Chapter 12: Editing a sample

Setting the loop

The loop feature plays the sample repeatedly. With the loop feature, you can play the sample from the loop point to the end

point repeatedly. To activate the loop feature, turn on the loop field, which is located in the upper right corner of the LOOP

page. When the loop feature is on, the MPC2500 first plays the part from the start point set in the TRIM page to the end point,

and then plays the part from the loop point set in the LOOP page to the end point repeatedly.

Note : If you set the pad to ONE SHOT in the PROGRAM mode, the MPC2500 will play the sample assigned to that pad like when the loop

is off, even when the loop feature is on. When you use the loop feature, set the pad’s play mode to NOTE ON. For more information, see the

“Playing the sample while the pad is being hit” section in the page 59.

Adjusting the loop point

01. In the TRIM mode, press the [F2] (LOOP) key.

The LOOP page will be displayed.

02.

Select the Sample field and select a sample you wish to edit.

The Sample field is located in the upper left corner

of the screen, which displays the sample name. It

displays the waveform of the selected sample.

03. Select the Lp (loop) field and adjust the loop point.

You can change the loop point by turning the DATA

wheel.

If you press the left/right cursor key while hold-

ing the [SHIFT] key, you can select the digit with

the DATA wheel.

You can also enter the value directly using the Nu-

meric keys.

04. Hit the pad to check the loop point.

When you hit the pad, the MPC2500 plays the sample.

The playback method varies depending on the pad.

If you hit the [PAD 13] (PLAY LOOP), the MPC2500

will play the sample from the loop point to the end

point repeatedly.

If you hit the [PAD 14] (PLAY TO), the MPC2500

will play the part before the loop point.

If you hit the [PAD 15] (PLAY FROM), the MPC2500

will play the sample from the loop point.

If you hit the [PAD 16] (PLAY ALL), the MPC2500

will play the whole sample.

If you hit any pad from the [PAD 1] to [PAD 12],

the MPC2500 will first play from the start point to

the end point, and then play from the loop point to

the end point repeatedly.

Adjusting the end point

05. Select the End field and adjust the end point.

Note : The end point of the loop is the same with the end point of

the sample, which is set in the TRIM page.

If you change the end point in the LOOP page, the end

point in the TRIM page will be changed as well.

Zooming in/out of the waveform

With the Loop Fine window, you can zoom into a part

of the waveform and edit the part in details. Press the

[WINDOW] key in the LOOP page, when the cursor is

either in the Lp (loop) or End field, and the Loop Fine

window will be displayed.

The waveform of the end point is displayed in the left

of the waveform display, and the waveform of the loop

point in the right, so you can adjust the loop and end

points while checking the relationship of the waveform.

If you press the [F2] (ZOOM-) key the waveform will

be zoomed out, if you press the [F3] (ZOOM+) key, it

will be zoomed in.

LINEAR and LOGARITHMIC displays

The vertical axis indicates the waveform’s level. Nor-

mally, the waveform display is set to LINEAR, which

displays the sample level as it is. However, some parts

(fade out part etc…) may not be displayed as the wave-

form if the level is too low. In this case, you can switch

to the LOG (logarithmic) display by pressing the [F5]

(LOG) key and you can see the parts whose level is

low. When you switch to the LOG mode, the display in

the [F5] key will change to LINEAR. To switch back to

the LINEAR mode, press the [F5] key again.
