Ive Just been starting to put beats together on mpc 2000xl, when u make ur beats in song mode, is there a certain amount of bars u use for different seqeunces, for example the intro, chorus etc, also how do u make the sequences play at the same time, for example, if you sample something like a melody, how do u make ir play continiously though ur beat

Press shift plus 2 (misc)
then press f3 (2nd seq)
select the seq. you want to play simultaneously
then press f6 (turn on)

When you go back to the main screen you will see a little indicator telling you that 2nd sequence is on . The 2nd seq will then play along with any selected seq.

Page 36 in the manual, check it out.

Vary that shiznit man. Everytime, until you have done it all. Set a trend by producing like you. Unless you want to have a sound similar to someone else....... not that its anything wrong with that
