Sending The Settings Via Midi - Akai MFC42 Operator's Manual

Sending the settings via MIDI

The settings (of all keys and knobs) of the MFC42 can be sent out in one go via MIDI. This is called the
Send Scene function.
By connecting the MIDI sequencer, the settings can be recorded and recalled.
Recording
Set the MIDI channel of the recording track on the external sequencer and that of the MFC42 to the same
channel. Next, start recording the sequencer. Then, press the + and - keys at the same time. The settings
of MFC42 will be sent out via MIDI and recorded by the sequencer (approximately 2 seconds). The LED
displays "Sen" while the data is being sent.
Playback the recorded sequence. The settings of MFC42 will be recalled as it receives the MIDI Control
Change messages.
Using these MIDI functions above, replay of the song can be made by recording the MFC42 settings to the
beginning of the sequence and further recording the operation of keys and knobs on to the sequence track.
Also refer to Connection of MPC2000/MPC2000XL in Chapter 5.
Note: It is recommended to use the auto-tuning function, before each recording and playback, for more
accurate reproducibility (see Chapter 2 Auto-tuning).
