Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

When I am happy with a sequence I have recorded with the MPC using Triton's programs/sounds I go ahead and save it as "save all programs & sounds." Then I power everything off.
When I come back to this seqence and open it, the programs that I used in my previous session have been all asigned as "Noisy Stabber" in every track (1,2,3,4 etc.)

My question is is there a way where when I open up a saved sequence/song that it will open sounding like how I recorded it??? Is it the way I am initally saving the sequence/song? Becuase it is a pain in the ass to go back and change back all the programs I've used.

First find out how to send Midi Dumps on the Triton, in the manual.

Then do this:
1. Record all of your drum tracks and midi files (as many as you need)

2. Go into an EMPTY new Sequence, so if you already have ex: 13 sequences, then go to like sequence number 20 (a blank one).

3. Go into the New Sequence and Turn OFF LOOP

4. Go into the sound modules MIDI SYSEX dump section, in the Triton it will be SEND Multi-Setup DUMP

5. Hit record on the MPC and DUMP EACH Midi Track

Ex: Midi 1 for Midi 1, Midi 2 for Midi 2

For EVERY Midi track in the original sequence you will need to DUMP each track, so if you have 19 Midi tracks then you will need to DUMP 19 MIDI track.


While the MPC is recording, in LOOP off, Hit Dump for Each Midi track from the sound module, you will hear the metronome clicking and it will pause each time a dump has been sent from the module. After you have DUMPED and RECORDED all tracks you will have all the MIDI Data recorded to a separate sequence. REMEMBER: to go to the beginning of the sequence for each dump, starting at 1:00:00. So after you dump each midi track, HIT Play/Start to be at the begging and dump each track. Once all of the tracks have been Dumped and Recorded you WILL NOT hear anything on this track and the timing etc, doesn't matter for this sequence as it is only DATA and nothing else. You will need to save ALL of your sequences including the MIDI DUMP as an .ALL file. When you turn off the Module and load the .ALL file in the MPC you will have to go BACK to the DUMP Sequence and play it so that the MPC will recognize the MIDI data. Then go into SONG mode or the original sequence and all of your sounds will be recalled. IMPORTANT NOTE: When playing back the Dump Sequence you will notice, a really cool thing, the MODULE will be changing tracks as the MIDI dump is loading; thus verifying that the DUMP has loaded you will see the last PRESET on your module that you last played as well as the last channel you worked on. Wallah, that's it.

i use a triton and a mpc togther
a little different from you though, but i know what you are trying to do

it will be a lot easier for you to just be in sequnce mode when you are midiing your mpc through your triton and assisgn the sounds you are going to use to their own tracks in the triton then match that to your mpc tracks in the mpc
now when you get ready to save your song save your triton seq on the triton and save your mpc sequence now when your ready to work reload both sequnce and everything will be in the right place(also if you use a floppy you can save both sequences on the same disk)

i hope this helps

you have to keep up with two discs...... One for MPC and One for kybd...

It would be better to organize everything from one location. Via MPC, ZIP etc.
