Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

My sh*t still doesn't work. I really need to know if my sh*t is broken or I'm just not doing it right...


I have the 2k and I do everything you say. Once I assign a pad to it it changes the pitch. However it stays at that pitch and doesn't change when I move the slider at all. If I record a sequence and use the "After" function while moving the slider, nothing happens. WTF? I like....really wanna use the sh*t. Is this user error or a system malfunction?

press shift and note variation. The screen is waiting for you to choose a pad to assign the slider to. when you choose a sound, then you can choose the parameter, attack, decay, filter, detune. Then that pad will sound different when you keep hitting the pad and moving the slider up and down. Damn i just looked at it and it made sense. you can control the effects that the slider has before or after. So you can assign the slider to a pad, the green light goes on for AFTER, if it doesnt , its on PRESENT, and you have to hit it again.

maybe cuz it was treated like a focus fader. which it ain't.

Also on the xl you can trim like what was said a little earlier.

I use it to pitch up/down short short samples while recording in accordance with the manual Pg 19 2kxl manual.

hey i thought i was the only one! my slider don't work either what's up with that? is it cuz i'm running os 1.14?

I don't think so. I'm running the latest version and the sh*t just doesn't want to work. Is there like a video online somewhere showing how to use the sh*t?

u hold shift then press the after button while holdin it. then when the screen pops up u pick which pad u want to be effected and what kind of parameter u want, like velocity or tuning. then u hit main screen and its set now hit the sample and move the slider.

ron du honestly i think ur broken. U hold down shift then while still hold in down u press AFTER. then select what pad. then press the pad and move the slider at the same time. then hit main screen to get back out. pretty simple man.
