Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Hi,

I want to send midi from pads to an external Synth. But I want to do this just for few tracks. The other tracks should use the internal samples of the mpc.

When I select a midi output in the main-screen and turn "Local off", the internal samples of the mpc are not triggered.
But after recording, in playback mode, this track trigger the external synth and also the internal samples of the pads?!

What I have to do, that I can use the pads in track 1 for internal sounds and in track 2 just for the external synth?

thanx for your help

Your synth belongs on it's own MIDI TYPE track......

pdf manual, MPC3000 V3.0 Manual

ctrl + f, type LOCAL
hit F3 for the next instance of the word LOCAL.
Everytime you hit F3 read what it says for local.

If I had a 3k and I had this problem that's where I'd start though.

"When using your MPC as a MIDI controller along with your internal samples, you'll have to place your internal sounds on different pads than the MIDI notes you're using or you'll trigger both when you're recording a MIDI track."

"You can't cause you only have one program!"

Probably best to re-think your work flow.

From this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17010

With reference to your sequencer "track type".

So when the MAIN screen track selected is in DRUM mode:

1: The output of the track plays to the internal drum sound generator
2: You can record drum notes into the track using the front panel pads.
3: In the sequence editing screens, note events in drum tracks are visually identified and selected not by note number only as in MIDI tracks, but also by the pad number and sound name currently assigned to the displayed note number.
4: Drum tracks are not affected by the TRANSPOSE function.

MIDI for EXTERNAL devices.

So when the MAIN screen track selected is in MIDI mode:

Exactly as it reads...

Tracks playing external MIDI devices should be set as such.

All input will be via the MIDI keyboard. ( not the PADS )


Make sense ?
