Chapter 4: Editing Sequences

Page 92

• The Event to insert field:

This parameter selects which type of MIDI event will be inserted when

the <Insert> soft key from the Step Edit screen is pressed. The options

include all the available MIDI event types and 128 MIDI controllers. If one

of these controllers is selected, the name assigned to that controller

number is also displayed.

• The Auto step increment on key release field:

If set to YES, the Step Edit screen’s Now field will automatically move

forward one step (as defined by the timing value set in the Note Value

field of the Timing Correct screen) after each key from the MIDI

keyboard is released or, if a chord was played, after the last key from the

chord is released. (If the active track is a Drum track, the Now field will

increment after a pad is released.) This allows, for example, the

recording of a series of notes or chords, one on each step, without

having to advance manually to the next step after playing each key. If

this field is set to NO, this function is defeated.

• The Duration of recorded notes field:

This field is used while in Step Edit mode to determine the method by

which durations are assigned to notes recorded from a MIDI keyboard or

the MPC60 pads. This is a choice field and has two options: SAME AS

STEP and AS PLAYED:

1. If set to SAME AS STEP, durations are always four ticks less

than the current step size (the current Note Value field setting

in the Timing Correct screen).

2. If set to AS PLAYED, the actual time the note is held (relative

to the current tempo) is used for the duration value, even

though the sequence is not playing. To guide your timing, if a

key is held down longer than one 1/4-note, a metronome click

plays exactly one 1/4-note after the key is depressed, and

sounds again for each additional 1/4-note the key is held

down. For example, if you wanted to record a note with a

duration of one 1/2-note, you would play the key and release

it after two metronome clicks were heard.

• The Function of soft key 1&2 field:

This choice field is used to determine the functions of soft keys 1 and 2.

It has two options:

1. INSERT/DELETE:

The functions of soft keys 1 and 2 are <Insert> and <Delete>.

<Insert> causes an event to be inserted onto the screen. The

type of event is determined by the setting of the Event to

insert field above. <Delete> removes the active event from

the screen.

2. PASTE/CUT.

The functions of soft keys 1 and 2 are <Paste> and <Cut>.

<Cut> deletes the active event from the screen and saves a

copy of it internally. <Paste> inserts onto the screen a copy of

the event most recently cut.

• The Function of '<' And '>' keys field:

This choice field is used to determine the function of the REWIND [<]

and FAST FORWARD [>] keys. It has two options:

1 2 ... 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 ... 240 241
