related to the software's synchronization:
Receive: Click
o
menu to select whether or not the
software receives MIDI Clock or
MIDI Time Code (MTC) from the
host software (when MPC is used as
a plugin) or from an external device
(connected to the MIDI In port of
the MPC hardware).
Send: Click this drop-down menu to
o
select whether or not the software
sends MIDI Clock or MIDI Time Code (MTC) to the individual ports of the MPC hardware or
any connected MIDI interface. Make sure to check the port(s) over which you want to send this
information. You can select two MIDI devices connected to your computer to send MIDI Clock
or MTC data to. Select your device in each To drop-down menu below it.
MTC Frame Rate: Check one of these boxes to set the frame rate for MIDI Time Code (MTC)
o
synchronization in FPS (frames per second). In most cases, you should select 25. The correct
frame rate is important, especially when working on film scoring projects.
Device Control: Check either or both of these boxes to send or receive MIDI Machine Control
o
(MMC) to or from your MPC hardware's transport buttons. MMC sends only transport
commands; it does not include track-arming or more advanced features.
