®ÂØÒÅÎ Supplemental Notes External Sequencing with the MC-505

Many times you may want to copy a pattern or part of a

pattern from the MC-505 to your sequencer (or vice

versa).

Copying a Pattern from the MC-505 to a Sequencer

1) Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of the

MC-505 to the MIDI In of the sequencer.

2) Set your sequencers clock to external sync mode

(consult the Owners Manual of the sequencer for

information on this setting).

3) Set the MC-505 to Internal Clock and also to trans-

mit clock (see section I: Using the MC-505 to Control

a Sequencer).

4) While holding SHIFT, press KEY PAD 8.

5) Use the PART SELECT buttons and the VALUE dial to

set all of the parts to BOTH.

6) If possible, enable your sequencer to Multi-Record

to route the MIDI data to separate tracks. You should

also turn the auto-channelize and the MIDI thru func

tions off (if applicable).

7) Set the sequencer to record and press PLAY on the

MC-505.

8) Press STOP on the MC-505 when the pattern is finished.

You can now edit the MIDI data in your sequencer and

use it to trigger the MC-505.

Copying Data from a Sequencer to the MC-505

1) Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the

sequencer to the MIDI IN of the MC-505.

2) Set the MC-505 to slave to MIDI clock (see section I:

Using the MC-505 as a Slave to a Sequencer).

3) Select an empty User Pattern and press RECORD on

the MC-505.

4) Use the PAGE </> buttons and the VALUE dial to

set the Beat (usually 4/4), Pattern Length, Count in

(try 0), Loop Rest, and Input Quantize.

5) Start the external sequencer and the data will auto-

matically be recorded into the corresponding parts of

the MC-505 (as shown in figure 2 on page 3).

6) Stop the sequencer when the pattern is finished.

VI. Transferring Patterns

If you have data on MIDI channels other than

1-7 and 10, it will not be recorded by the

MC-505.
