128 sound Program? HELP!!! PLEASE

MPC-2000
I just got a new keyboard that had way more than 128 sounds. Where it says Prgm it only goes up to 128 right? so im wondering how I can change it to use all of the other sounds on the keyboard. if it helps it's a casio wk-3700. I need to know how to access and save them in a sequence. I can't get to them how I used to with my old keyboard which only had 100 sounds. I know there has to be a way to utilize the other sounds so any help would be great.

if you need a patch thats above 128, turn it back to off and select the patch directly from your keyboard.

make sure to name the mpc track something so you can remember which sound you used from the keyboard.

Dam ok so thats the only way?

thanks to nikeen, this is pasted from a previous reply to the same question..

Featherboy is correct, there are only 128 MIDI program changes. So the Programs in your Proteus are arranged in "Banks" or groups of 128.

As nanoloop mentioned, you will need to insert a Bank change. A Bank change uses a combination of Controller Change 0 (Bank Select MSB) and Control Change 32 (Bank Select LSB). With the MPC2000XL, you will need to do this in the Step mode and make sure you are at the start of the sequence. Press Step, then Insert and select "Control Change" as the type of event. When you hit the "Do It key", you'll see Control Change:Bank Sel MSB with a value of 0 You'll need to change the 0 to whatever is specified in your Proteous manual. Repeat the steps again and select Bank Sel LSB

With most MIDI devices you will need to Enter both of the Controller Changes Bank Sel MSB (CC 0) and Bank Select LSB (CC32)to pull up a different bank. With the Proteous, the manual will tell you what numbers to use to select different banks. As an example, you may need to insert Bank Select MSB with a value of 0 and Bank Select LSB with a value of 2 to pull up bank 3 on your Proteous.

Once you have selected the Bank, you will still need to use a Program Change to select a Program from the Bank. It seems a little complicated at first, but gets real easy as you do it. Just remember,

"Bank Sel MSB" is the same as Conrol Change 0 and "Bank Sel LSB" is the same as Control Change 32

Hope this helps,
Nick

I have never understood this, and I understand a little more now.
Nikken, Nanoloop, thanks for that

never knew that

Let me get this right....I can use my MPC as a sort of "track recorder" with an external device such as the MicroKorg?

yes, very easily...
micro can trigger sounds inside the mpc and you can record it on a type "midi track" on mpc..

I have done this w/ my triton and asr, MANY people have done this and STILL do this.
