I think theres no way to time stretch on the 2000 than chopping your sample into little pieces and play them so they fit to the tempo of your song....this works only if you got a sample thats slower than the tempo of your beat is,so the sample parts overlap at the end and beginning....there `s a pete rock video on youtube where he describes how to do it.much work on the 2000,but to flip a sample the best way,it helps you to add a little more dirt and funk than just timestretching.have fun!!
peace

ooooh,this should have been discussed more than one time.....maybe the search function needs an update....

Thanks for mentioning that Pete Rock vid. I didnt know about that and I have wanted to know was stretching possible on the 2k too.

them new turntables with real time timestrectch would be mad for the 2000 owners. i think they the usb ones and have spdif outputs too.

Time stretch is not a function on 2k classic.

What pete rock did in that video is not timestretching, it's playin chops.. on beat, slow down the tempo of the chops and play them in time with the beat.

I know that the question I want to know is, besides chopping, can you also substitute that limitation by triggering samples on the MPC 2000 that have already been timestretched on the akai S950?

Yeah like 714 said, that would be the same as like triggering samples from a sound module wouldn't it 714?
