always one higher than the last sample taken, even if the last sample was

taken before the power was last turned off. This is done so that if you don't

name your samples before saving them to disk, they will still always have

unique names. To name the new sound:

A) Move the DATA CONTROL either one step to the left or

right. This will change the COMMAND keys to their

LETTER functions.

B) Type in the new name, followed by ENTER. The

COMMAND keys will return to their normal functions.

15. Test how it sounds when tuned. Tuning in the MPC60 is performed

mathematically, without distortion

, by the custom LSI sound chip. Although

this method provides a substantial increase in functionality and sound

quality, it also can cause greater distortion only if a sound which was

over-recorded

is tuned. Further, this distortion will only occur at certain

tuning settings. To test for this, select the tuning screen (SOUNDS key,

option 4), and play the sound you have just sampled at various tunings. If

you hear distortion, you must re-sample it at a lower level, following the

above steps. If no distortion is heard, skip down to the next step.

16. It is a good idea to save your sound to disk now. IF YOU DON'T,

THE SOUND WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER

OFF! To save your sample to disk, first insert a formatted disk in the disk

drive with enough space on it to hold your new sound, then press the

DISK key, and the following screen will appear:

Select 3: SAVE A SOUND and the followin

screen will a

ear:

The DRUM field will display the drum you have just sampled into, and the

NAME field will display the full 16 character name you have just given to

your sound. Press <Save it to disk> to save the sound to disk. For more

information on saving sounds to disk, read the DISK section of this manual.
