Sampling - detailed information

In this section, you will learn about several features regarding the recording which were not described in the previous

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 rates are set to either 44.1 kHz (ex. CD player) or 48 kHz

(ex. DAT). The MPC5000 does not support the other sampling rates.

 Preparing the recording

01. Connect the external device to the DIGITAL IN which is located on the MPC5000’s rear panel.

02. Press the [MODE] button and then [PAD 4] (REC SAMPLE) to display the SAMPLE page.

03. Select the 'Input' field and select DIGITAL.

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 96.

Recording the MAIN OUT

In this section, you will learn how to record the same signal from the STEREO OUT of the MPC5000. With this feature,

you can add the effects to the recorded sample and resample it, or you can record the phrase that you created with the

sequence feature, as one sample.

 Preparation For 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 MPC5000 will actually record is exactly the same as the sound from the [STEREO OUT]. Before going back to SAMPLE

mode, set the program and sequence so that the desired sound will be output from the [STEREO OUT].

02. Press the [MODE] button and then [PAD 4] (REC SAMPLE) to display the SAMPLE 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, the recording level is decided by the setting of Master level in 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.

For the next steps, proceed as described in the 'Starting the recording' section on page 96.

Recording the internal CD’s sound

In this section, you will learn how to record the CD’s sound from the internal CD drive directly to the MPC5000. (When

the optional internal CD drive is installed.)

 Preparation For Recording

01. Set the audio CD you wish to record on the tray of the internal

CD drive.

02. Press the [MODE] button and then [PAD 4] (REC SAMPLE) to

display the SAMPLE page
