3.12 The 2ND SEQUENCE key
This function allows the MPC60 to play an additional sequence while
simultaneously playing or recording the active sequence. For example, you
could use the active sequence to linearly record all of your keyboard tracks
while simultaneously using the 2ND SEQUENCE to play a looped drum
sequence. The 2ND SEQUENCE may also play simultaneously with the
active song, if SONG MODE is selected.
To use this feature, press the 2ND SEQUENCE key, and the
following screen will appear:
To turn the second sequence on, first select the sequence number which you
would like to play simultaneously with the active sequence in the
SEQUENCE field. The name of the selected sequence is displayed to the
right of the number for convenience. Next, move the cursor to the
ON/OFF field and select "ON" by turning the DATA CONTROL one
notch to the right. The light above the 2ND SEQUENCE key will turn on
as an indicator. Now, when you play the active sequence or song, the
sequence you selected in the 2ND SEQUENCE screen will also play. To
turn the feature off, return to the 2ND SEQUENCE screen and select
"OFF" in the ON/OFF field.
