Chapter 3: Recording Sequences
Page 28
==== Play/Record (Record Ready) ==A
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 MPC60 will immediately
enter either Record or Overdub mode. In this mode it is
impossible to change sequences while playing.
COMMENT: The letter at the right end of the title line indicates
which pad bank (A–D) is active.
• 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 knob, only the next higher or next lower
sequence can be selected. To select other sequences 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
knob one step in either direction. This will cause the keys that have
alphabet letters printed above them to function as alphabet 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
knob. When finished, press ENTER and the cursor will return to a
blinking block at the beginning 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 (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) should be set to the desired frame rate.
