Akai MPC 60, Operator'S Manual, Page: 102 / 228

This screen presents a number of options related to step editing:
• The EVENT TO INSERT field:
This parameter selects which type of midi event will be inserted
when the <Insert> soft key is pressed from the STEP EDIT
screen. The options include all the available midi event types,
including all 128 midi controllers. If one of these controllers is
selected, the name assigned to the that controller is also displayed,
as assigned in the "Midi 1.0 Detailed Specification, Document
Revision 4.0".
• The AUTO STEP INCREMENT ON KEY RELEASE field:
If set to YES, the ">" key (fast forward) will automatically be
pressed internally by the MPC60 after each key from the midi
keyboard is released, or if a chord was played, after the last key from
the chord is released. This allows, for example, the recording of a
series of notes or chords, one 1/16 note for each, without having to
manually advance to the
102
LOCATE keys. As this value changes, the event display area is constantly
updated to display the events contained at this displayed location. As in the
PLAY/RECORD screen, the distance moved by pressing the "<" or ">"
keys is set in the NOTE VALUE field in the TIMING CORRECT screen.
• SOFT KEY 1- <Insert>:
Pressing this soft key causes a new event to be inserted at the current
sequence position. The type of event inserted is determined by the EVENT
TO INSERT field in the STEP EDIT OPTIONS screen.
