• The METER field:
This is a simulation of an analog record level meter. While this screen is
present, the meter is constantly displaying the level of the signal at the
input. The threshold setting is represented by a "T". If the range is
exceeded, "!!" is displayed to the right of the full scale meter to indicate
clipping.
• SOFT KEY 1 - <Playback>:
Pressing this soft key causes the sound just sampled to be played at full
volume.
• SOFT KEY 2 - <Ready ...>:
Pressing this soft key commands the MPC60 to begin recording as soon as
the threshold is exceeded. When <Ready ...> is pressed, the lower two lines
change to the following:
As the seventh line states, the RECORD light will come on to indicate the
threshold has been exceeded and recording is now in progress. Once the
recording is completed, the previous two lower lines are re-displayed. If the
<Cancel> soft key is pressed during this time, the "record ready" status is
cancelled and the previous two lower lines are re-displayed.
