Diggin on your beats I like inner city, and sexy. Keep bangin on.

thanks ZAM13 glad you like them... but does anyone have an answer to the question about the main outs??? this is my first mpc
thanks

Try hitting the record first let it run for 2 seconds then run your sequence. see if that work then cutdown the space time in trim just for starters.

How did you make out?

Off topic but is that your MPC with the black pads? any more overhead pics?

Nice beats btw, especially like 'sexy'

BDBRAKE,,,, i tried it your way and it worked for me... i didnt know i would have to recut the sample thats all..
Spirez,,,, those are mpc pics from other forms that i just snatched, i actually have the RED pads on my MPC2500... and it looks devilish. im thinking about getting a new paintjob also.. my friend is an artist check him out http://www.myspace.com/serafino
