to send. The range is 0 to 9999, although most samplers
contain only up to 128 samples.
• SOFT KEY 1 - <Receive> soft key:
Pressing this soft key starts the process of receiving an incoming sample
dump. At this point, the MPC60 sends out a "dump request" signal to the
external sampler to start sending the sample indicated by the setting of the
REQUEST CHAN field. If it receives a reply, it starts receiving the data,
and the 2 lower lines change to:
The transfer may take as long as a few minutes. When finished, the
previous screen status will be re-displayed. If a transmission error occurs, or
if the sample dump is cancelled by the other sampler, the dump will be
cancelled and the previous screen will be re-displayed. If you wish to cancel
the sample dump, press the <Cancel receive> soft key.
NOTE: It is not necessary to press <Receive> to initiate an incoming
sample dump. If the MPC60 receives a sample dump at any time, it will
immediately display the "Receiving midi sample dump" message and load the
incoming sample dump into the drum selected in the DRUM field. In this
case, the REQUEST CHAN and REQUEST CHAN fields have no effect.
Further, if a sample dump is received while the SEND MIDI SAMPLE
DUMP screen is showing (described in the next section), the screen will
immediately change to the RECEIVE MIDI SAMPLE DUMP screen and
begin receiving the data. Also, the MPC60 responds to incoming sample
dumps on all channels- it doesn't matter what channel the incoming data is
sent on.
• SOFT KEY 2 - <Send/recv>:
Pressing this soft key causes the SEND MIDI SAMPLE DUMP
screen to be displayed, described in the next section. Pressing it again
returns to the RECEIVE screen.
