Resumen del manual
Once recorded, the MIDI information stored into the MC-300 can be extensively edited. The format of the MC-300 is similar to a recording device like a tape machine. The MC-300 has tracks for storage of the performance information, and STOP, RECORD, and PAUSE buttons which function like those found on a tape machine. For example, pressing the PAUSE button will stop the performance until the PLAY button is pressed again. To record a part, you simply press the REC button. You may stop recording or playback at any time by pressing the STOP button. The RESET button returns the song to measure #1. The SKIP button locates the song to its last measure. The Alpha Dial is a master incremental controller used for entering information into the MC-300. These changes will be different depending on the mode of the MC-300. By rotating the Alpha Dial clockwise or counter-clockwise, you can scroll through events while in microscope mode, enter new values while editing, change functions, choose parameters you wish to edit and perform a variety of other functions. The Ten Key Pad is a multi-functional control which can perform different operations depending on which mode your are in. Like the Alpha Dial, the Ten Key Pad can be used for entering information. The MC-300 is provided with a 20 X 2 character back-lit display which is used to display pertinent information. The MC-300's display will assist you in performing the many functions of the MC-300 by prompting responses with the use of flashing characters and a cursor. The flashing characters 2-2 Stand By Mode T racks can be changed by rotating the Alpha Dial or by using the Ten Key Pad. All recording and playback functions are performed in this display which is called the Stand By Mode. Song Number Indicator Track Indicator SONG 1 ME AS 1 J=C?0;;REAL 1 Tempo Indicator Measure Indicator Record Mode Indicator The MC-300 is equipped with five tracks: one rhythm track and four tracks for entering MIDI performance information. Tracks 1 through 4 store the MIDI performance information which can be loaded in real or step time. Once data is entered into a track, it is independant of the other tracks and casn be edited without affecting the information on the other tracks. Information on one track may be separated and sent to another track for further manipulation or editing. The tracks can be toggle.d ,?pn" or "off” before listening to the performance in any combination simply by pressing the TRACK button. If there is data in the track, the display will light and the data will be played back. By pressing the TRACK button again, the light will disappear and that track will be silent during playback. The last track, which is not visible on the MC-300, is called the tempo track, and is used to store tempo information (such as ritards, accelerandos, and new tempos). 2-3 Memory Capacity Song Number The Rhythm Track functions like a conductor track in that it contains the meter (time signatures) and the total song length. The rhythm track is used for programming drum patterns when using a MIDI drum machine or sampler with the MC-300. The amount of available memory may be monitored at any time while in the Stand By Mode by pressing the AVAIL MEMO button. The display will indicate how much internal memory is available as well as how many songs exist in memory. At this point, pressing #'s 1-8 on the Ten Key Pad will display the percentage of memory each song has used. The Disk Memory can be checked by holding the SHIFT key and pressing AVAIL MEMO. At this point, pressing the MICROSCOPE button will display how much space each file takes up on the disk. To,view the other files on the disk, rotate the Alpha Dial. The MC-300 will store up to 25,000 notes in eight separate songs. When the maximum allotted memory is filled, the display will read "memory full." The MRC-300 disk will store approximately four times the amount of the internal memory. The MC-300's internal memory allows you to store up to 8 different songs at one time. Numbers 1 to 8 will be automatically assigned with the lowest number (1) assigned to the first song written. To move through the song numbers, press and hold the SHIFT key; to move forward, press SKIP; to move backward, press RESET. Songs in the internal memory can be saved onto floppy disk and loaded back into the MC-300 at any time (see instructions on "Saving to Disk). Songs can be independently edited. The Song Numbers can be used in "Chain Playing" to link songs together in any orde (see "Chain Play”). Remember, the capacity of the internal memory is limited. When memory reaches 5% of total memory, save your data to disk before proceeding with additional editing or recording functions (see "Saving Data"). 2-4 Section #3 DISK MANAGEMENT Disk Management Utility Mode Utility Mode #1 Initializing New Disks 1.
