Chapter 5: Song Mode
Song Mode
To display the Song mode screen, press the SONG key (or 1 on the
numeric pad) while holding the SHIFT key. The Song Mode screen
will appear:
While this screen is showing, the MPC2000 is in Song mode, meaning
that if play is entered, the active song will play instead of the active
sequence.
All of the Play/Record keys except RECORD and OVERDUB keys op-
erate on the active song. PLAY START plays the active song from the
start; PLAY plays the active song from the current location in the
Now: field; the REWIND, FAST FORWARD, and LOCATE keys
change the position within the song.
Selecting a Song
Move the cursor to the Song: field and select a song by rotating the
DATA wheel.  The song number and song name will appear.  If you
have not created any data for the song, (Unused) will appear.
Renaming a Song
To open the Song window, select the Song: field and press the
OPEN WINDOW key.
