Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

2. Record ready:

==== Play/Record (Record ready) ===

In this mode, it is possible to “punch in” to Record or

Overdub mode while playing the sequence. To punch

in: while playing a sequence, hold both PLAY and either

RECORD or OVERDUB simultaneously—the MPC3000 will

immediately enter either Record or Overdub mode. In this

mode it is impossible to change sequences while playing.

• The Sequence Number field (Seq:

1-(unused) in the example

screen):

This field displays the active sequence number, from 1 to 99. This is

the sequence that will play when either PLAY START or PLAY is

pressed. If you change the sequence number while a sequence is

playing, the new sequence will start playing when the current

sequence finishes playing.

COMMENT: If you select a new sequence number while

playing by using the data entry control, only the next higher

or next lower sequence can be selected. To select other se-

quences while playing, use the numeric keypad.

• The Sequence Name field (Seq:

1-(unused) in the example

screen):

This is the 16-character name for the active sequence. To change the

sequence name, move the cursor to this field and turn the data

entry control one step in either direction. This will cause the keys

that have alphabet letters printed above them to function as alpha-

bet entry keys. To indicate that alphabet mode is active, the cursor

changes from the normal blinking block to a blinking underline.

Now change the name by typing the letters printed above the keys.

The CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT keys do not type letters,

but allow you to move the cursor left or right within the name. For

punctuation, use the data entry control. When finished, press

ENTER and the cursor will return to a blinking block at the begin-

ning of the field, indicating that the alpha keys have returned to

their normal functions. To discard any changes and return to the old

name before ENTER is pressed, press and release HELP.

• The Tempo Display Mode field (

BPMBPM

BPM:120.0 (SEQ) in the

example screen):

This is a choice field with two options:

1. BPM: The tempo is displayed in Beats Per Minute with

one digit to the right of the decimal point.

2. FPB: The tempo is displayed in Frames Per Beat with one

digit to the right of the decimal point indicating 1/8s of a

frame. If this option is selected, the Frames field (in the

Tempo/Sync screen)

1 2 ... 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 ... 275 276
