Chapter 10: MIDI/SYNC Mode, OTHER Mode
MIDI/SYNC Mode
The MPC2000 complies to MIDI CLOCKÅAMIDI TIME CODE
ÅAMIDI MACHINE CONTROL synchronous messages. This enables
you to synchronize with other sequencers and also by using a MIDI
MACHINE CONTROL compliant MTR (Multi Track Recorder) con-
trol the MTR from the MPC2000.
If you are only using the MPC2000 or connecting it to a MIDI sound
source and using another sequencer or MTR, it is not necessary to set
the channel.
Synchronizing the MPC2000 with Other Sequencers
To set another sequencer as a master and synchronize the MPC2000
to it, connect the MIDI OUT of the sequencer and the MIDI IN of the
MPC2000.
