Chapter 5: Song Mode

Overview

There are two main ways to create music data on the MPC2000XL. One way is to create a long

sequence as a whole piece, the other way is to create short sequences and play them sequentially

as a Song.

The Song Mode sequentially plays the data of selected sequences. You can set the order or

number of times to play each sequence. This is used to play multiple pieces consecutively, or to

complete a song by arranging the sequences for each part. The advantages of using the Song

Mode are as follows:

•

The song can be created quickly.

•

The contents of each section of the song can be changed quickly.

A song can consist of up to 250 steps, each of which contains the number of the sequence that will

play at that step and the number of times the step will repeat before going on to the next step in the

song.

Up to 20 songs can be stored in memory at one time. Recording can not be carried out in Song

Mode, the individual sequences must be recorded or edited from the Main Screen.
