• 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 MPC60 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:

== Insert Step === === Delete Step ==A

Ins before step: 1 Delete step: 1

(This and all higher (This step will be

steps will be moved deleted and all

up and a new step higher steps will

will be inserted.) be moved down.

=================== ===================

To insert a new step into the song, enter the step number before which

the new step will be inserted in the Ins before step field, then press

<Insert>. The Song screen will be redisplayed and a new step inserted,

with all higher-numbered steps moved up by one position.
