THE PLATINUM STANDARD IN SAMPLERS GETS EVEN BETTER.
The new MPC2500 Music Production Center is the recognized industry
standard, a 32–voice drum/phrase sampler with up to 128 MB of RAM and
extensive editing control.
Designed for professional music production environments and DJs and live club
performers, the MPC2500 features a time–tested user interface, responsive
velocity– and pressure–sensitive pads, twin onboard effects processors, four
Q–Link controllers (two sliders/two knobs) for extensive real–time control, plus
10 outputs and a S/PDIF digital output.
The ultra–powerful MPC2500 sports a 100,000 note/64 track MIDI sequencer
that can be assigned to four separate MIDI outputs for a total of 64 independently
addressable MIDI channels. Internal sounds reside in flash memory and can
easily be swapped for new sounds via compact flash cards, optional user
installable hard drive, or the optional CD–ROM drive. A CF card with preloaded
sounds is included to get you started.
