mpc 2000 question

I just got an MPC 2000 from ebay and i found some drum samples on the internet, loaded them to a floppy disk, put the disk into the mpc and tried to load the sounds onto the drum pads but I cant play them back. Its like nothing happened. Could someone tell me if im doing something wrong or tell me step by step what to do to fix this? It would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

step 1. go to www.akaipro.com

step 2. go to the support page

step 3. download manual



you're welcome

Super, what color is your hair and what style is it in right now.

There's a point to this.

ya, i have been following the manual and still it is not playing the drum sounds back.

a step by step of what you're doin would make it easier to say what you're doin wrong

you've peaked my curiosity

you have speakers right? some people think the vents on the mpc are speakers...

you probably werent actualy assigning the sounds to pads. when you load the sound up, hit the pad you want it to be on BEFORE you press DO IT.

then you should hear something. if that dont work, then something wrong wit your volume somewhere

No, i dont have speakers hooked up to the unit. Maybe thats my problem?
I just figured the mpc would play back the sound without it

damnitman

Headphones perhaps..........

I thought the dude said that to get on someone's nerves.

lol i bought an mpc2000xl on tuesday, i downloaded the manual a month ago and mine works fine

and it's not about downloading samples from the internet!

get you some monitors man!

or a cheap pair of speakers to start off. something! or headphones like bravo said..................

Obviously it must be grey and in a comb-over by now.
