Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

got no idea i have never had that problem.

the only thing i have noticed is that if u load a mono sound into the mpc you are only given the option to send it out as a single digit ( eg - 1,2,3,4) but no 1/2, 3/4 etc

The manual will tell you why. It's detailed in the manual.

2kxl manual has the specifics on the 8out board and why this isn't a problem.

Donlong has the right clue. Now instead of a mono sample try a stereo sample and see what options you get.

Lampdog, you're wrong. You said the same thing in another point. I'll let the manual speak for itself. Word for word from the manual:

The numbers one through eight correspond to each individual out jack on the rear panel. When the sound is in stereo, it is possible to select two digit numbers such as 1/2 or 3/4

Let me repeat the manual When the sound is in stereo, it is possible to select two digit numbers. Trust me I read the manual. Page 131, look for yourself.

Stereo sample will give you options 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8.

Mono sample will give you 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8.

That's exactly the options you get depending on stereo or mono samples..

I say it because it's true. No matter what you or I personally think, that's how the machine reacts to those samples itself.

the samples must be stereo, if you're convinced they're mono, you might be running them through eb16 which makes a sample stereo.

I also tell people to get on the mpc and do what they actually read so that they can actually see how the mpc reacts. Gotz ta push buttons too.
