Chapter 4: Editing Sequence

• The Duration of recorded notes field:

This field is used while in Step Edit mode to determine the method

by which durations are assigned to notes recorded from a MIDI

keyboard or the MPC3000 pads. This is a choice field and has two

options: SAME AS STEP and AS PLAYED:

1. If set to SAME AS STEP, durations are always four ticks

less than the current step size (the current Note

Value

field setting in the Timing Correct screen).

2. If set to AS PLAYED, the actual time the note is held

(relative to the current tempo) is used for the duration

value, even though the sequence is not playing. To guide

your timing, if a key is held down longer than one 1/4-

note, a metronome click plays exactly one 1/4-note after

the key is depressed, and sounds again for each addi-

tional 1/4-note the key is held down. For example, if you

wanted to record a note with a duration of one 1/2-note,

you would play the key and release it after two metro-

nome clicks were heard.

• The Function of soft key 1&2 field:

This choice field is used to determine the functions of soft keys 1

and 2. It has two options:

1. INSERT/DELETE:

The functions of soft keys 1 and 2 are <Insert> and

<Delete>. <Insert> causes an event to be inserted

onto the screen. The type of event is determined by the

setting of the Event to insert field above. <De-

lete>

removes the active event from the screen.

2. PASTE/CUT.

The functions of soft keys 1 and 2 are <Paste> and

<Cut>. <Cut> deletes the active event from the screen

and saves a copy of it internally. <Paste> inserts onto

the screen a copy of the event most recently cut.

• The Function of '<' And '>' keys field:

This choice field is used to determine the function of the REWIND

[<] and FAST FORWARD [>] keys. It has two options:

1. NEXT STEP:

This is the default setting. Pressing the REWIND [<] key

moves to the previous step within the sequence. Pressing

the FAST FORWARD [>] key moves to the next step

within the sequence. (The timing value of a step is set in

the Timing Correct screen’s Note Value field.)

COMMENT: If the current setting of the Swing%

field is set to a value other than 50%, pressing the

REWIND [<] and FAST FORARD [>] keys will

move forward or backward to locations that fall

on swing timing intervals. If you are editing a

sequence that contains 1/16-notes recorded at a

swing setting of 50%, the even-numbered

1 2 ... 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 ... 275 276
