPTE signals.
4. If you selected MIDI clock or MTC in step 3, move the cursor to the Sync in
field and turn the [JOG] dial to select the MIDI connector that will receive
MIDI clock or MTC.
If you selected MIDI clock, synchronization may not occur correctly if the time signature
of the MPC4000’s sequence/song does not match that of the external device.
Also, the MPC4000’s tempo will be ignored, and the tempo data of the external device
will be used.
5. If you selected MTC/SMPTE in step 3, move the cursor to the
Frame rate field
and
use the [JOG] dial to set the value to match the frame rate of the external device.
Synchronization will not occur correctly if the frame rate does not match that of the exter-
nal device.
6. If you are synchronizing via MTC/SMPTE, move the cursor to the Sequence
start field and specify the starting location of the sequence/song as necessary.
7. When you have finished making settings, press the [MAIN] key to access the
Main page.
8. Make sure that the cursor is located at Sync, and turn the [JOG] dial to switch
the setting of the field ON.
The settings of the Sync In/Sync Out window are valid when the Sync field is turned ON.
In this state, the MPC4000 will synchronize to an external device.
Note: In order to synchronize operation with an external device, you must also make synchronization
settings on that external device.
