Hi everyone.
I was blessed to get an mpc 4000 off my brother recently whos moving. I have some experience with samplers and i really like the mpc 4000 currently however i cant hear anything when i plug in my headphones. I know the sounds are loaded properly, i also know its not the sounds themselves because i cant hear the metronome. Is there any sort of tweaking i need to do to get the headphones working?
Thanks everyone!

I'm no expert yet.... just got mine a few weeks ago. I know sometimes question don't get answer...because member will tell you to read the bloodclot manual. Here we go.....

Did you assign sound to pad?
Scroll down to Part, in TRACK section and assign a program to PART for that track?
The obvious...(headphone Volume turn all the way up?)

That's all a got at the moment. Good luck...Respect

Hugh,
I tried to help before but, you may be one of the lucky ones who have a busted headphone jack. You're gonna have to hook that MPC up through the main outs to find out if its YOU or the MPC!

CHUUUURCH!
