Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

This sets the metronome on or off.

Select the Count: field with the CURSOR key and set the count ON
or OFF by rotating the DATA wheel.  TO finely adjust the count, press
the OPEN WINDOW key and open the Count/Metronome window.

• Count IN:

This sets the count down before the beginning of a sequence.

OFF

Will not count down.

REC+PLAY

Counts down before both recording and playing.

REC ONLY

Counts down only before recording.

• In play:

This turns the metronome click ON or OFF while you are playing a
sequence.

• In rec:

This sets the metronome to click during a recording.

• Rate:

This sets the note value of the metronome.  For example, to play at
quarter notes, set is to 1/4 and for eight notes to 1/8.

• Volume:

This sets the volume of the metronome.

• Output:

This sets the output of the metronome to either STEREO OUT or
INDIVIDUAL OUT.  INDIVIDUAL OUT is only valid when the op-
tional IB-M208P is installed.

• Wait for key:

Set this ON to start a sequence recording with MIDI signals from
external devices such as MIDI keyboards.
When the Wait for key: is on, the recording will not start when you
press the REC key and PLAY key, but will be in stand-by mode.  The
recording starts when the MPC2000 receives a MIDI signal from an
external MIDI keyboard.  In this case, the first MIDI signal received
to start recording will be ignored.
This is convenient when MPC2000 and the MIDI keyboard are lo-
cated away from each other during a recording.
