Scroll to the bar number where you want to commence your note duration.
Press Over Dub and hit the relevant pad.
Calculate the exact Duration value to type in to the D field on the MPC based on the following calculation.
MPC 2500 has 96 Parts per Quarter Note. Therefore, the Duration of 1 beat = 96
for signatures of 4/4
1 bar = 96 x 4 D= 384
2 bars = 96 x 8 D = 768
3 bars = 96 x 12 D = 1152
4 bars = 96 x 16 D = 1536
…
8 bars = 96 x 32 D = 3072
16 bars = 96 x 64 D = 6144
Hope this is useful. I couldn’t find any info out there so here it is.
