Here's some specs for you guys who care.
It's got a 64-Track MIDI Sequencer and a 32-voice 16bit Stereo Digital Sampler. They moved the pads in the center and there rock solid with velocity and pressure sensitive.
This MPC lets you sample more efficiently. There are 2 internal effects processors and they can be used simultaneously. They have a wide range of effects, such as reverb, bit grunger, chorus, phasers, flying pan, 4-band EQ, compressor, delay and a phase shifter. Real-time control is provided by two note variation sliders and two Q-Link knobs. Q-link knobs can be separately assigned to allow flexible to any sample or midi parameter , with real-time performance control of a wide variety of selectable parameters. These parameters include level, pan, filter cut-off and
resonance, tuning, LFO(low frequency oscillator) speed depth, all effect parameters and more. Each assignable Q-Link knob can generate
MIDI controller data so that all performance information can be recorded and played back from within a sequence.
The Q-Link sequencer allows cyclic modulation programming. 2 MIDI inputs and 4 MIDI outputs come standard enabling 64 external MIDI channel operation. In addition, the MPC2500 can individually control its onboard sampler up to 64 Parts, allowing users to assign a different program on each track. A large moveable LCD screen allows a clear view of sequence data displaying features like a piano roll, or a drum machine 'grid'. Continuous MIDI data can be shown as well as edited graphically.
The MPC2500 comes with 16MB of onboard memory which can be expanded up to 128 MB of RAM via the optional EXM128 memory card, same as the mpc1000.
The MPC2500 has the capability of an optional internal 80GB Hard Disk and CD-RW drives.

U didnt get te memo?
