Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By jehfree Wed Apr 01, 2009 11:14 pm
Well, Im getting mines tomorrow?

I have been using reason for years, and i wanted to try something different.
So i got a good deal for $400!

Only downfall is that there is no manual?

So whats the best way to learn besides firsthand?

Where can I find good tutorials that explain literally everything from the ground up.
Like heavily detailed tutorials that go into depth?

Anything?

Thanks so much

I got my first 200xl about 3 years ago, but bought it back after a day. Pads were all messed up and it was supposed to be almost new (the blue one).

Just picked up another project one for about $125 and I'm slowly bringing it back to life. Should be ready to rock by next friday if all my parts come in.

best way to learn, and i know its cliche, but just use the machine with one hand while holdin the manual in the other

go to kinkos and print it out. get it bound. you learn somethin new about it everyday when you're startin off. it gets a little slower as you get used to it, but the manual still has some things you'll never expect to use til one day.... bam
