• The LOOP field: This is a choice field and<br />
has two options:<br />
1. OFF: If this option is selected, the sequence stops playing when<br />
it reaches its end. However, if in RECORD mode, recording<br />
continues past the end, adding one measure (at the time signature<br />
of the previous bar) onto the end of the sequence as each new bar<br />
is entered, until the sequence is stopped.<br />
2. LOOP TO BAR 1:<br />
If this option is selected, when the sequence plays to the end, it<br />
immediately loops back to the bar number displayed to the right of<br />
the word BAR. To set the number of the bar which the sequence<br />
loops back to, move the cursor to the field to the right of the word<br />
BAR and enter the new number.<br />
NOTE: If the bar to loop to is 1 and the sequence is in RECORD<br />
mode, the <strong>MPC</strong><strong>60</strong> will automatically switch from RECORD to<br />
OVERDUB mode at the moment the sequence loops back- this<br />
will prevent accidental erasure of any notes just recorded. In the<br />
event that the "loop to" bar is 2 or higher and the sequence is in<br />
RECORD or OVERDUB modes, the <strong>MPC</strong><strong>60</strong> will automatically<br />
switch to PLAY mode at the moment the sequence loops back to<br />
the specified bar.<br />
The "Track data" area (lines 5 and 6):<br />
• The TRAK field This field displays the active track within the sequence.<br />
The active track is the track which, when record or overdub mode is<br />
entered, will be recorded into. Only one track may be active at a time.<br />
• The "Track name" field This field has no on-screen title, but is the 16<br />
character name of the active track, located directly to the right of the active<br />
track number. It is changed in exactly the same manner as the sequence<br />
name above. If no track data exists, the name is always "(unused)". Once<br />
any data is recorded into the track, the name defaults to "TRKXX" with<br />
"XX" being the number of the track.<br />
• The CH field (line 5) This field specifies which of the midi channels the<br />
active track will send its output through. There are 64 possible channels - 16<br />
on each of the 4 midi output jacks. To select the channel number (1 - 16),<br />
move the cursor to the numeric field directly to the right of the word "CH".<br />
To select which of the 4 output midi jacks the track will play through, move<br />
the cursor one additional position to the right of the channel number. This<br />
is a choice field with 4 options: A, B, C, and D, corresponding to midi<br />
output jacks 1, 2, 3, and 4, and can be changed by using the DATA<br />
CONTROL. For example, to assign the
