Chapter 10: MIDI/SYNC Mode, OTHER Mode
OTHER Mode
Set the tempo with the TAP TEMPO key and initialize the data.  It is
also possible to check the version of the MPC2000 operating system.
OTHERS Screen
Press the OTHER (8 on the numeric pad) while holding down the
SHIFT key to display the OTHER mode.
• Tap averaging:
Hit the TAP TEMPO to set the tempo.  The MPC2000 sets the
tempo to the average of the tempo tapped.
When you determine the tempo with the TAP TEMPO key, set the
number of taps used to calculate.
When this is set to a large value, it is possible to get an exact tempo.
However, this does not respond to rapid changes in the tempo.
When this is set to a small value, the function will be able to cope
with rapid changes in the tempo, but the unevenness of the dis-
played tempo will increase.
Rotate the DATA wheel while holding down the SHIFT key to set the
contrast of the LCD.  It is possible to change this regardless of the
displayed mode.
