Chapter 3: Recording Sequences
Bar.Beat.Tick
The sequencer of the MPC2000XL divides the quarter note into 96 parts. Each one of these
divisions is called a tick.
In many of the sequence editing screens it is necessary to enter the start and end of the region that
you want to edit. This is done using the time field, containing a bar number, beat number and tick
number.
001.01.00
Bar Beat Tick
To specify the range to be edited, select bar, beat or tick with the cursor and set the value with the
DATA wheel. The edit range set in the time field starts at the time entered on the right and
continues to one tick before the time entered on the right. Therefore, if the settings were
001.01.00 – 003.01.00 then you cannot edit an event entered at 003.01.00. Also when you are
editing each bar, the First bar: field is the first bar and the Last bar: field will be the last bar edited.
In this case, the bar set in the Last bar: field is included in the edit range. When the First bar: is set
to one and the Last bar: to two, the data of the first and second bars will be edited.
