How to install an EB16 effects board

I am just about to receive an eb16 effects board. I have a mpc 2000xl. Can someone please explain how to install this. Merci!

Open up the MPC.. put the eb16 board in the "slot" with a screw. It is simple as that. 5 min work.

I dont know where the slot is ? Where is it if im looking overhead?

I made a picture for you. At the motherboard is printed "Eb16 Option Board". It is the upper white slot.

This is btw a MPC 2000 Classic but I think a XL ain't very different.

If you look on page 191 of the XL manual, there is a diagram of where all the optional installs go.

Thanks all, very helpful....

What does everyone think of the eb16 ?

No problem m8.

It's sh!tty compared to just about everything else......
...but good enough for live use, or as a 'place holder' until you can put better FX on it..........or, what the hell, I've even used em on finished tracks before (in small doses.)

I'd rather have it than not have it.

i love my eb16 for making my kicks and basses bang

are there better boards you can use?

is it not worth forking out for then?

as right now im using the sansamp psa-1 plugin and logic. which sounds good but be nice to do it on mpc

I agree with this..

so if it's cheap... get it.. if you care about expanding your mpc slightly more than it already is.. get it.
