ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) on MPC1000

Is there anyone aware of the ADC used in the mpc1000 design ? I remember the ADC chip coming from a Japanese company but I cannot recall the name.

Thanks for the information

Analog Devices AD1839.

according to this data sheet it is capable of 96 kHz, 24-Bit

why would AKAI limit the MPC1000 to 16bit....

Cause they're a bunch of tards.

This is probably due to memory capacity issue, there is a limitation somewhere.

I wonder why they would limit the MPC to 128MB of RAM.

I don't think it's just RAM that is the issue. The rather weak processor would start to cough on a rather low voice count if it were to pitch shift, filter and amplitude manipulate 24 bit / whatever sample rate audio in real time.

@ryssen

Do you know what kind of processor the MPC has?

don't be afraid of pitching things hard in a synth-esque context on the mpc1000/2500.



LOADS of realtime detuning on the instrumentation on this song. it sounds fine in context. it also uses a technique i want to do more, which is looping + detuning....i love the sound of a loop repeating fast when pitched up, and slow when pitched down...
pitching an actual sample down doesn't sound as good. a little murky. i would pitch first in Reaper, which uses the world's best algorithms to pitch, stretch and detune (elastique)

+1
BTW dope beat.

peace

Wow.
