Other Features

Monitoring feature
In the Monitor field of the RECORD page, you can deter-
mine if you want to monitor the input signal (output the
signal from the STEREO OUT) in RECORD mode or not.
ON You can monitor the input signal. This
is useful when you record sounds di-
rectly from the CD player.
OFF You cannot monitor the input signal. For
example: when you send the signal to
the MPC2500 through a mixer, both the
source sound and the monitored sound
may be sent to the mixer. To avoid this,
you should set this to OFF.
Peak hold/Reset peak feature
The level meter in the RECORD page has the peak hold
feature. This is a useful feature for adjusting the signal
level during recording. Normally, the display of the
level meter changes in real time according to the level
of the incoming signal. However, the peak hold dis-
plays the maximum level and keep the level even when
the level decreases.
To reset the peak hold display, press the [F1] [F2] (RE-
SET PEAK) key in the RECORD page.
Sample Memory Window
When you press the [WINDOW] key in the RECORD
page, the Sample Memory window will be displayed.
The Free memory field displays the time you can record
with the current memory. Below it, the status of the
memory is indicated as bar graph.
Below the bar graph, the total amount of the RAM in
the MPC2500 is displayed.
