Akai MPC 60 User Manual

Section 2: The Basics

This is the PLAY/RECORD screen. It is the main operating mode of the
MPC60 and all playing and recording of sequences is done while this screen
is displayed. This screen will be discussed further in the section entitled
"Recording sequences'". If at any time while operating the MPC60 you are
confused and want to return to this mode, press the MAIN SCREEN key.
Note: There are three other disks included with the MPC60:
ROCK SET and SYSTEM ALL,
DRY SET and SYSTEM ALL, and
SYNTH SET and SYSTEM ALL.
These disks contain 3 additional sets of drum sounds, but contain the same
demonstration sequences. To hear the sounds on these disks, follow the
above instructions again, but use one of these disks instead. It is also
possible to load the files on these disks by using the DISK key, discussed
later in the section "Saving to and loading from disk".
