Hooking up a turntable to the mpc2500

MPC2500 is being fed signal by my turntable. I can record it and chop it, trim it etc. But I cannot figure out how to assign it to a pad or multiple pads the Manuel can get confusing at times.

thanks

1. Mode
2. Record
3. Record (in LCD display) or it will just start recording when it senses a signal
4. Stop
5. Assign to pad (just hit the pad)
6. Main (takes you to main menu and your done)
7. Tap your pad to check your sample

Cool thanks...but why can't I use the prg:1 I can use cds, strings and bass and the sample comes out fine but it will tell me that the sample is there but I can't hear anything...

make dem beats son.

You gotta set up the program you want the samples to go to and have it selected in your main screen in the current track.
Its easiest to make a new empty program on track 1 then record the sample as explained above. This will record the sample and then you select assign to pad, hit the pad and the whole sample is on the pad you hit.

But alternatively you can select KEEP after recording the sample and just go to TRIM mode the last sample you recorded is the last sample you can select. This allows you too chop the sample and then assign the chopped sample to certain pad(s) as apossed to havin one long sample on one pad.

Remember though always have the program you want to assign your samples to selected in the main screen otherwise you assign a sample to a program that doesn't exist.
