LMFAOO @ buying something when u know completely NOTHING about it :lol:

like mentioned get the 2000XL manual

Yes you need other speakers to hear sounds. You can connect any speakers thru the stereo outs but u will need 3mm cables like these

Image (not the regular plugs that you will use for like your headphones on your mp3 player but the ones that are a little "fatter")

you can load sounds by having sounds ready on floppy disk or zip disk or whatever drive your mpc has installed.

Hope that helped

I thought this was a joke until I remembered a while back that someone had commented on a keyboard workstation and was upset that it didn't have speakers installed.

that's like saying, "SH!T, the buttons don't light up to tell you which ones to hit or nothin'!!!" lol

The speakers are on the bottom of the unit. Just put it on some bricks to raise it up and then they work just fine.....
