The Play/Record screen is one of many display screens available on
the MPC3000. Most of the panel keys present a unique screen, and

Make sure that the Play/Record screen is showing. If not, press
MAIN SCREEN.
To change the data in a data field, move the cursor to the field and
type in the new number using the numeric keypad, followed by
ENTER. For example, to change to sequence number 2:
1. Move the cursor to the
Seq
field in the upper left corner;
2. Type 2, followed by the ENTER key.
Notice that the sequence name (located immediately to the right of
the sequence number) now changes automatically, because it must
now display the name of sequence 2.

options presented on the screen. For example, pressing the PRO-
GRAM/SOUNDS key causes the following menu to be displayed:
===== Programs ===== ===== Sounds =====
1.Sel pgm, asn snds 5.Sample new sound
2.Envel,veloc,tune.. 6.Edit sound
3.Dynamic filter 7.Renam,cpy,delete
4.Copy, initialize 8.Audio trigger

control. While the cursor is in a data field, if the data entry control
is rotated one step to the right, the on-screen number will
increment. If the data entry control is rotated one step to the left,
