Playing More Than One PGM in a Recorded Sequence Problem

Is it possible to program a beat with multiple PGMs into one sequence on the MPC3000? I've read in the manual that you can have up to 128 sounds in memory and up to 24 PGMs.


I have a sequence where I recorded my drum pattern with 1 PGM full of my drum sounds. I have 2 PGM with the samples loaded up. When I attempt to go to switch to my samples in the activate program window and change the 1 PGM to 2 PGM with the samples. I press play on my 3000 it triggers my recorded drum events with 2PGM sounds instead of my drums sounds.

I would like to lay down my drums with 1PGM and then my samples in 2 PGM all within the same sequence like I'm able to do on my MPC4000.


MPC3000 has 32meg memory expansion and I'm running OS 3.11

Thanks for your help in advance.

What you'll need to do is.

A) Put all the samples you want to use into ONE PROGRAM, the MPC3000 can only use one program at a time.

B) If you have different programs you want to use in one sequence as you described, you'll need to track out and build your sequence in a DAW.

This is one reason why Dr Dre used more than one MPC3000, to get around this restriction.

"Can you talk a bit about some of the equipment you use?

I love using the MPC3000. I like setting up like four or five different MPC3000's, so I don't have to keep changing disks [programs]. So I have them all lined up, and I have different drum sounds in each one, and then we use one for sequencing the keyboard. "

Thanks guys for the information you all provided.
