By the way, I have read as much lit on the 2500 so I'm not just blindly asking. Simply could not find much on this feature.

Thanks.

the following is from page 57 of the manual.

Recording the MAIN OUT
In this section, you will learn how to record the same signal
found on the STEREO OUT of the MPC2500. With this
feature, you can add the effects to the recorded sample and
re-record it, or you can record the phrase that you created
with the sequence feature, as one sample.
Preparing the recording
01. Prepare the system so that you can play the desired
sound by hitting the pads or playing back the sequence.
The sound that the MPC2500 will actually record
is exactly the same as the sound from the STEREO
OUT. Before going back to the RECORD mode, set
the program and sequence so that the desired sound
will be output from the STEREO OUT.
02. Press the [MODE] key and then [PAD 5] (RECORD)
to display the RECORD page.
03. Select the Input field and select MAIN OUT.
04. Select the Mode field and select STEREO or MONO.
05. Select the Time field and set the recording time.
Note : When the MAIN OUT is selected, you cannot adjust the
recording level When the MAIN OUT is selected, the recording
level is decided by the setting of Master level in the GLOBAL
page of the OTHER mode. The initial setting of the Master level
is –12dB as the output sound will not distort when many samples
are played back simultaneously. If you record one sample through
MAIN OUT with this setting, the recorded sample level is lower
than the original sample level. In this case, if you set the Master
level to 0dB, the recorded sample level is same as the original
sample level.
Note: When MAIN OUT is selected, the level meter is not displayed.
