Akai mpc3000 Manuel D’Utilisation

The MPC3000 corrects timing errors made as you are recording by
moving notes to the nearest perfect timing location. For example, if
the timing correct function is set to 1/16-notes, then all notes are
moved to the nearest perfect 1/16-note. The result is that all re-
corded notes play back as perfectly even 1/16-notes. It is also pos-
sible to correct the timing of notes after they have been recorded.

To inspect or change the timing correction settings, press TIMING
CORRECT while the MPC3000 is not playing. The following screen
will appear:

====== Timing Correct / Step Size ======
Note value:1/16 NOTE     Swing%:50
Shift timing:LATER       Shift amount: 0
========= Move Existing Notes ==========
Track: 1-(unused)
Ticks:001.01.00-001.01.00
Notes:ALL                     (Hit pads)
<Move existing>

This screen presents various parameters relevant to the timing
correct function. A description of each of the fields follows:

• The 

Note value

 field:

Timing correction works by moving your recorded notes to a preset
note timing value. This field is used to select that note value. The
options are:

1.

1/8 NOTE

: All notes are moved to the nearest 1/8-note

2.

1/8 TRPLT

: All notes are moved to the nearest 1/8-note

triplet

3.

1/16 NOTE

: All notes are moved to the nearest 1/16-note

4.

1/16 TRPLT

: All notes are moved to the nearest 1/16-

note triplet

5.

1/32 NOTE

: All notes are moved to the nearest 1/32-note

6. 

1/32 TRPLT

: All notes are moved to the nearest 1/32-

note triplet

7. 

OFF(1/384)

: No timing correction—in this setting, the

highest resolution of the MPC3000 is used—96 divisions
per 1/4-note.

This value also affects two other functions in the MPC3000:

1. It sets the Note Repeat timing value, described later in

this chapter.
