Recording the sample - detailed information
In this section, you will learn about several features regarding the recording which were not described in the
“Recording 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 MPC1000
does not support the other sampling rates.
Note: The format of the MPC1000’s digital input is coaxial type. If your digital device has an optical output, you
cannot connect it to the MPC1000 directly. You will need an adapter.
Preparing the recording
01. Connect the external device to the DIGITAL IN which is located on the MPC1000’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 MPC1000.
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 49.
Recording the MAIN OUT
In this section, you will learn how to record the same signal found on the STEREO OUT of the MPC1000. 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 MPC1000 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 MAIN OUT is selected, you cannot adjust the recording level.
Note: When MAIN OUT is selected, the level meter is not displayed.
For the next steps, proceed as described in the “Starting the recording” section on page 49.
