Section 3: Recording sequences

The ">" key
This key normally causes the current position within the sequence to fast
forward to the next 1/16 note. However, the amount of movement is set
by the NOTE VALUE field in the TIMING CORRECT screen, which is
usually set to "1/16 NOTE". To change the amount of movement, simply
change the setting in this data field.
• The LOCATE key:
This key is used to instantly go to a specific position within the active
sequence. When pressed, it displays the following screen:
There are three sequence position markers, labeled A, B and C. Pressing soft
key 1, 2 or 3 causes either marker A, B or C, respectively, to be loaded into
the NOW field, having the effect of going to that location. Pressing SOFT
KEY 4, <Load'Now'>, causes the contents of the NOW field to be loaded
into the marker field currently containing the cursor. To load any of the
three markers, move the cursor to it and enter the desired bar numbers in
the format: "BAR. BEAT.CLOCK" (separated by ".", using the numeric
keypad). If you only want to enter the bar number, type it, followed by
ENTER, and the note and clock numbers will be automatically reset to
01.00.
There is a faster way to use LOCATE. If, while the LOCATE screen is
showing, you press the LOCATE key again, the MPC60 will immediately
move to the sequence location of the marker (A., B, or C) where the cursor
is currently positioned, exactly as if the soft key for that marker (soft key 1,
2, or 3) had been pressed. Therefore, from the PLAY/RECORD screen, to
immediately move to the sequence location contained in the LOCATE
marker (in the LOCATE screen) in which the cursor is currently
positioned, simply press LOCATE twice.
