Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
ByJoeyobviously Sat Dec 18, 2004 11:25 pm
I got time on the 2000 and know both the 2000 and xl but I'm havin a problem with the tap tempo on my box where it only registers the tempo I hit when it's over 140 or so. This is only on the XL and I was wondering if anyone has any advice or similar problems. holla back.

the 2k or 2kxl doesnt have tap temp.. analogx makes a program

infinitcash : i've never used a 2000 so i don't know about that but on the XL the note repeat button doubles as tap tempo..

anyway - reguarding the problem, mine does that sometimes aswell - it works on my machine if i manually set the bpm to 30 and then hit the tap tempo button again. not sure why that is..

i use it on my 2k classic sometime. say im doing a remix and i wanna get the tempo close to the acapella, tap tempo gives me a good starting point

hold shift + other ( #8 ) and you can change the average of the tap tempo to make it a lil more accurate

word. i used to never use tap tempo till i discoverd this. i set mine at 4 & it works a lot better

the platic buttons om my unit ie the tap tempo/note repeat, has a very little gap of air between the button and the switch under it. this makes the tempo tapping rather untight - so by losely pressing the button to get rid of the "air gap". when I tap on that finger holding the button down tight againt the switch....

yo about note repeat i've got some strange ish going on..

on my XL i use this button once in a while, especially for live purposes to imitate drumrolls etc. BUT: it seems to sometimes randomly set the BPM to 30 (while doing a live show that could be **** devastating). anybody has a potential explanation for this?
