The Simul Sequence Key - Akai MPC 3000 Operator's Manual

Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

The SIMUL SEQUENCE Key

This function allows the MPC3000 to play two sequences simulta-
neously. For example, you could use the active sequence to linearly
record all of your keyboard tracks while simultaneously using the
Simul Sequence to play a looped drum sequence. The Simul Se-
quence can also play simultaneously with the active song, if song
mode is active.
To use this feature, press the SIMUL SEQ key, and the following
screen will appear:
============ Simul Sequence ============
On/off:ON Sequence:23-A_funny_sequence
(This sequence will play simultaneously
with the active sequence or song.)
========================================
To turn the Simul Sequence on, first enter the number of the se-
quence that you would like to play simultaneously with the active
Sequence
sequence in the
quence is displayed to the right of the number for convenience.
Next, move the cursor to the
above the key will turn on as an indicator. Now, when you play the
active sequence or song, the sequence you selected in the Simul
Sequence screen will also play. To turn the feature off, return to the
Simul Sequence screen and select
