1. Erase any unnecessary events from the sequence. For example,
erase any channel pressure, poly pressure and system exclusive
events if you are not using them. Many keyboards send out large
amounts of channel pressure messages while playing, which are
recorded into your tracks. If you are not using these messages,
removing them from the tracks will improve the playback timing.
To block these messages from being recorded into new sequences,
use the MIDI Input Filter.

2. Erase any tracks that are turned off but still exist in the se-
quence. Turning a track off (the
On
field in the Play/Record
screen) eases the processing requirement for playing the track,
but doesn’t eliminate it.

3. If you only need to improve the timing while recording your
sequence to tape and are using a sync tone, then record the
sequence to tape a few tracks at a time, and turn off or erase the
tracks you are not using on each pass. By eliminating the need
for the MPC3000 to process the tracks that aren’t being heard,
the timing of the remaining tracks will be improved.

4. In the Play/Record screen, disable Record Ready by selecting a
different sequence, then the original one. This slightly lessens
the processing requirement.

5. If the delay is due to many notes existing at one tick, then either
delete some of the notes or spread them around to neighboring
ticks.

How can I reduce the time required for the “Analyzing sequence.
Please wait...” message?
Please wait...” message?
This message is most noticeable during song mode. It appears once
after the song is edited and when the song screen is entered while a
long song is selected. The reason for this delay is that the MPC3000
must scan through the entire song to learn where the start of each
bar is. Once this is done, any rewind, fast forward or locate opera-
tion will be very fast. Also, response to incoming SMPTE will be
nearly immediate. Unfortunately, there is no way to reduce the time
required for this message other than reducing the complexity of the
song.

I want to use the MPC3000 only as a sound generator receiving
notes from another sequencer. How can I get it to play from only
one MIDI channel?
notes from another sequencer. How can I get it to play from only
one MIDI channel?
1. Press the MIDI key and select option 2. In the screen that ap-
pears, set the
Active track receive channel
field to
the channel you want the MPC3000 to receive on.
2. In the Play/Record screen, set the
Type
field to
DRUM
or select a
track that has a
Type
of
DRUM
.
3. Load in the desired program.
