I read through the forums and found nothing on this. I'm trying to record different sounds from my Roland XP-60 to the mpc2000xl. When I record track 1 (snare drums)on the mpc as a midi track and then (piano) on track 2, the snare on track 1 turns to a piano sound. How can I keep my snare sound and piano sound seperated?

Basically after I record the first track, and I scroll through my keyboard for different sounds for the next track to record, the first track turns into whatever sound I stop at after scrolling.

you have probably entered a programchange at the begining of the track.
delete it or change it to the program you wanna use.

When I go into perform mode on the roland, and change the Pgm numbers on the main screen of the MPC2kxl the sounds change on the roland which I just learned. The sound still changes when I get ready to pick a new sound for the next track. The first track will not stay as is.
