Ok....I know the EPS is 12 bit.....so the sample conversion is 12 bit.....I understand that...
Now let's say I have the sampling turntable hooked up as normal.....but I have my audio output on the EPS going to my IN on the MPC2kxl(16bit)......would it still capture the 12 bit sound??? or am i bypassing the a/d conversion here therfore not capturing the grittiness of the 12bit sound? Becaue this would enable me to get more than 10 secs of sampling time and woudl give me 12 bit if it works this way....someone lemme know what you think about this

oh yeah...just to clarify...keep in mind I'm not sampling to the keys of the EPS, then samplign into the MPC.....what I do is choose my sample rate.....press sample, and while the sample is running I am then sampling into the MPC...I know it's confusing....but I just wanted to know...thanks

Not sure about that. I would expect some phase delay on the sound if the sampling took place, went to memory and back out to the main dacs.
It's certainly possible though.
If I designed it, I would probably do it that way so I don't inject too much noise in the sampling path.

The difference between 12 bit and 16 bit is the number of discreet volume levels that you can vave on a given sample. If you sample something on a 12 bit sampler. it will play back the sound that you may call gritty, abd if you resample that sound with a 16 bit unit it should still have the same quality of the 12 bit sample. Unless your 16 bit sampler has some kind of alogrithm that smooths out the shoppy volume transitions of the 12 bit sample you should not be able to improve the sound quality without some sort of effects or processing. Its just like ripping a cd to MP3 then burning a cd from the mp3 you will now have a cd that has the quality of the mp3, which is not as high quality as the origional cd.
