Hey everybody. I have a few questions regarding the AKAI MPC2000XL which I just recently purchased off of Amazon. I purchased it for $700 and it came with the machine & power cable, that's it.
Now, I am very new to the production aspect of music, so excuse me if this all sounds ridiculous or stupid, since it didn't come with a manual, I am lost. A few questions.
1. There isn't any sound coming out of it. Now, I am assuming you need to use the disk drive to fill it up with sounds, as it doesn't come already equipped with sounds. Any place where I can get the sounds or maybe have to transfer free sounds off of the Internet to the disk drive and upload them that way?
2. Are their any types of specific speakers which would work well? I recently discovered that the cables on the back of the MPC are much bigger than regular computer speakers. I bought a MIDI to USB so they can play that way, but I haven't been able to test it out without sounds.
Thanks guys.
