Other useful functions

The MPC2500 has many exciting and clever functions for Track Making.
ChopShop function & Patched Phrase / Sliced Sample
The ChopShop function is to divide a phrase sample to several
regions. After dividing the phrase sample by ChopShop func-
tion, there are two ways for using them. One is the "SLICED
SAMPLES" that each divided region is assigned as each sample.
The other is the "PATCHED PHRASE" that is one sample but
you can change the tempo of the phrase freely later.
