Recording the sample - detailed information
In this section, you will learn about several features regard-
ing the recording which were not described in the “Record-
ing the sample” section.
Recording the digital signal
Here, you will learn how to record a digital signal.
Note: You can record only from the devices whose sampling
rate in set to 44.1kHz (ex. CD player). The MPC2500
does not
support the other sampling rates.
Note: The format of the MPC2500’s digital input is coaxial type.
If your digital device has an optical output, you cannot connect
it to the MPC2500 directly. You will need an adapter.
Preparing the recording
01. Connect the external device to the DIGITAL IN which
is located on the MPC2500’s rear panel.
02. Press the [MODE] key and then [PAD 5] (RECORD)
to display the RECORD page.
03. Select the Input field and select DIGITAL.
When you select DIGITAL, a digital device MUST
be connected to the MPC2500.
04. Select the Mode field and select STEREO or MONO.
05. Play the source. Check the level meter on screen.
Note:
With the digital recording, you cannot adjust the recording level.
06. Select the Threshold field and set the threshold level
to trigger the recording.
07. Select the Time field and set the recording time.
For the next steps, proceed as described in the
“Starting the recording" section on page 55.
Recording the MAIN OUT
In this section, you will learn how to record the same sig-
nal found on the STEREO OUT of the MPC2500. With this
feature, you can add the effects to the recorded sample and
re-record it, or you can record the phrase that you created
with the sequence feature, as one sample.
Preparing the recording
01.
Prepare the system so that you can play the desired
sound by hitting the pads or playing back the sequence.
The sound that the MPC2500 will actually record
is exactly the same as the sound from the STEREO
OUT. Before going back to the RECORD mode, set
the program and sequence so that the desired sound
will be output from the STEREO OUT.
02. Press the [MODE] key and then [PAD 5] (RECORD)
to display the RECORD page.
03. Select the Input field and select MAIN OUT.
04. Select the Mode field and select STEREO or MONO.
05. Select the Time field and set the recording time.
Note : When the MAIN OUT is selected, you cannot adjust the
recording level When the MAIN OUT is selected, the recording
level is decided by the setting of Master level in the GLOBAL
page of the OTHER mode. The initial setting of the Master level
is –12dB as the output sound will not distort when many samples
are played back simultaneously. If you record one sample through
MAIN OUT with this setting, the recorded sample level is lower
than the original sample level. In this case, if you set the Master
level to 0dB, the recorded sample level is same as the original
sample level.
Note:
When MAIN OUT is selected, the level meter is not displayed.
For the next steps, proceed as described in the “Start-
ing the recording” section on page 55.
