• The LOCATE key:
This key is used to instantly move to a specific position within the
active sequence. When pressed, the following screen is displayed:
================ Locate ================
Hit softkeys or LOCATE to go to markers:
Marker A: 001.01.00
Marker B: 001.01.00
Marker C: 001.01.00
===== Now:001.01.00 (00:00:00:00) ======
<Goto A> <Goto B>
There are three sequence position markers, labeled A, B, and C.
Pressing SOFT KEY 1, 2 ,or 3 causes the MPC3000 to move immedi-
ately to the location shown in either marker A, B, or C, respectively,
and the Play/Record screen to be redisplayed. Pressing SOFT KEY
<Load'Now'>
4, , causes the contents of the
into the marker field that currently contains the cursor. To load any
of the three markers, move the cursor to it and enter the desired bar
numbers in the format bar.beat.tick (separated by decimal points),
using the numeric keypad. If you only want to enter the bar number,
type it, followed by ENTER, and the beat and tick numbers will be
automatically reset to 01.00.
There is a faster way to use locate. While the Locate screen is
showing, press the LOCATE key again, and the MPC3000 will
immediately move to the sequence location of the marker (A, B, or
C) where the cursor is currently positioned, exactly as if the SOFT
KEY for that marker (SOFT KEY 1, 2, or 3) had been pressed.
Therefore, from the Play/Record screen, "double-clicking" LOCATE
will instantly move to location A, B, or C, depending on where the
cursor was last positioned in the Locate screen.
