6 Chapter 1: Introduction Connecting MPC2500 to External Audio/MIDI device The diagram below demonstrates how you can connect the MPC2500 to an external Audio/MIDI device. Please note that this is one example, so, when you actually connect your devices, refer to the device’s operator's manual. Note: When you connect devices, make sure the power is turned off.
7 Terminologies in MPC2500 These are the basic terminologies you need to know to operate the MPC2500: Sequence Sequence is the most basic unit that you use when you create data with the MPC2500. The data from the MIDI keyboard or pads will be recorded to each track in a sequence. A sequence has 64 tracks, each of which can hold performance data. You can create up to 99 sequences. The length of a sequence can be set from 1 bar to 999 bars.
8 Chapter 1: Introduction Sample With the MPC2500, sound data that is loaded into the unit is called a sample. A sample is loaded to the MPC2500 when you record in RECORD mode, load from a memory card, or transfer from PC through USB. You can change the start/end point of a sample or set loop in TRIM mode. To play back sounds, you need to assign samples to pads in PROGRAM mode. There are 2 kinds of samples: Stereo sample (2-channel sample with left and right channels), and Mono sample (1channel sample).
9 Chapter 2 : Basic Operation In this chapter, we will describe the basic operation of the MPC2500. MAIN Page This is the main screen of the MPC2500, where you record and play back sequences. You can go back to this page at any time by pressing the [MAIN] key; for example, when you get lost while operating MPC2500 and want to go back to this page. You cannot go back to MAIN page by pressing [MAIN] key while processing (e.g. recording, loading/saving etc..).
10 Chapter 2: Basic Operation Setting names The MPC2500 handles various types of data, from sound related data (such as samples and programs) to performance related data (such as sequences and tracks). These data are managed by names. In this section, you will learn how to name different data. Select a field which you wish to name with the cursor and turn the DATA wheel. The Name windows will show up. In the Name windows, you can name the data. 04.
11 Other useful functions in the Name window (Copy and Paste function) With the copy and paste function, you can copy the letters in the “New name” field and paste to set a name to another data. This is useful when you wish to create similar names for different data. If you press [F2] (COPY ) key when Name window is open, the letters in the “New name” field will be copied (temporarily saved). When you press [F3] (PASTE) in the Name window , those copied letters can be pasted to the “New name" field.
12 Chapter 3: Sequence feature Chapter 3 : Sequencer feature The MPC2500 has a sequencer feature that allows you to record/playback your performance. With the sequencer feature, you can record the performance you created with the pads. And by playing back the recorded data, you can reproduce your performance. The actual performance will be recorded on a track within a sequence. For more information on sequences and tracks, see the “Terminologies in MPC2500” section on page 7.
13 Recording the performance In this section, you will learn how to record the performance you made with pads to tracks in a sequence. 10. If you do not like the performance, you can start a new recording by pressing the [REC] [PLAY START] keys. This cancels the currently recorded performance data and starts a new recording. Note: To record your performance data to a sequence, you need to load a program to the MPC2500 that you play using the pads.
14 Chapter 3: Sequence feature Playing back a sequence You can play back a recorded sequence by pressing the [PLAY START] key. The sequence will be played repeatedly until you press the [STOP] key. If you press the [PLAY] key again, the MPC2500 will resume the playback from where the previous play back was stopped. Erase feature You can delete a certain pad performance by using the [ERASE] key.
