Ready status is canceled and the previous screen status is re-displayed.

When the entire sample has been recorded, the screen changes to:

Sound has been recorded. To hear it,

press <Play/Stop>. If you like it, press

As the screen explains, sampling is finished. You can now hear the new

sound by pressing <Play/Stop>. If you don’t like it and want to sample

again, press <Discard>. If you want to keep it and give it a name, press

<Keep&name>, and the following screen will appear:

============ Name New Sound ===========A

Name for new sound:sound001

(Turn data knob to enter LETTER mode,

press PROGRAM/SOUNDS key, option 1.)

the Play/Record screen. When finished naming the sound, press

<Done>.

The MPC60 has only one mono sampling input. Sampling of stereo

sounds is accomplished by sampling each side of a stereo signal
