This is cool but......
Unless there is more to this function, the MPC 2500 is still behind the 2000XL which has options to change the bit, sampling frequency, or both:
Page 97 2000XL manual:
Re-sampling
Re-sampling allows you to change the sampling frequency of the sample. This is useful for conserving
memory or it can be used to ‘creatively’ change the quality of the sound (to ‘dirty it up’ a
little).
From the TRIM, LOOP or ZONE screen, select the Snd: field and press OPEN WINDOW.
Press CONVRT [F3] and select RE-SAMPLE with the DATA wheel.
Press NEXT [F5].
New Fs:
This sets the new frequency of the sample.
Quality:
This sets the quality of the sample.
LOW: Least quality but fastest processing.
MED: Moderate quality and relatively fast processing.
HIGH: Best quality but slow processing.
New bit:
You can change the ‘bit’ resolution here, generally this is best left at 16, but you can experiment
with lower settings to get a less clean sound.
New name:
Enter a new name for the sample here with the DATA wheel or drum pads.
Press ENTER [F5] when you have finished.
Press DO IT [F5] to convert the sample.
