played for 10 seconds (if the SEQUENCE STARTS AT SMFTE# field has
been set to 10 seconds), the MPC60 will automatically start playing from the
beginning and will not stop until the sequence has completed. To stop it
early, press the STOP key on the MPC60. 12. Now, to overdub further parts
onto the tape in sync, just play the tape recorder at any point within the
sequence and the MPC60 will automatically start playing from the correct
location within the sequence in perfect sync. 13. To shift the playback earlier
or later by any amount, adjust the SEQUENCE STARTS AT SMPTE#
field to an earlier or later location.
NOTE 1: If the MPC60 doesn't respond to the sync signal, try adjusting the
SYNC INPUT LEVEL control on the rear panel. Find the lowest setting at
which the MPC60 responds, then increase the level by about 1/2 turn.
NOTE 2: When playing a sequence from bar 1 in response to incoming
SMPTE, the timing of the first note in bar 1 may be slightly late. To get
around this problem, insert a blank bar at the start of the sequence (or
song). This will cause the late timing to occur within the initial blank bar,
so that the timing is stable well before the notes (starting in the second
bar) start playing.
NOTE 3: The MPC60's SMPTE reader automatically corrects for minor
tape dropouts.
To play back a "Song" (Song mode) in sync to the SMPTE
time code on tape:
To play back a "Song" in sync to the SMPTE signal, follow the above
instructions, except select the SONG MODE screen before receiving the
SMPTE signal. This way, the active song will play instead of the active
sequence. To set the starting SMPTE number for the song, use the SONG
STARTS AT SMPTE# field in the Song screen.
