MMC (MIDI Machine Control)
The start of other
devices and a stop are performed by remote control.
Sync with the MPC as the master
A press on START,
PLAY, and the STOP key will transmit MMC START, MMC PLAY, and MMC
STOP, respectively.
A press on the STEP/BAR key will transmit the time information(MMC
LOCATE) on the current position from the start of a sequencer.
Example of a setting
[MODE]+PAD9 =>F2(SYNC)
Screen
Connect the MIDI OUT
of the MPC to MIDI IN of the external MIDI device using a MIDI
cable.
Sync with the MPC as the
slave
Received of MMC START, MMC PLAY, and MMC STOP will carry out the
same operation as the key of START, PLAY, and STOP having been
pressed.
Received of time information (MMC LOCATE) will locate a sequencer
in the position.
If MMC PLAY is received, regardless of the play position by the
side of a master, a play will be started from a current position.
Notes
Although it seems to synchronize since a master and a slave will
start a play almost simultaneous if a start and a play
are sent, the synchronized signal is not necessarily sent.
Example of a setting
Connect the MIDI IN
of the MPC to MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device using a MIDI
cable.

MTC (MIDI Time Code)
It uses, when synchronizing with a hard disk recorder, the
recorder of a video camera and a tape base, etc.
Sync with the MPC as the
master
The time information
(time second frame) currently played during a play is transmitted
continuously.
Example of a setting
Connect the MIDI OUT of the
MPC to MIDI IN of the external MIDI device using a MIDI cable.
Sync with the MPC as the
slave
Received of MTC will
play a sequencer synchronizing with the time.
MTC synchronizes with the time after a sequencer starts.
If a MTC signal stops, a sequencer will also stop.
Example of a setting
Connect the MIDI IN of the
MPC to MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device using a MIDI cable.
Setting of start time
When cursor
is a Time field, press the [WINDOW] key, the "Start Time"
window will open.
| Start time: |
If the time set
up here is received, a sequencer will start. |
| Frame rate: |
When you use
MPC as a master, please adjust with the frame rate by the
side of a slave.
When using MPC as a slave, it is not necessary to set up. |
Notes
By the time a slave device synchronizes with MTC, the time for
several seconds will be needed.
Therefore, in order to make it synchronize correctly using MTC,
we recommend you to make the
blank like one bar beforehand before a performance start.
MIDI CLOCK
It synchronizes with
the clock of a sequencer.
MIDI CLOCK will also change the tempo by the side of a slave, if
the tempo by the side of a master is changed.
Each other is a MIDI sequencer. It uses, when it seems that
changes the tempo by the side of a master, and also wants the
slave side to follow it.
Sync with the MPC as the
master
A press on START,
PLAY, and the STOP key will transmit each MIDI code.
Then, adjusting to tempo, the MIDI CLOCK code is transmitted.
If tempo is made quick, the interval of a clock will become short,
and a clock interval will become long if it is made late.
Example of a setting
Connect the MIDI OUT of the
MPC to MIDI IN of the external MIDI device using a MIDI cable.
Sync with the MPC as the
slave
Received of START
will wait to set the play position of a sequence to 00.01.00, and
for MIDI CLOCK to come.
Received of PLAY will wait for MIDI CLOCK to come.
Then if MIDI CLOCK is received, it will play synchronizing with
the timing of the clock.
In this case, regardless of the play position by the side of a
master, it plays from a current position.
Example
MASTER Now:000.01.00
SLAVE Now:123.02.48
When a master plays in this state.
MASTER is plays from 000.01.00.
Slave is plays from 123.02.48.
For making the slave side into the same play position as a master,
it is STEP/BAR. A key is pressed and the code SONG POSITION
POINTER
of MIDI is sent.
A master and a slave become the same play position by sending
this code.
Example of a setting
Connect the MIDI IN of the
MPC to MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device using a MIDI cable.
Tips:
The example of a setting in case MPC is in a side and there is
apparatus of a master in the distance
SYNC
OUT MMC: ON
SYNC
IN MMC: OFF
SYNC IN MODE: MIDI TIM CODE
Connect
the MIDI OUT of the MPC to MIDI IN of the device which becomes a
master using a MIDI cable.
Connect the MIDI IN of the MPC to MIDI OUT of the device which
becomes a master using a MIDI cable.
Setting
of master device
1.
It sets up receive MMC.
2. It sets up transmit MIDI TIM CODE.
If
the play key is pressed by the MPC side, the master side will
carry out a play start and will send MIDI TIM CODE.
MPC1000 is played synchronizing with it.
When
only synchronizing and making it play, it is not necessary to use
MMC.
Note
Please use MIDI CLOCK, when the master and slave side is in the
neighborhood and wants to make it only synchronize.
Please
use MTC, when the device to connect supports only MTC.
