Sequencing multiple programs on the 2000xl

When you use multiple programs on the MPC do you have to save every time that you record a new sequence? The problem that I am having is that when I record a sequence with a program and then change the program on a different track or in in program screen, the sequence will play the sound on the new program instead of the sound from the program that I recorded with. Thanks for the help in advance.

uhh.. i cant follow you right now .. u have to assign the same sample sound in 2 programs (to use different params on the same sound) or use 2 sounds in diffrent programs on the same pad .. ??

NO, but it doesn't hurt.

ie: seq1, trk1, drum1, record an instrument.

now, same seq, trk2, drum2 and record another instrument.

Once you record, DONT change the drum# on that track. That track will ALWAYS be looking for that drum# that you used to record with.

Uhh, theres allways a possibillity to change the "drum#" -> program and its assigned sounds even after track rec.

... On every track in a seq ur able to change drum# on the fly(seq is running) to change ur sounds/loops if u have any assigned.

If you go to SAVE .MID the specific tracks', program sound is "locked/saved" in the lastest state for the track/seq used... and to be able to use the programs sound used in the seq, u have to save the PGMs too...(to load all **** up again after av power on/off session...)

Sorry -- I give up, im still not following this threads question.,. and cant right now be chrystal clear explaining this.... im still listening/learning tho' !

Sorry guys, in a nutshell the problem that I am having is that I don't know how to use multiple programs on my MPC. I know how to load them but I don't know how to use them recording.

Spend time reading and pushing buttons while going through
Chapter 7 Creating and Editing Programs. (xl manual)

I'm sure in the last 2 decades this has been worked out but I was wondering about the same thing and came across this post...
...so if anyone else has the same issue see page 13 of the manual:
"A maximum of up to 4 separate programs can be played simultaneously on the MPC2000XL."
So when you create or load up a program and go into programs it says "Please select a DRUM program to edit."
Well "DRUM1.. ..4" - this is where you can assign different programs to one of your four DRUM slots.
Then go back to the main screen and on a track by track basis you have in the bottom left "S:DRUM1" this can be changed to 1,2,3 or 4 to bring up a different program that you have assigned in the previous step.
