Post your views and questions about the Akai MPC2500

i have 2 questions:

1. i've read my mpc and training step by step 2500 guide and i understand how to autochromatic my keyboard but how do you record your sample and find it on the mpc and place it in the same program your beat is on? and also, how do you turn off the autochromatic feature when you're done?


2. i'd like to use my sound modules in reasons with my mpc, i can record the sounds and play them back but no sample. when i record from the my keyboard sounds i have no problem recording direct and getting "audio" samples, but when i try to use reasons sounds there's no sample. i basically want to be able to use my reasons sounds across my keyboard so i can direct record "audio samples" along with my beats in my mpc. i've tried making my loop in reason first then exporting that sample to my mpc, i just thought there would be a faster way to do this.

i appreciate any assistance someone can give me.

MPC works with .wav format,so your reasons samples suppose to be .wav

... search the forums for "reason as a soundmodule" there is a video about it which explains it in detail.

ive seen that video and it's dealing with midi, i just wantm to record using the sound modules as i would my keyboard sound modules and having my sample in a wave format sample when i go to trim or direct it to a pad.

I've done this. It's not a problem at all. You just need to make sure that your audio output from the computer goes into the mpc's inputs. It's alot more simple if you have 4 outs on your interface though. I have and it posed no problem for me to directrecord sounds of my computer.
