• The LOOP field: This is a choice field and

has two options:

1. OFF: If this option is selected, the sequence stops playing when

it reaches its end. However, if in

RECORD mode, recording

continues past the end, adding one measure (at the time signature

of the previous bar) onto the end of the sequence as each new bar

is entered, until the sequence is stopped.

2. LOOP TO BAR 1:

If this option is selected, when the sequence plays to the end, it

immediately loops back to the bar number displayed to the right of

the word

BAR. To set the number of the bar which the sequence

loops back to, move the cursor to the field to the right of the word

BAR and enter the new number.

NOTE: If the bar to loop to is 1 and the sequence is in RECORD

mode, the MPC60 will automatically switch from RECORD to

OVERDUB mode at the moment the sequence loops back- this

will prevent accidental erasure of any notes just recorded. In the

event that the "loop to" bar is

2 or higher and the sequence is in

RECORD or OVERDUB modes, the MPC60 will automatically

switch to

PLAY mode at the moment the sequence loops back to

the specified bar.

The "Track data" area (lines 5 and 6):

• The

TRAK field This field displays the active track within the sequence.

The active track is the track which, when record or overdub mode is

entered, will be recorded into. Only one track may be active at a time.

• The "Track name" field This field has no on-screen title, but is the 16

character name of the active track, located directly to the right of the active

track number. It is changed in exactly the same manner as the sequence

name above. If no track data exists, the name is always "(unused)". Once

any data is recorded into the track, the name defaults to

"TRKXX" with

"XX" being the number of the track.

• The CH field (line 5) This field specifies which of the midi channels the

active track will send its output through. There are 64 possible channels - 16

on each of the 4 midi output jacks. To select the channel number (1 - 16),

move the cursor to the numeric field directly to the right of the word "CH".

To select which of the 4 output midi jacks the track will play through, move

the cursor one additional position to the right of the channel number. This

is a choice field with 4 options: A, B, C, and

D, corresponding to midi

output jacks

1, 2, 3, and 4, and can be changed by using the DATA

CONTROL. For example, to assign the

1 2 ... 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ... 227 228
