• The METER field:

This is a simulation of an analog record level meter. While this screen is

present, the meter is constantly displaying the level of the signal at the

input. The threshold setting is represented by a "T". If the range is

exceeded, "!!" is displayed to the right of the full scale meter to indicate

clipping.

• SOFT KEY 1 - <Playback>:

Pressing this soft key causes the sound just sampled to be played at full

volume.

• SOFT KEY 2 - <Ready ...>:

Pressing this soft key commands the MPC60 to begin recording as soon as

the threshold is exceeded. When <Ready ...> is pressed, the lower two lines

threshold has been exceeded and recording is now in progress. Once the

recording is completed, the previous two lower lines are re-displayed. If the

<Cancel> soft key is pressed during this time, the "record ready" status is

cancelled and the previous two lower lines are re-displayed.
