Sampling a New Sound

Sampling is done in 16-bit linear format with the same 44.1kHz sampling rate as used with com-

pact discs.

CAUTION: All sounds are lost when the power is turned off. This means that you must

load in sounds from a disk every time the MPC2000XL is turned on, and you

must save any edited or newly sampled sounds to disk, or the changes will be

lost!

To sample a sound, hold down SHIFT and press SAMPLE (or 4 on the numeric pad) to display the

sampling screen.

Input:

You can choose from the following two sound sources.

ANALOG The recording source is connected to the rear panel analog RECORD IN

jacks.

DIGITAL The recording source is connected to the DIGITAL input on the rear

panel. This input can be connected to any 44.1kHz digital SP/DIF source

such as a CD or DAT tape recorded at 44.1kHz, but 48 kHz sources are

not supported.

CAUTION: You can only choose

DIGITAL

when the optional IB-M208P board is

installed.

•

Mode:

Set the mode to STEREO or MONO input.

MONO L Sampling is done in mono, using only the left RECORD IN (or the LEFT

signal of DIGITAL IN). The mono signal is monitored at both the left and

right sides of the stereo outputs, but the level meter will only show LEFT.

MONO R Sampling is done in mono, using only the right RECORD IN (or the

RIGHT signal of DIGITAL IN). The mono signal is monitored at both the

left and right sides of the stereo outputs, but the level meter will only show

RIGHT.

STEREO Sampling is done in stereo, using both the LEFT and RIGHT RECORD IN

(or the LEFT and RIGHT si1gnals of DIGITAL IN).
