Detailed Information on the Sequence Feature

 Setting the Length of a Sequence

By default, a sequence is set to a 2-bar length, but you can set this length between 1 to 999 bars.

The 'Bar' field displays the current sequence length.

02. Turn the [DATA] wheel, or press [WINDOW] button.

03. In the 'New Length' field, select the new number of bars.

If you set a larger number than the current value, empty bars will be added at the

end of the sequence. If you set a smaller number, the bars in the end of the

sequence will not be played.

04. Press [F5] (DO IT) button

That applies the new setting and closes the window.

Tip: when you increase the length of the sequence, blank bars are added at the end of your sequence. If you decrease

the length of a sequence, the last bars of the existing sequence are not played, but unlike previous MPC's, these bars

are NOT truncated. This means that the length can be adjusted without losing the end bars of your sequence!

Tip: In SONG mode, you can also set a specific order for sequences playback. For more information, see 'SONG Mode'

with [DATA] wheel.

04. Press [F5] (DO IT)

Note: if a bar becomes lengthened due to a time signature change, blank space is added to the end of the bar. If you

decrease the length of a sequence, the last bars of the existing sequence are not played, but unlike previous MPC's,

these bars are NOT truncated. This means that the length of a sequence can be adjusted without losing the end bars of

your sequence!
