8.5 Syncing to 1/4 note clicks
This method of syncing uses 1/4 note metronome clicks or any
cleanly recorded percussive audio signal as a sync source. Using
this method of sync, the playing tempo is provided from the external
1/4 note clicks.
To play the ASQ10 in sync to 1/4 note clicks:
1. Connect the output of the tape track containing the 1/4 note click signal
(or other percussive audio source) into the SYNC INPUT.
2. Set the rear panel SYNC IN LEVEL control to 1/2 of its full range.
3. Press the TEMPO/SYNC key, then press the <Sync Screen> soft key
and the sync screen will appear:
4. Set the MODE field (Sync input section) to 1/4 NOTE CLICKS.
5. If you want the sequence to start at the beginning when the clicks are first
received, set the 1/4 CLICKS START AT field to BAR 1. If you set it to
CURRENT BAR, the sequence will start playing from the start of the
current bar when the clicks are first received.
6. Press the MAIN SCREEN key.
7. Record the parts to be overdubbed into the MPC60.
8. Rewind the tape to the point at which the 1/4 note clicks start.
9. Set the tempo of the MPC60 as close as possible to the tempo of the
1/4 note clicks. This setting will be used to provide the initial tempo,
after which the subsequent clicks will provide their own tempo.
10. Play the tape. Once the tape reaches the point at which the 1/4 note
clicks start, the MPC60 will instantly start playing in sync.
To play back a "Song" (Song mode) in sync to the
1/4 note click signal:
To play back a "Song" in sync to the 1/4 note click signal, follow the
above instructions, except select the SONG MODE screen before
receiving the 1/4 note click signal. This way, the active song will
play instead of the active sequence.
