Major help with chopping and looping on the 2000XL

I've read the manual, searched the forum and I may be the only one who doesnt understand this ish cause I guess I'm a little slower than the average person...but how in the world do you hear what you have selected in the trim section and hear what you want to loop. The only way I can hear anything that's highlighted is in the Zone screen and under "play Zone". There has to be an easier way of chopping and finding a loop. Please any help or tips would be great. Peace.

go to trim window then go to zone or what ever it says can't remember right now and set play to zone pick how many zones u want and find which zone u want by pressin a pad or which ever button will play it can't remember right now

Please....someone has got to offer something useful here.

Go to Trim Param. go to Zone(F3),move cursor to PLAY X,Highlighted, and turn the DATA Wheel to U see ZOne high lighted, then go to zone1 highlighted 1,press open window select how many chops U want pressDO IT (F5)and Last press PLAY X(F6) at the same time turnning the DATA WHEEL thru Your selected zone chops.....hope this helps.....CUZ ....if not I dont know what will...1

Anything will help now...but is there a way to listen to see if it will loop properly...like if I hold a button, it will play from start-end-start-end...until I release it to see if it's a smooth loop?

No your MPC doesn't have automatic dishwashing, it's a manual hand in the sink type thing. Come to grips with that and be satisfied.

Good....cause I'm not washing dishes...I thought you were supposed to be helpful...if not...then what exactly do you do?

You can't loop a chop/zones in the ZONE screen. You can go into the LOOP screen and chop a loop from your sample in there. Remember to turn Loop: ON.
Otherwise it means executing the zones you've made in the ZONE screen and then going into TRIM mode and setting each of those individuals chops to loop in the LOOP screen. There's no quick way to tell if a zone will loop the way you want it to. It's just trail and error.
