This allows independent send-level mixing to the internal effects

generator, or for any one of the individual outputs to be used as a

full external echo send mixer.

• The Double Play feature has been removed. Instead, up to three

sounds can be assigned to play from an incoming MIDI note number

or pad. The sounds can either play simultaneously, switch depend-

ing on note velocity, or switch depending on envelope decay (to

simulate the MPC60’s hi-hat decay slider function).

• The Best Start feature automatically finds the point within a

sound at which the drum strike begins, bypassing any dead space at

the beginning of the sound which could cause playback delays.

• The envelope decay parameter is now switchable between two

modes: END (same as the MPC60’s Fadeout parameter) and START

(decay begins immediately following attack).

Sequencer Changes

• Sequence memory capacity is expanded by 30% to 75,000 notes.

• In Step Edit , the REWIND [<] and FAST FORWARD [>] keys

may now be used to search to the previous or next event within a

track.

• In Step Edit, events may be cut and pasted by changing the

function of soft keys 1 and 2 from <Insert> and <Delete> to <Paste>

and <Cut>.

• The number of pad banks has been increased from 2 to 4 for a

total of 64 pad/bank combinations. The active pad bank is indicated

by the LEDs above the PAD BANK key.

• In drum tracks, drum notes are now assigned to MIDI note

numbers instead of to pads. This provides easier compatibility with

external MIDI devices and allows pad assignments to be rearranged

without affecting sequence or program data. MPC60 version 2

sequences are automatically converted from pad assignment to note

number assignment when loaded.

• The MPC60’s fixed four-letter drum names are no longer used.

Instead, notes in drum tracks are visually identified in editing

screens by pad number, MIDI note number and currently assigned

sound name.

• The new Note Variation Slider replaces the MPC60’s Hi-hat Decay

Slider, expanding its capabilities to provide a unique value of either

decay, tuning, attack, or filter frequency for every note.

• The 16 Levels function can now provide 16 levels of velocity,

tuning, attack, decay or filter frequency for every note.

• The Copy/Merge a Track feature has been renamed to Copy

Events and now permits specific drum notes to be copied.

• The Change Velocity/Duration feature now allows specific drum

notes to be edited.

• The new Shift Timing feature shifts track timing independently of

timing correction.
