Akai mpc3000 Manuel D’Utilisation

• The 

Start=

 field:

This is the SMPTE timecode number at which the generated
time code will start. The four parts of the field are hours,
minutes, seconds and frames. Normally, this should be set to
00:00:00:00. While the SMPTE code is being generated
(when 

<Start>

 is pressed), this field will continuously

update to show the current timecode number being output.
When 

<Stop>

 is pressed, the starting value will be

redisplayed.

• The 

Frames/sec

 field:

This field has the same function as the similarly-labeled
fields in the Tempo screen and the Sync Input section of the
Sync screen. Use it to select which of the four SMPTE modes
(30, 29.97 drop, 24 or 25) you wish to generate. Be sure to
set the proper SMPTE mode in this field before recording
the SMPTE signal to tape.

• The 

<Start>

 soft key:

Pressing this soft key starts SMPTE generation.

• The 

<Stop>

 soft key:

Pressing this soft key stops SMPTE generation.
