Duration of recorded notes
• The
This field is used while in Step Edit mode to determine the method
by which durations are assigned to notes recorded from a MIDI
keyboard or the MPC3000 pads. This is a choice field and has two
options: SAME AS STEP
1. If set to SAME AS STEP
less than the current step size (the current
Value
field setting in the Timing Correct screen).
2. If set to AS PLAYED
(relative to the current tempo) is used for the duration
value, even though the sequence is not playing. To guide
your timing, if a key is held down longer than one 1/4-
note, a metronome click plays exactly one 1/4-note after
the key is depressed, and sounds again for each addi-
tional 1/4-note the key is held down. For example, if you
wanted to record a note with a duration of one 1/2-note,
you would play the key and release it after two metro-
nome clicks were heard.
