Akai MPC 2500 Note Duration Calculation

Audio, MIDI, MIDI External, Sample Editor, [1] Logic-Pro No Comments »

Useful in Step Edit Mode when sequencing phrases in Note-On Mode.

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.

Is it possible to play back multiple midi channels from logic into the MPC 2500? The answer is NO. The MPC 2500 is not a multi-timbral Sampler. That is to say it is not a multi-timbral sound module. The MPC4000  / 5000  / z8 are multi-timbral.

Therefore, even though you can send out an MPC 2500 SEQUENCE of multiple TRACKS with independently assigned MIDI channels and demix them in LOGIC PRO you cannot play them back into the MPC 2500 and hear them as intended. ALL MIDI DATA IS MERGED AND PLAYS THE CURRENTLY ACTIVE MPC 2500 TRACK. So you get a Continue reading »
