Are you saying chopshop and pathed phrase is the same thing then?
They are linked but not the same.
Chop Shop slices the samples. The chopped samples can be then assigned to a program (each slice assigned to a pad) or you can convert them to a Patched Phrase (all the chopped samples assigned to one pad).
I hate to drag this along but since I dont have the possibility to try out an mpc2500 in a store here (and doubt theyll stock em as they dont stock any mpcs or mv or anything like it around here).
So chopshop is recycle like chopping with assigning each sampel to a pad and patched phrase is simply - one pad plays all the chopped samples one after one.. Thats HARDLY realtime timestretching in my book.
So the biggest reason for me to go from 4000 to a 2500 just went *poof*
Thanks for the replies Jahrome

It`s more of beatmapping especially if you want to match different loops to the same tempo that is how alot of programs work by slicing.
If you have a long or sustained note that you want to stretch or compress say a 1/4 note (like strings, bass, vocals, horns and etc) and above then the timestretching parameter comes into play to break down the note into tiny bits and reassemble them at a different speeds with adjust to add or substract different tones. No mpc as of yet does real-time timestretching to match tempos. Anyway beyond 20 to 25 bpms the timestretch would start squelching and blurring the notes unless you want the drum and bass style old school sound. Tempo matching beatmapping is part of the key. If you want to be creative and modified notes timestretching is cool on horns, bass, with pitch-shifting too. Flip that *****.
