5.2 The Song Mode screen

To enter song mode, press the SONG MODE key. The following

screen will appear:

While this screen is showing, the MPC60 is in SONG mode, meaning that

if play is entered, the active song will play instead of the active sequence.

All of the PLAY/RECORD keys operate on the active song: PLAY

START plays the active song from the start; PLAY plays the active song

from the current contents of the NOW field; and "<<", "<", ">", “>>",

and LOCATE change the position within the song.

A detailed description of each of the on-screen fields and soft keys is given

below:

• The SONG field:

This field selects the current song number (1 - 20). There are 20 songs,

each containing a unique list of 256 steps.

• (The song name field - untitled):

This field has no title but exists directly to the right of the song number.

It is the 16 character name for the active song. Changing the song name is

done in the same way as changing the sequence name in the Play/record

screen.

• The LOOP field:

This field indicates what will occur when the current song plays all the way

to its end. There are two options:

1. OFF : The song stops playing.

2. LOOP TO STEP 1: The song loops back to the step number

shown directly to the right of the word STEP. This step

number may be changed by moving the cursor to it and

changing it.

• The SONG STARTS AT SMPTE# field:

This 5 part field sets the SMPTE number associated with the exact

beginning of the song. Sometimes called "SMPTE offset", this is the

1 2 ... 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 ... 227 228
