This indicates that the MPC60 is NOT enabled for recording. This process
will NOT operate if the MPC60 is enabled for recording, indicated by the
followin
to
line of the PLAY/RECORD screen:
If these words are displayed, you must first disable recording by doing
the following:
1. Select a different sequence; then
2. Re-select the original sequence
This feature is very useful for creating the structure of a song in real time
while the MPC60 is playing. For example, while the sequence containing the
1st verse is playing, you could enter the sequence number contain the
chorus, which will starting playing once the verse sequence is finished.
Then, you might enter the sequence number containing the second verse,
which will start playing once the chorus sequence has finished. This process
may be continued infinitely.
NOTE: If you use the DATA CONTROL to select a new sequence while
playing, only the next higher or next lower sequence may be selected. If
you want to select a sequence which is greater than one higher or lower,
you must use the numeric keypad (remember to press ENTER after you
have entered the new sequence number).
NOTE 2: If you notice a timing irregularity at the point of transition from
one sequence into another, the problem may be due to the assignments of
the PROG field (in the PLAY/RECORD screen) for the sequence which
plays immediately after the timing irregularity. The PROG field is described
in section 3.3, "The PLAY/RECORD screen- the main operating mode of
the MPC60". If, while playing one sequence, you change to a sequence
containing these program assignments, the sequence's program assignments
are sent out at the moment that the sequence starts to play in the song. This
can present a problem because most synthesizers require a brief time delay
while changing programs, and this delay time will cause any notes existing at
the start of the new sequence to be delayed. This delay is brief in most
synthesizers, but is usually enough to cause a timing irregularity at the start
of the sequence. To avoid this problem, remove any assignments of the
PROG field for the sequence which you are changing to while playing (in the
above described manner). This problem does not apply to sequences
containing only drums tracks.
