Chapter 11: Recording a sample

In the Keep and Retry window in Direct Recording

mode, if you select the pad in the Assign to pad

filed, the new “Record event” field will be displayed.

If you select YES in the Record event field, the re-

cording start timing is written as track event in the

sequence. The recorded sample can be played back

with the same timing that the sequence is playing

back. For this example, please select to “YES”.

15. Press the [F5] (KEEP) key.

This closes the Keep or Retry windows and goes back

to the MAIN page with Direct Recording waiting.

After the recording, try to play the sequence. You can hear

the recorded sample is in the same timing as the sequence.

Note : The recorded sample will be removed when you switch the

unit off. To keep the sample you need to save on a memory card or

the internal Hard disk (optional) or import it to a comuputer via

USB. For more information about saving the data, see the “Save/

Load” section on page 103 or see the “Connecting the MPC2500

to your computer” section page 112.

Tips : The recorded sample will be assigned to the pad in the

Program which is currently selected in the MAIN page. It will

be useful to make an empty Program to assign the recorded sample

to before attempting a Direct Recording.

• Setting the Continuous sample track

The MPC2500 plays the sample assigned to the pad

when trigging the pad event. So that, if you have the

sequence which has a long sample and start playing

the sequence from a point which is past the actual pad

event, the sample may not be played. Because the pad

event for the sample may be earlier than the sequence

play start point.

If you use the Continuous sample track feature avail-

able in the MISC. page within the OTHER mode, the

MPC2500 will plays the sample earlier than the se-

quence play start point. This is very useful when play-

ing a long sample, like a vocal passage, which has been

recorded by using the Direct Recording. For more in-

formation about the Continuous sample track, see the

“Continuous sample track” feature in Chapter 19: Oth-

ers.
