The SONG MODE Key and Song Mode Screen

To enter Song mode, press the SONG MODE key. The Song Mode

screen will appear:

=============== Song mode =============A

Song: 1-(unused) Loop:TO STEP 1

SMPTE start:00:00:00:00.00

========= Contents of Step: 1 =========

Sqnc: 1-(unused) Reps(0=end): 1

Bars: 0 Tempo:120.0 BPM

===== Now:001.01.00 (00:00:00:00) ======

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 except RECORD and OVERDUB operate on

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

plays the active song from the current location in the Now field; the

REWIND, FAST FORWARD, and LOCATE keys 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 its own list of 250 steps.

• The Song Name field (Song: 1-(unused)

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

is the 16-character name of the active song. Changing the song name is

done in the same manner 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. TO STEP 1: The song loops back to the step number shown

directly to the right of the word STEP. This step number can

be changed by moving the cursor to it and changing it.

• The SMPTE start field:

This five-part field sets the SMPTE number associated with the exact

beginning of the song. Also called SMPTE offset, this is the SMPTE

number which, when the MPC60 is syncing to SMPTE, denotes the

beginning of the song. Normally, this is set to all zeroes

1 2 ... 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 ... 240 241
