Other useful functions

The MPC2500 has many exciting and clever functions to assist you with music production.
ChopShop function & Patched Phrase / Sliced Sample
The ChopShop function divides a phrase sample into several
regions. After dividing the phrase sample, there are two ways you
can use the sample. One is the "SLICED SAMPLES" where each
divided region is assigned to an individual sample. The other is
the "PATCHED PHRASE" which maintains the phrase as one
sample but you can change the tempo of the phrase freely later.
See "Dividing a phrase sample to several regions" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 69)
GRID EDIT mode
The MPC2500 has a Grid Edit mode where you can enter or edit
Pad events in a sequence. In the Grid Edit mode, you can enter
and edit Pad events in the graphic matrix editor.
See "Chapter 6 : GRID EDIT" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 37)
Effect & LFO with tempo synchronization
The MPC2500 has two stereo effects and one master effect. In the
Effect types, some parameter in Flying Pan / Delay can be
synchronized to the tempo of the sequence. The LFO in the
program can also be synced to the tempo of the sequence. See
"Chapter15 : Effect" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 97)
See "Setting a LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 89)
Mixer Automation function
The MPC2500 can record information such as Level and Pan,
which you can change with the Q-Link sliders and knobs during
sequence recording and reproduce them during sequence play
back.
See "Mixer Automation" section of the Operator's Manual. (page 92)
