Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By delc1986 Fri Feb 10, 2006 3:25 am
Hey what up, I just bought my first MPC. It's a 2000XL. I don't have room to bring it to school with me so I am trying to learn as much as possible through the manual while I am away from it. Sorry in advance for posting stuff that maybe already posted.

My questions are all related to learning how the MPC functions. What exactly is a program? Is it just the formate that stores all your presets for stored samples and applied settings like BPM and Velocity ect.

I know what a midi track is but what should I be using when I am orginizing my samples in a track midi or drum? The way I build drums is basicly the same way I do other instraments (IE record a drum sound and assign it to a pad) so what is better to use midi or drum tracks?

Is the Note Number system used just to orginize? I have used a similar set up on reasons NN-XT Sampler but it seems to be more comprehensive because you can set key zones (I guess like 16 variation). Do I just need to assign my samples on different Note Numbers like 60, 61, and 62 for my first 3 samples or is there more I need to know about this function?

Again sorry for reposting stuff that may already be up. If you could help me or point me in the direction of a thread that answers my question I would greatly apreshiate it. I am new to MPC Forum and thanks for your help.

may be hard to grasp the concept without the MPC in front of you ..
but this site has plenty of great info on the MPC to learn from..

here and just surf around the net ... in conjunction with your manual
youll learn loads....BTW what school do you go to ... wheres theres no

Yo my room is small as ****! and thats pritty small. I am go to a small comunications school in Boston and I am going to get a job watching the labs that house our digi 002's so maybe I can just store my stuff there and make beats while I get paid. Other wise I will make room eventually.
