Chapter 3: Recording Sequences
Multiple Track Real-time Recording
MPC2000 receives data from devices such as an external MIDI se-
quencer making it possible to record real-time on the 16 tracks of each
MIDI channel.  In this case, tracks 1 to 16 will be automatically as-
signed to MIDI channels 1 to 16 respectively.
To display the MIDI Input window, select the MIDI channel field and
press the OPEN WINDOW key.
To display the Record All 16 Channels window, press REC 16[F2].
• Sq:
Selects the sequence to record the data.
:
Sets the tempo of the sequence.
• Tsig:
Sets the beat of the sequence.
In order to record at a more precise timing when you are receiving and
using data from another sequencer, it is necessary to synchronize the
MIDI signals.  For details, refer to the chapter “MIDI/SYNC Mode”.
After each setting, press PROCED[F5].  The data of the selected se-
quence will be erased and the 16 channel real-time recording window
will appear.
Each parameter cannot be set in this window.
To start recording, press the PLAY key while holding the REC key. If
you are recording in sync to the MIDI clock of an external sequencer,
start it while holding the REC key on the MPC2000.
