• The Contents of step field:
This shows the current step number (1–250) within the active song. The
data displayed below this field are the data contained within this step.
• The Sqnc field:
This field indicates the sequence number contained in the current step.
The selected sequence’s name is displayed to the right.
• The Reps(0=end) field:
This field indicates the number of repetitions that the sequence in the
current step will play before moving on to the next step. For example, if
you want the sequence to play only once in the current step, a 1 should
be entered here. If a 0 is entered here, the MPC60 will treat this step as
the end of the song, and either stop playing or loop to a previous step
number, depending on the setting of the Loop field.
• The Bars field:
This field shows the total number of bars in the selected sequence. It is
for display only and can’t be edited.
• The Tempo field:
This field shows the sequence tempo (the tempo value stored within the
sequence—not the master tempo) of the selected sequence.
• The Now field:
This has nearly the same function as in the Play/Record screen, except
that in Song mode this number refers to the current position within the
song, not within the sequence.
• The <Ins/Del> soft key:
This key is used for inserting a new step into a song, deleting a step, or
deleting an entire song. Pressing it causes the following screen to
appear:
== Insert Step === === Delete Step ==A
Ins before step: 1 Delete step: 1
(This and all higher (This step will be
steps will be moved deleted and all
up and a new step higher steps will
will be inserted.) be moved down.
=================== ===================
<Insert> <Delete><Del song!>
To insert a new step into the song, enter the step number before which
the new step will be inserted in the Ins before step field, then press
<Insert>. The Song screen will be redisplayed and a new step inserted,
with all higher-numbered steps moved up by one position.
