How to sample off of a CD on MPC 2000 XL???????????

I need to know if it is possible to connect either a cd/dvd player to the MPC 2000 XL put a cd in it and sample off of it? If so, where do I connect the cables to on the MPC and what screens do I have to open to be able to start sampling? Also, how do I hook my laptop up directly to my MPC? I have the 8 outs already installed. Thanks...

RTFM if you don't know how to sample.

holy shit

So basically dude plugged it into the wall, turned it on....and got stuck?

Cmon maaaan.

ughhhhhh....

You dont need 8 outs to sample

THOSE ARE OUTS, NOT INS.

If you actually looked on the MPC there is a button that says SAMPLE.

Bro, seriously read the manual, look on the net.

Chances are, you will find the answer faster than waiting for it.

Anyway, since you seem really stumped.

Take the RCA's(you know those white and red cables that connect to the TV) coming from the DVD player to the Record ins of the MPC via 1/4" adapters or RCA to dual mono 1/4" cables.

As for a Laptop and CD player:
1/8"in to dual mono 1/4" cables.
Line out of Comp/CD to record in of MPC.

Read The Fuccing Manual on how to get the sample screen on the MPC!

I learned how to do all of this on my own w/o having to ask......

kids these days.

but than again.... im only 18.

I pity the youth of today.

Nobody's making you reply!!! Get a life lamez...

You're right this is a forum for people who have MPC's and want to share knowledge, but that doesn't excuse your lazy ass not reading the manual. Maybe you should sell your MPC to someone who will read the manual "cash".

By the way Cash, if you don't know how to play a sequence (do you know what that is?), use the button that says PLAY. Sorry for the sarcasm, but man, your question is one of the worst I've read here, ever.

Lame? Look how bad you are clowning yourself. Also this is not an Akai sponsored site...but hell you dont read manuals so how would you figure anything else out. For the record its not about "dumb" questions its about effort. Your questions shows without a doubt that you have taken no real effort to learn anything. Instead you got frustrated and came here looking for an easy way out. Sorry homie but if you want to be taken seriously you need to at least put some effort in. So lets break it down mr "cash"....you spent all this CASH on a MPC, spent a few minutes with it, couldnt figure out what you wanted to do, said "na G im too real for manuals" and came here looking for spoon feeding. THEN when you didnt like the answer you caught feelings and now you come back with that piss poor grammar and you call US lame......
