Dividing a phrase sample to several regions
ChopShop function
The ChopShop function will allow you to divide a phrase sample
into several regions. The MPC2500 has two different ways to use
the ChopShop function. “Auto” which divides a sample into sev-
eral regions, automatically detecting the attack part of the phrase
in the sample. And, “EQUALLY” which divides a sample to sev-
eral regions of equal length.
SLICED SAMPLE and PATCHED PHRASE
The divided sample, whether “AUTO” or “EQUALLY”, can be
used the following two ways. “SLICED SAMPLES” will assign each divided region to a pad. “PATCHED PHRASE” is
one sample which has the divided regions and the sequence data for playing the divided regions. You can change the
tempo freely when playing the sequence.
Note : You cannot use the ChopShop function on a stereo sample. If you use a stereo sample, only the left channel is used.
