The MAIN SCREEN Key & Play/Record Screen

When the MPC3000 is first powered on, the LCD screen shows the

following contents:

============== Play/Record =============

Seq: 1-(unused) BPM:120.0 (SEQ)

Sig: 4/ 4 Bars: 0 Loop:TO BAR 1

============== Track Data ==============

Trk: 1-(unused) Type:DRUM On:YES

Chn:OFF-(off) & OFF Vel%:100 Pgm:OFF

===== Now:001.01.00 (00:00:00:00) ======

This is called the Play/Record screen. It is the main operating

screen of the MPC3000 and most playing and recording of sequences

is done while this screen is showing. To return to this screen at any

time, press the MAIN SCREEN key. The following is an explanation

of each of the data fields and soft keys contained in this screen:

• The title line (===== Play/Record =====) :

The title line not only displays the title of this screen but also

indicates whether Record Ready status is enabled or disabled by

appearing in one of two views:

1. Record disabled:

========== Play/Record ============

This is the normal mode for sequence playing. In this mode,

it is impossible to “punch in” to Record or Overdub mode

while playing the sequence. However, in this mode it is

possible to change sequences while playing. To do this,

simply select a new sequence while playing using the

numeric keypad. When the previously selected sequence

finishes, the newly selected one begins playing. This feature

is very useful for creating the structure of a song in real

time while the MPC3000 is playing.

COMMENT: If you use the data entry control to select

a new sequence while playing, only the next higher-

numbered or next lower-numbered sequence can be

selected. If you want to select a sequence whose

number is greater than one higher or lower, you must

use the numeric keypad (remember to press ENTER

after you have entered the new sequence number).
