RECORD INFORMATION Window
Important information on your recording can be accessed while in REC
SAMPLE Mode via the RECORD INFORMATION Window. To access the
RECORD INFORMATION Window, press the [WINDOW] button while in
REC SAMPLE Mode.
The following information and parameters can be accessed here.
Pre Record Time
To avoid clicks / pops or errors when recording, the MPC5000 can
cache the beginning of the recording. When the recording starts, the
cache is added to the beginning of the sample.
For example, if you are recording from CD, and you press the (F6) [RECORD] button to start recording at 3 minutes, sample will
contain data starting from 2:59. This parameter will allow for up to one second of recording time to be cached. This is great for
sampling "on the fly" to make sure the beginning of, for example, a bass hit isn’t cut off when recording live.
Largest recording (time)
This shows the largest amount of time a single recording can be. This is especially useful when the 192MB expansion is installed. The
EXM-E3 adds a second chunk of 128MB of sample recording time, which totals 192 when combined with the built in RAM. This allows
a sample totaling 128MB in size, or over 24 minutes of mono sampling time for a single sample.
Total free memory (time)
This field displays how much recording time is left in RAM. This will also tell you how much RAM is installed in your unit.
Direct Recording feature
Recording a live performance while listening to a sequence
Preparing the recording
01. Connect the external device to the RECORD IN, which is located on the MPC5000’s rear panel.
02. Press the [MODE] button and then [PAD 4] (REC SAMPLE).
03. Select the 'Input' field, and then select the recording source.
ANALOG
The MPC5000 will record the incoming signal from the RECORD IN on the rear panel.
DIGITAL
The MPC5000 will record the incoming 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 MPC5000.
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 MPC5000 keeps recording to the maximum time of the free memory and stops the
recording when you press the [STOP] button. Setting the 'Time' fields will have no effect.
The Direct Recording feature will allow you to record a signal from 'RECORD 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.
