Listen fellas,

I'm a dinosuar in the game that just converted over from the asr-10 and I'm catching hell trying to sync my sampletank as a standalone to my mpc 2500 so it can be ran like a sound module. I'm feeling like a fish out a water right now cause I used the asr since "94" Can someone help a brother please!!!!!!!!

This question is not specific to only the 2500, it would apply equally to other MPC's. I've moved this to the appropriate forum.

BTW, are you trying to sync Sampletank itself or Sampletank hosted within a DAW?

It simple, but I don't know what you are specifically having problems with. To start, you wanna import your samples into SampleTank. So on the right side, just click import, click effects/samples, and direct it to where the effects folder is on your hard drive.

From there, just make sure your interface is selected in the Preferences. Put the sample buffer as low as it will go. For example, mine goes as low as 128, but some better soundcards/interfaces go lower.

Then when you have everything ready to go, go to track one on the MPC, turn the program off, turn midi on and select midi channel 1A (or B or C or D depending on the midi out to your interface). Double click channel 1 in SampleTank and then double click the effects folder to the right, then double click the sound you wanna use. Repeat for then next 15 channels if you choose.

Check out these vids too. Some may come in handy even though not related to the MPC.
