Sampling a New Sound
Sampling is done in 16-bit linear format with the same 44.1kHz sampling rate as used with com-
pact discs.
CAUTION: All sounds are lost when the power is turned off. This means that you must
load in sounds from a disk every time the MPC2000XL is turned on, and you
must save any edited or newly sampled sounds to disk, or the changes will be
lost!
To sample a sound, hold down SHIFT and press SAMPLE (or 4 on the numeric pad) to display the
sampling screen.

• Input:
You can choose from the following two sound sources.
ANALOG The recording source is connected to the rear panel analog RECORD IN
jacks.
DIGITAL The recording source is connected to the DIGITAL input on the rear
panel. This input can be connected to any 44.1kHz digital SP/DIF source
such as a CD or DAT tape recorded at 44.1kHz, but 48 kHz sources are
not supported.
CAUTION: You can only choose DIGITAL when the optional IB-M208P board is
installed.
• Mode:
Set the mode to STEREO or MONO input.
MONO L Sampling is done in mono, using only the left RECORD IN (or the LEFT
signal of DIGITAL IN). The mono signal is monitored at both the left and
right sides of the stereo outputs, but the level meter will only show LEFT.
MONO R Sampling is done in mono, using only the right RECORD IN (or the
RIGHT signal of DIGITAL IN). The mono signal is monitored at both the
left and right sides of the stereo outputs, but the level meter will only show
RIGHT.
STEREO Sampling is done in stereo, using both the LEFT and RIGHT RECORD IN
(or the LEFT and RIGHT si1gnals of DIGITAL IN).
