Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

So I had a program with some sounds and tunings and whatnot. I'd load it and then assign sounds/pads to the various 8 outs...well I got sick of having to route everything to the 8 outs after loading, so I saved the program again after I had assigned everything to the 8 outs thinking next time I loaded the program, it would load and assign my samples and that they'd all be routed to the 8 outs I had set them up on...well now when I load the same program, it doesn't load any samples at all or assign anything to the pads I had assigned sounds to.

Did I accidentally overwrite my program in some weird way, or does assigning everything to the 8 outputs and trying to save those settings in a program not work? I have all my files/samples in the same folder, so I know that's not a problem; it's not trying to pull files from a directory it doesn't have access to. I didn't even make any other adjustments to the program & files; the only thing I did is load it up like normal and then save again after I assigned everything to the 8 outs. That was the only change I made. Basically everything worked fine until I saved after assigning pads to the 8 outs.

I mean, it wasn't a big deal having to load the program and then assign everything to the 8 outs, I just figured I could save some time by saving the 8 output assignments after setting everything else up..

You may have accidentally overwrote your program.

Mixer settings is saved in ALL not with the program (PGM), for each project save APS and ALL.
PGM is a single PGM. ALL is all mixer and song settings. APS is all programs and sounds (samples).

2kxl has 4 active programs, may be possible that your programs wasn't loaded into the correct DRUM 1-4.
Check that out and pay attention to where your program is loaded. Everytime you load a PGM it goes
directly to DRUM1, other gets pushed back. Remember that and sort it out accordingly.
