6.7 Transferring sounds over midi: Midi Sample
Dump
The Midi Sample Dump standard is a format which manufacturers agree
upon for transferring samples between sampling devices over midi. To use
this feature, you must first connect the MPC60 to the external sampler using
2 midi cables ("closed loop" mode)- the MPC60 will not allow midi sample
dump transfers using a single midi cable ("open loop" mode). To connect the
MPC60 to the external sampler:
1. Connect one midi cable from one of the MPC60's MIDI OUT
jacks to the external sampler's MIDI IN jack. It doesn't matter
which one - you can select any one in the MIDI OUTPUT
field described below.
2. Connect a second midi cable from the external sampler's MIDI
OUT jack to the one of the MPC60's MIDI IN jacks (it doesn't
matter which one - you can select either in one the MIDI
INPUT field, described below).
Receiving and sending Midi sample dumps are individually described
in the following two sections.
Receiving a Midi sample dump from an
external sampler

select the MIDI SAMPLE DUMP option, and the following screen will
appear:

• The MIDI INPUT field:
This is the Midi input jack number (1 or 2) through which the sound data
will be received. Set this field to the number of the midi input jack you used
to connect to the external sampler.
