Chapter 8: Creating and Editing Sounds
Sampling a New Sound
On the MPC2000, sound sampling is done in 16-bit linear format at
the full 44.1kHz sampling rate, as with compact discs.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:As with all samplers, all sounds are lost when the
power is removed. This means that you must load
in sounds from a sounds disk every time the
MPC2000 is turned on, and you must save any
edited or newly sampled sounds to disk, or the
changes will be lost!
To sample sounds, press the SAMPLE (or 4 on the numeric pad) while
holding SHIFT and display the sampling screen.
• Input:
You can choose from the following two sound sources.
ANALOG The recording source enters the rear panel ana-
log RECORD IN jacks.
DIGITAL The recording source enters DIGITAL on the
rear panel. This input can be connected to any
44.1kHz digital SP/DIF source such as a CD or
DAT tapes recorded at 44.1kHz, but 48 kHz
sources are not supported.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:You can only choose DIGITAL when the optional
IB-M208P 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 the
level meter will only show the 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 the
level meter will only show the RIGHT.
STEREO Sampling is done in stereo, using both the LEFT
and RIGHT RECORD IN (or the LEFT and
RIGHT signals of DIGITAL IN).
