Chapter 5: Song Mode
• The SMPTE start field:
This five-part field sets the SMPTE number associated with the
exact beginning of the song. Also called SMPTE offset, this is the
SMPTE number which, when the MPC3000 is syncing to SMPTE,
denotes the beginning of the song. Normally, this is set to all zeroes
(00:00:00:00.00). The five parts are Hours:Minutes:Seconds:
Frames.HundrethFrames.
• The Contents of step field:
This shows the current step number (1-250) within the active song.
The data displayed below this field are the data contained within
this step.
• The Sqnc field:
This field indicates the sequence number contained in the current
step. The selected sequence’s name is displayed to the right.
• The Reps(0=end) field:
This field indicates the number of repetitions that the sequence in
the current step will play before moving on to the next step. For
example, if you want the sequence to play only once in the current
step, a 1 should be entered here. If a 0 is entered here, the MPC3000
will treat this step as the end of the song, and either stop playing or
loop to a previous step number, depending on the setting of the
Loop field.
• The Bars field:
This field shows the total number of bars in the selected sequence. It
is for display only and can’t be edited.
• The Tempo field:
This field shows the sequence tempo (the tempo value stored within
the sequence—not the master tempo) of the selected sequence.
• The Now field:
This has nearly the same function as in the Play/Record screen,
except that in Song mode this number refers to the current position
within the song, not within the sequence.
• The <Ins/Del> soft key:
This key is used for inserting a new step into a song, deleting a step,
or deleting an entire song. Pressing it causes the following screen to
appear:
