Next, create the new sequence format of 4 bars of 4/4 time:

2. Press the EDIT key. The following screen will appear:
3. Select option 2: "Create sequence". The following screen will appear:
4. Enter the data fields as shown in the above screen.
5. Press <Execute> (SOFT KEY 1). This will erase the existing contents
of the sequence and create a new format of 4 bars of 4/4 time. Once
finished, the previous EDIT screen will be redisplayed.
6. Press MAIN SCREEN to return to the PLAY/R.ECORD screen.
Note: Whenever you start recording in an empty sequence, the settings in
this screen are used to create the default format of time signature and
number of bars for that new sequence. Now that you have changed these
settings to "4 bars of 4/4, looped", all newly recorded sequences will default
to this format, instead of the factory set default of "2 bars of 4/4, looped".
Also, these settings, as well as the contents of most other data fields in the
MPC60, are remembered with the power off, so this new default will remain
active until changed, even if you turn the power off and on again.
