Bars and Beats will display the current time of the sequence by bar, beat and
tick from left to right. For example, '002.03:000' means the third beat in the
second bar. When you record/playback a sequence, the display updates
constantly to show the current position of the sequence.
A tick is a unit that divides a beat (1/4 note) into 960 parts. For example, 1
beat equals one 1/4 note (960 ticks), so one 1/8 note equals the half of 1 beat, which is 480 ticks.
Below is the relationship between note and tick:
1/4 note = 960 ticks 1/8 note = 480 ticks 1/16 note = 240 ticks
1/4 triplets = 640 ticks 1/8 triplets = 320 ticks 1/16 triplets = 160 ticks
1/32 Note = 120 ticks 1/32 triplets = 80 ticks 1/64 note = 60 ticks
1/64 triplets = 40 ticks

Another way the 'Now' field will display time is absolute time. Absolute time will show actual length of the sequence in hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames. For example, '00h03m07s03f' means three minutes, seven seconds, and three frames. Unlike when displayed
in BARS:BEATS:TICK, the 'Now' field will increase in time linearly as a sequence plays. In other words, If you have a two bar
sequence, and you let it play for 5 minutes, BARS:BEATS:TICK will show the time counting to bar two, then looping back to one, but
viewing the HOURS:MINUTES:FRAMES display will count up to '00h05m00s00f' showing the sequence played for five minutes.
Frame is a subdivision of seconds sent via MIDI in a format called MIDI TIME CODE, or MTC. MTC is a standard that has been used
as a timing standard for many years by both the Audio and the Video industry. The MPC5000 can sync to the frame rate of external
devices, or generate its own timing data to slave other devices to its internal clock. For more on MIDI TIME CODE, see page 168.
