Direct Recording feature
Recording a live performance
while listing to a sequence
Preparing the recording
01. Connect the external device to the RECORD IN,
which is located on the MPC2500’s rear panel.
02. Press the [MODE] key and then [PAD 5] (RECORD).
03.
Select the Input field, and then select the recording source.
ANALOG : The MPC2500 will record the in-
coming signal from the RECORD
IN on the rear panel.
DIGITAL : The MPC2500 will record the in-
coming signal from the DIGITAL
IN on the rear panel.
In Direct Recording, the MAIN OUT/CD are not
available. For this example, please select ANALOG.
04. In the Mode field, select STEREO or MONO.
05. In the Monitor field, select “ON”.
If you set the Monitor field to “ON”, you can hear
your performance from the OUTPUT of the
MPC2500.
06. Play your instrument and check the level meter you
can adjust the recording level using the [REC GAIN]
knob.
Note : When you select DIGITAL in the input field, you cannot
adjust the recording level with the [REC GAIN] knob.
The level meter moves according to the input level. If
the meter goes too far to the right , the sound will be
distorted, but if the sound level is too low, the sample
will gain a lot of noise. Set the level as high as possible
without reaching the right edge (clip)
Note :
In Direct recording, The threshold / Time fields are not available.
Note :
In Direct recording, the MPC2500 keeps recording to the maxi-
mum time of the free memory and it stops the recording when you
press the [STOP] key. So setting the time fields will have no effect.
The Direct Recording feature will allow you to record a signal from “ROCORD IN” while the sequence is playing back. This
makes it much easier to ensure the sample you record will match the Tempo of the sequence.
Because a sample by Direct Recording is recorded to the internal RAM memory, the recording time is dependent upon the
Internal memory capacity.
