well it sounds like that you may have to upgrade the ram inside the mpc 2500 you can use a certain type of laptop ram instead of buying the akai brand ram here is a vid with the info you need to help install the ram upgrade:

Does your MPC have the 128mb ram expansion?
Even if it didn't, you should have 68 seconds of stereo sample time (and 136 if you sample mono)..

This might be an obvious question, but have you tried setting the sample time with data wheel (not sure if the default setting on 2500 is 10s or 22s)?
