i personally prefer it because of the pads..but re-sampling would have been insane!


you can re-sample on the XL, it just takes a really long time.

From the TRIM, LOOP or ZONE screen, select the Snd: field and press OPEN WINDOW.

Press CONVRT [F3] and select RE-SAMPLE with the DATA wheel.

Press NEXT [F5].

New Fs:
This sets the new frequency of the sample.
Quality:
This sets the quality of the sample.
LOW: Least quality but fastest processing.
MED: Moderate quality and relatively fast processing.
HIGH: Best quality but slow processing.
New bit:
You can change the ‘bit’ resolution here, generally this is best left at 16, but you can experi-
ment with lower settings to get a less clean sound.
New name:
Enter a new name for the sample here with the DATA wheel or drum pads.
Press ENTER [F5] when you have finished.
Press DO IT [F5] to convert the sample.
Note:As re-sampling uses program memory, there must be more than 4 programs empty of
data befor re-sampling can be carried out.

ahh, ok..

what I meant was how you can plug the outputs into the inputs with patch cables and then push record followed by play essentially recording your entire song composed on the mpc.... so you can have the whole song as one wav file.

You need a new MP to do this, although i'm sure you knew that. :wink:

The xl was and is a great machine, period. If it had a few more bells and whistles (extra filters for starters) then I may have kept mine, but after 10 years it was time for a switch up to a 2500. So far so good, although the xl layed all the foundations and set the bar high in terms of workability. A genuine classic.

Historically it has to be the most used MPC... alot of poeple swear by the 3000, but idk... i mean the $$$/sound/hassle ratio is not worth it imo. I think it's cool if you been using it , but to get one now... i mean its kinda pointless.
.


Not to hate but for me it is pointless to get a 2k, if you are gonna buy new technology (and i consider the 2k 'new') go for a 1k.

I like the mpc2000xl.. it's a good machine, and you can sample records with it... plus it has a higher number then the 1000. and it is larger then the 2000 classic that is why it is the xl version kinda how yukon made the xl. also kanye west says that the xl is better then everything else that you can make rap music with. the 2000xl will make your music just like pete rock's and madlib. plus it is the industy standard.

And I might add the 2000 is the only MPC to have the 16 pads on the right side of the screen area.
Now that's significant! :wink:

I just asked a simple question and people went into jerk mode.

Thanks to those who took time to serious answer my question.

My answer was a general silly one after reading a bunch of threads here on the forums.
