data entry knob is used to select from the available options. For

example, press the OTHER key and move the cursor to the Rate field,

which is a choice field. Now turn the data entry knob and notice that with

each step of the knob, a different preset option appears in the data field.

When finished, set this field back to 1/4 NOTE.

Pressing the [+] key has the same effect as turning the data entry knob

one step to the right. It either increments a number in a numeric field or

chooses the next option in a choice field.

Pressing the [-] key has the same effect as turning the data entry knob

one step to the left. It either decrements a number in a numeric field or

chooses the previous option in a choice field.

The Soft Keys

Make sure that the Play/Record screen is showing. If not, press MAIN

SCREEN.

Below the LCD screen are four keys labeled SOFT KEY 1, SOFT KEY 2,

SOFT KEY 3, and SOFT KEY 4. The functions of these keys change

from one screen to another; these functions are always displayed on the

lowest line of the screen. For example, while the Play/Record screen is

showing, the lowest line appears as:

The bottom line shows four titles enclosed in angle brackets. The titles

are <Tk On/Off >, <Solo=OFF>, <Track-> and <Track+>. These four

titles indicate the functions of the four soft keys, but only while this

screen is showing. Most of the screen displays in the MPC60 have soft

key functions, and the lowest line of each of these screens indicates the

function of the four soft keys while that screen is showing. You can see

this by pressing the ERASE key, then the TIMING CORRECT key, then

MAIN SCREEN to return to the Play/Record screen. Some screens have

fewer than four active soft keys and some have none.

The HELP key

Sorry, but in order to add all the new features contained in version 3.1,

we had to remove the HELP feature.
