chopping on the 2000

i just got a mpc 2000(i neva used one btw) and i want to chop my samples into alot of pieces and assign each part to a different pad, and i cant figure out how to do this, any help?

First of all, you gotta go in your trim screen and hit the Zone button. Can't remember which "F" button it is since I'm not in front of it. Then you wanna go to the top right corner and change the Play option to "zone". This will allow you you hear the highlighted "zone" you're working with. When you're finished just hit edit and it will ask you what you wanna do with it.

You might wanna download the manual and read it. It's free

thanx

**** i just started getting the hang out if and all of a sudden my screen went blank..the back light was still on but all the words were gone. is shut it off and turned itback up and the same thing happnd..what should i do to fix this?

hey im new here but not new to making beats in all,but i just copped about 1,000 albums all lp's and i wanna know how to use the chop feature you guys are talking about ..........i use to make beats by just playing them by ear on my keyboards and stuff.....but i ran across some videos of KEV BROWN and PETE ROCK on youtube and they was doing this chopping stuff wit the lp's so i was like man that would be ill if i can do that with all this viynl i got .....i think i got the basics from just reading what you guys already talked about but what i wanna know is how to make them into a program and save them as one?......one sound or chop rather to each pad?

THANKs

to sample sum u need to hit shift+sample then click record and start playin ya vynal..... after it records you go to your trim sceen take out wat ever you dont need then..then znedit get the peices you want and then go 2 program and add them 2 your pads

i just started too but once you start playin around with it, it will get easier, my only problem now is that once in a while my screen will go blank and im forced 2 shut my mpc off

YO thank ill i will try that ,so when im done with the zone edit what do i hit to make it a new sound ? so i can use it on a pad


and sorry to hear about your mpc-classic!!!......ebay is full off them...i may cop a xl my self but im keepin my classic!!!

after zone edit and you make ya zone go to program hit the pad u wanna use then go to which sound u want exapmple sound000 sound 0001

ok i think i was doing it backwards.....so before i can znedit i haft to choose a sample first? or i will have nothing in the edit screen? i did that before ......yo good lookin out on your help!!

yea u need to record your sample first then you trim it then you take it to znedit

U can veiw a zone u select and truncate that part but it doesnt creat the zones automatically like the 2kxl

last nite i tried to play around with the znedit and just confused! yes i sampled about 20sec from this lp then i put the sample on pad d16.......then i whent into parms and set all the pads in bank 1 to mono...then i went into sample menu pulled up the sample hit the znedit and in the play x box i set it to zone!!!.......then i hit the pads i heard nothing.......so i hit the play x .....i heard nothing!!! so i move the data wheel and hit play-x and i started to hear the sample.....is this correct?
