Just got MPC 4000... NO SOUND!?

I recently bought the mpc 4000 and i'm trying to get the sound to work. I am a total noob at this and would appreciate any help. I read the manual and did what it told me to do to make the pads to work which is; Load... select a program from the mpc hrdrive.. then go back to main and scroll down to the Out PART 1 Program section and load the program. I'm just trying to get the sound to work from the pads, if anyone can help me with Step by step instructions, i would appreciate it. I'd be happy if i just got the sound to work. Thanks.

do you have speakers connected? headphones? if so where are they connected. Do you have samples loaded that you know 100% that they work? do you have the volume of the mpc turned up? there are so many possibilities.

do a search around the 4000 section... many people have posted threads like yours.

I do not have speakers or headphones connected... do i need them? The samples are just from the hardrive that it came with ex: b1111111 b222222 b3333333 ect. a whole list of them.. im not 100% they work but i've tried so many of them... any yes the volume knob is turned up..

Hi.Go to program choose kg mix press a pad in sample zone dial in a sample.if theres no sample loaded from the hd the space will be blank.....so go to load and choose a folder,inside there should be programe 1 ect and a bunch of audio files underneath which when highlighted you can audition-f4.......hear anything??good.enjoy NOTE- I JUST READ- YOU VE NOT GOT ANY SPEAKERS ATTATCHED???????

No speakers attatched... like i said im a total noob... i thought the sound would just come out... so i need speakers? any certain kind?... i appreciate the help guys

well... have you ever tried using an ipod with no headphones? how about a computer with no sound blaster? did you ever throw a cd into your stereo but you never connected the speakers?

sound dont come out of thin air... so you better get yourself a good pair of midi headphones.

Maybe,just maybe,its a long shot bbuuutttt...maybe you could put your ear up real close to the mpc and listen.Hear anything??

read your manual

I thought the sound was just built in (if you see those lines at the top left and right), i have a laptop where the sound just comes out.. but yeah i got the headphones and speaker and it works .. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't broken so i came on here.. Thanks guys

For this comment homeboy ,I beleive you would be better off dead.Think of all those starving kids that wanna live and show appreciation of there shite life they deserve to have ample food on there plate even as a treat but you **** dont deserve your mpc 4000 .Your a greedy man so go and wank off in a coffin

That would be cool though, an mpc with built in speakers...

It might be a laughing matter now, but the kat that makes this happen will be the one smiling...all the way to the bank.
