Chapter 3: Recording Sequences
Selecting a Tempo Source
This allows the performance of each sequence to a set tempo or the
master tempo set by MPC 2000.
Move the cursor to the Tempo Source Field as shown above and set
the tempo source with the DATA wheel.
• (SEQ)
Within each sequence is a unique tempo setting. When (SEQ) is
selected, the sequence’s unique tempo is displayed in the Tempo
field. It is possible to set this tempo to each sequence individually.
When playing sequences, this is useful if you want each sequence to
play at its preset tempo. The sequence’s tempo is saved to disk along
with sequence data when a sequence is saved.
• (MAS)
The master tempo is a single tempo setting that applies to all se-
quences and songs. When playing sequences this is useful if you
always want each selected sequence to play at the same tempo. This
tempo setting is not saved in the sequence file.
