Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Ok, ive read the manual and ive done a search. I cant seem to find a solution for this yet. I have all my .pgm files saved to a card ALREADY. I make sequences and save them, when i reload of course the program file isnt there. Is there a way to associate a sequence with a pgm? So they load together? Or do i just have to write down which pgms i have loaded to each sequence? thats slowing me up.

u need to save the program and the sequence by saving .aps or .all ..... not sure wich one...what i do is save whatever pgm's im workin with and all sequences into one folder and name the folder.... so if i got like a hundred beats then i got a hundred folders.....na mean son ?!?!?! .....

well what i was trying to say is that i have ALL my programs on the card already. I created them with mpceditor. So do i have to RESAVE them? That would eat up space in NO time.

Organization and Education is key.

Create a folder for each song and save APS and ALL for each song in it's OWN folder.

Store your source samples on a different card/disk.

Learn what files the machine is capable of handling.

ie.
APS
ALL
SEQ
MID
PGM

Learn what they means, contains, does when you load/save/play.

Resaving them simply overwrites them when you are in the same folder, it does not store a new copy. If you save them into seperate folders it will duplicate them, but if you are using a card reader, space is cheap... and its nice to have backups of work anyway.

You can never save/load sequences and programs together. They are always seperate. Just use the same name for both files and its simple. Keeping them in different folders like mentiond above makes things even easier.
