Sample time

My MPC is only letting me sample a total of 10 seconds of sample time. Two five second samples is all it will hold or three three second samples and so on. I have a cf card that can save much more than that but in one sequence or song this is all i can use. Is this normal, or is there a way I can store more samples.

this is what i quickly found from doing a search for "10 + seconds"

I noticed that when I try to sample something, it only allows me to sample 10.9 s, and that seemed way too short.

Quote from the manual:

''In a non-expanded MPC2000XL, the maximum sampling time is 21.9 seconds mono
or 10.9 seconds stereo. In a fully expanded MPC2000XL (total 32 megabytes) the maximum
sampling time is 378.6 seconds mono or 189.2 seconds stereo.''

You didin't do your homework - need to read the whole manual

hes right too, the manual is always there. dont be afraid to check it out.

so my next question is how do i fully expand?

by the way thanks for answering these questions. I know they're pretty basic.

You have to buy and install the 32mb memory upgrade.

how much are they? are they easy and safe to install? where do you suggest getting them. thanks

try craigs list, or a local music store. ... easy to install urself.
