What's up to everyone on this forum. I have been reading up on this forum for a little while now and must say that I am very impressed with the wealth of information it yields!! I have PM'ed a couple of people in the past, but this is my first true post! I have searched(and still will), but still haven't found an answer on this, so here goes:
I have an MPC 2000 with a Roland XP-60 keyboard connected to it. I have finally created and saved a song. The song contains "drum" as well as "midi" tracks. Is there a way I could get the MPC to load up the sounds automatically on the keyboard when I go to retrieve this song on the MPC? Or do I have to manually go into the keyboard's "multi-mode" and enter my sounds per channel(the sounds i used when making the song) for this particular song, so that it plays back properly on the MPC? I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you assign the correct midi channels & program # in your MPC and save it, it will load and assign your patches on your keys automatically as long as your keyboard is set up to recieve this info. (ie. with multi mode on and recieve program change on in your keyboard) ....

while that will work the mpc wont remember which bank the patches were in on the xp so you would still have to go into the xp and change each bank accordingly.....

MSB / LSB on the MPC settings change the banks on your synth......These are not standard yet so you have to check the documentation that comes with your synth........

youll have to insert them in step edit as you go, I think its much easier to just trigger the dump from the xp and record the sys ex data in the mpc, takes all of about 10 seconds...

plus, when you record sys ex data it records ALL of the info in the xp, volume settings, fx settings, etc, etc.....
