Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

Page 32

a 0 in this field and OFF will be displayed. Whenever a new sequence is

selected, if any of the sequence’s tracks contain program number

assignments, those program numbers will be immediately sent out over

the track’s assigned MIDI channel/port (not the auxiliary MIDI

channel/port) to the external synthesizer, causing it to change to the

assigned program number. This way, all external synthesizers are

immediately changed to the correct program numbers merely by

selecting the sequence. If a track’s Type field is set to DRUM, the

assigned program number will change the internal sound generator’s

active program number.

COMMENT: It is also possible to record MIDI program change

events at any location within a track, either in real time or in Step

Edit mode. (See the “Step Edit” section in the “Editing

Sequences” chapter of this manual for more details about this.) It

is important to note that if one of these program change events

is inserted mid-sequence and the portion of the sequence

containing the change is played (causing the external

synthesizer to change to the new program), the original program

number (as set up in the Program Number field) will not be re-

sent over MIDI until the sequence is reselected in the Sequence

Number field. Simply restarting the sequence will not

implement

the program change. If the MPC60 did send out all assigned

program numbers whenever PLAY START were pressed, this

problem would be corrected, but there would also be a brief

delay at the start of the sequence because the external

synthesizers must take time to change their program data. If you

do want a program change to be sent out whenever PLAY

START is pressed, it is better to insert a MIDI Program Change

event at the start of the track, using Step Edit.

• The Now field (Now:001.01.00

(00:00:00:00) in the example screen):

This field displays the current position within the sequence. The left side

of this field shows the current position in musical terms—as a three-part

number separated by decimal points. The first part is the bar number;

the second is the beat number within the bar (the beat is equal to the

denominator of the time signature); and the third is the tick number

within the beat (there are 96 ticks to a quarter note). Bars and beats start

at 1; ticks start at 0.

To the right of the above-described bar.beat.tick number is another four-

part number, displayed in parentheses. This field shows the current

position of the sequence as a function of elapsed time from the

beginning of the sequence, in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.

However, the number displayed when the sequence is set to the start is

not necessarily 00:00:00:00, but rather is equal to the SMPTE start time.

SMPTE operation is described in chapter 10, “Syncing to Tape and

Other Devices”.

This field is for display only and cannot be edited directly with the cursor.

It is normally changed by using the REWIND, FAST FORWARD and

LOCATE keys, described in the “Play/Record Keys” section of this

chapter.

The four soft keys are:

1 2 ... 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ... 240 241
