Section 10: Appendex 215
• Sequences may be looped, and recording is possible with real-time timing
correction while loop is on. Also, a sequence may be set to loop back to any
bar once the end is reached, not just the beginning of the sequence.
• "Step edit" feature allows very fast viewing, recording, editing or deletion
of any event within a sequence.
• Versatile editing system allows copying, merging, inserting, deleting of
any sequence data.
• Each track has an output level adjustment, allowing the output
velocities to be scaled in real time while playing.
• The velocity or duration values of a group of notes within a track may
now be changed globally.
• All 16 midi channels may be recorded simultaneously, allowing sequences
to be transferred into the MPC60 in one pass.
• Sequence data may be shifted forward or backward in time.
• "Edit loop" feature allows a portion of a sequence to be looped while
overdubbing for fast editing, and allows changes to be "undone".
• Sequences may be transposed, either in real time while playing or by
altering note data.
• "Tap tempo" key allows playing tempo to be set by tapping a key in the
time of 2 1/4 notes.
• Programmable tempo changes, in mid-sequence or mid-song, are
supported.
• Time signature changes, in mid-sequence or mid-song, are
supported.
• "Auto punch" feature allows automatic punch-in and punch-out at preset
times within the sequence.
• 2 foot switch inputs allow functions such as PLAY/STOP and
PUNCH IN/OUT to be remotely controlled.
• Current position within sequence is always displayed in both
bar.beat.clock and SMPTE position.
• 2 mergeable midi inputs.
• Timing correction feature maintains original note duration, providing
faithful reproduction of original performance, but without timing errors.
• "Shuffle" feature provides a useful method of adjusting the "feel" of the
timing of your tracks.
• Timing correction only affects notes- pitch bend and other
controllers are recorded as played.
• "Note repeat" feature allows for easy programming of rolls and
repeated notes.
• Midi "sustain pedal" messages are specially processed so that multiple
overdubs on the same track of a sequence may have independent uses
of the sustain pedal without interaction.
• A specific Midi PROGRAM CHANGE event may be assigned to any
track, and is automatically sent out when the sequence is selected.
• System exclusive messages, including patch data dumps, may be recorded
into sequences.
