Regardless of which sync mode is selected, there is one soft key in the

Sync In section:

• The <SyncIn=ON > soft key:

Pressing this soft key turns the sync input on or off. The soft key text

shows the current state. If ON, the MPC60 always stands ready to sync

to the incoming sync signal. If OFF, incoming sync signals are ignored.

The Sync Out section

• SMPTE, output from the Sync Out jack only while no sequence or song

is playing and only while the Generate SMPTE screen is showing

OFF, OUT A, OUT B, OUT C or OUT D.

• The <GenSMPTE> soft key:

Pressing this soft key displays the screen that’s used to generate

SMPTE time code:

Start=00:00:00:00 Frames/sec:30

This screen permits SMPTE time code to be generated from the

SYNC OUT jack. It can only be generated while this screen is

showing. It is not generated while the MPC60 is playing. The

fields and soft keys are:

• The Start= field:

This is the SMPTE timecode number at which the generated

time code will start. The four parts of the field are hours, minutes,

seconds and frames. Normally, this should be set to
