Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

So I've been messing with my MPC for about 2 weeks and I've basically figured out how I can chop samples the way I want. Is there a way to chop samples quickly on the Classic 2k in a more effective way?

Check you've got the start and end points set how you want by pressing and holding down the 'Play X' button (to listen the the zone) - adjust each parameter accordingly.

Then (I think) you hit the 'Do It' button and it will ask you to give your new zone/chop a new name.

Unfortunately the classic 2k doesn't have the auto zone/chop function which later models have, so you have to create each zone 1 by 1. It can be a laborious process, so don't go mental if it takes you a long time.

Enjoy!
