If you can use the 500 the 2000 isn't entirely different. Just different ways to do the same thing.

A. If the manual doesn't do it, try using the MPC while looking at the manual. If that doesn't work, search the forum or check out the hundreds of YouTube videos, everyone has their own method of creating on the MPC. The way someone else tells you to use the 2000 may not be the best method for your creativity :idea:

B. It's also the possibility you may not be an "MPC 2k Classic dude", everything isn't for everybody. Take your time and hopefully you will get to the point where you can teach others how YOU use the MP 8)

C. MPC may be broke (someone did "give" it to you) or the OS disc may be corrupt (that's what was wrong with mine) anyway,

I chop up a sample in "zones" on the 2000. Shift + trim, select sample, go to "zone" tab, set start and end point for zone you want to extract and press "edit" tab, set the sample name and "do it". That's a quick run through of how I do it, but you have to learn the basics to get it right. "Do it" (F6) is the abracadabra button on any MPC (that I have seen).
