In Master level on the right, adjust the output level of the MPC2000.
It is possible to generate up to 32 sounds at one time on the MPC2000.
Therefore there is a large difference in the output level when one
sound is being played back compared to all 32 sounds played back at
the same time. When you are using many sounds and playing them
back at the same time, the volume might exceed the capacity level and
the sound may become distorted. In such a case, it is possible to pre-
vent the distortion by lowering the level in the Master Level:
field. When you are not using many sounds over each other, you will
have less white noise if the level is increased.
