sequencers
Transferring sequences from the MPC60 to an external
sequences:
Some sequencers are able to record data from all
independently and simultaneously onto one track. To transfer a sequence
from the to a sequences of this type:

1. Set the

2. Set the external sequences to receive
3. Set the external sequences ready to start recording as soon as a
START message is received from the

4. Play the
MPC60.
If the external sequences does not allow the recording of all
channels simultaneously, you must transfer one track at a time.
Transferring sequences from an external sequences to the
MPC60:
Normally, the may only record one track at a time. However, there is
MPC60
a special mode of recording which allows you to record all
once, which is very useful when transferring sequences from other
sequencers. This feature works by recording the
the first tracks of a newly created empty sequence, with each track is

assigned to the same numbered midi channel. For example, track 1 assigns
to channel 1, track 2 assigns to channel 2, up through track
to channel The track setup is done automatically for you when you select

NOTE: It is not possible to overdub or record into an existing
sequence while using this special mode.
To record all channels from an external sequences, follow these steps:

the external sequences to send
