Section 5: Song mode 121

Converting a song into a long sequence:

While song mode is very useful for quickly creating a song format, it can be

very cumbersome for detailed editing, because of the constant switching

back to sequence mode, the necessity of copying sequences, and the

necessity of remembering which sequence plays at which step. For detailed

editing, it is much easier to record your song into one long sequence instead

of using song mode, but song mode is very useful for quickly assembling

the basic arrangement of a song.

The MPC60 has a feature which allows a song to be automatically converted

into one long sequence. This feature actually copies all sequences in each

step end-onto-end into one long sequence. This allows you to quickly

construct a song using song mode, then convert it to a sequence for detailed

editing using the much more versatile sequence editing features. This feature

is accessed by pressing the EDIT key and selecting option 8: CONVERT

SONG. This is described in detail within the "Editing sequences" section of

this manual.
