Does the 2500 truncate samples like the 2000xl?

The 2000xl truncates the last 30 miliseconds or so and it forces you to add silence to the end of your samples if you want to hear the entire sample. It's pretty annoying. I'm hoping the 2500 does not. Does anyone know?


I don't have one yet by the way.

you can if you want to.. the mpc2500 has options on that...you can switch it .. however you like.. and how long the millaseconds are..

I got that part.

The 2000xl AUTOMATICALLY would truncate 30ms.
No options, it just would chop off the end.

Wasn't that to prevent a popping at the end of the sample?

I heard pops on the sampling I did. I guess by default it doesn't add silence. You can zoom in to find zero so I don't think it truncates.

30 ms NEVER bothered me at all, I don't even understand how that can be an issue at all.

You don't have to add air, just let the mpc sample ans extra second longer. Now just chop until you are happy. It's not hard, it shouldn't even be an issue.

Combine imagination with MPC features if you need to.

YEah yeah, you and that dude MPC3000 couldn't understand why it was an issue for me when I was using the 2000. I'll explain why it's an issue again. I have gigs upon gigs of perfectly sliced samples. Perfectly sliced for all other samplers except the 2000(that I know of). None actually sampled on the 2000 or 2500 for that matter. Now when I take a kick that I have used in other samplers with no problem, and try to use the same sample in the 2000, it cuts off sooner than I know it should. So I know how it should sound but have to deal with, or sorry, use imagination to make it work? I'm all for using imagination but I have spent countless hours compiling samples and like them how they are. 30ms makes a big difference when you are working with a sliced up break. The 2000 closes doors on production possibilties unless you add silence or have an extra 30ms to spare in your samples. That's why it's an issue.

yea it doesnt really hurt my sampling.. at all.. idk wh y theres a prob on the sample?.. but yea you can switch it. but u dont have to .. it sounds the same.. u cant notice it..

Why don't you just make edits to accomodate your need. Run all of your samples through a batch process to add 30ms of dead air. Problem solved.

What? You can have the option to switch that on and off? What?

When I owned the 2000 I would batch process. I still don't know for sure whether or not the 2500 does.

I doubt that. He probably meant that the decay is set to 5 by default, which you can change to 0 as well. Don't know if it does anything else, but I highly doubt the MPC will cut off a sample which you load into it from a card or whatever.

If you positively need to know this, try asking Akai support.
