67 samples and only 64 pads . . .

Hi. I have recycled a sample into 67 samples. I only have 64 pads (obvious, i know). What should i do about this. Can the MPC still accept 67 samples? Thanks, Ben

wat do u have, 4 mpc's lined up?
just delete sound number 12, 46, 61 & 64 and u should be ok. j/k

do u have the 2000 or the 2kxl? i no the xl can use up to 4 programs, which is 256 sounds in a sequence. u have to create a new program.

nevermind, bicedidit beat me


but just to add a bit of extra knowledge, you actually have provision for up to 24 programs in total. But you can only have a max of 256 sounds in the mpc. And as bice said, you can only have 4 programs being played at any time.

really? i thought all u could have was 256 sounds in 1 sequence, with the 4 programs combined, but up to 24 programs with as many sounds as the 32mb allows.
im prolly mistaken tho, not that it even matters. 4 programs filled with 256 sounds is way to much work for me. i think ive maxed out at something like 130 samples on the mpc, which was all used on 1 beat.

is there really no way that the 200xl cant be expanded to work with more than 32mb memory?

Thanks, Ben

No it can't be expanded anymore then 32mb.

in recycle, cut the pieces into larger pieces...

but you could buy an external sampler and control it via midi and have all the time u need

can you use 2 mpcs together?

man, this seems like a lot more work than it's worth. i couldnt even imagine trying to fit that many samples into one track

if this goes down and you use all those sounds. post it up so I can take a listen!

yea..that would work best in this kind of situation.

plus, if you fill up all your pads with chops, where are your drums gonna go?
