6.8 Triggering a sound from an external signal-the
Audio trigger
This feature of the MPC60 allows one of the internal drums to be triggered
by an external audio signal. The triggering is nondynamic. If dynamic
triggering, or triggering of more than one drum is needed, you must use a
trigger to midi converter, available from many manufacturers, and trigger
the drums over midi.
To select this feature, choose option 7, AUDIO TRIGGER, from the
SOUNDS screen, and the followin
screen will be dis
la
ed:
To use this feature, connect the triggering signal to the SYNC INPUT on
the rear panel of the MPC60. The triggering signal can be any percussive
sound, but best results will be achieved by using a signal of consistent
dynamics and no background noise. The SYNC INPUT LEVEL control on
the rear panel should be used to set the triggering threshold. The only field
on this screen is the PLAYS DRUM field. This is used to select which of
the 32 drums will play when the signal is received. Since the triggering is
non-dynamic, the drum will always play at full volume.
NOTE: Triggering can only be done while this screen is showing, and
therefore sequences can not be played while triggering is being done.
