Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By pawn Thu Apr 22, 2004 3:14 am
I just started taking beats more seriously, as in I'd never spend more than a day making a beat n id just record it to a tape, never bothered saving. But now im puttin more effort an they soundin better. Not having a manual I was able to find out how to format a floppy, so after that i went to save all files, cuz i wanted everything to save, but then when I went back the next day to load it up an some shit came up bout sequence an loading an deleting some shit, i dont know but long story short I lost three hot beats. Could someone please explain in lehmans terms how to load save material step by step.

First you save a All Sequences and Songs file, then you save an All programs and sounds file.

I save my sh!t in alphabets . I'll name the program & sequence a corresponding letter and then save under 'Save A program and sounds' and then save the sequence w/ 'Save A sequence' . Using 'Save ALL pgm.s & snd.s' has always seemed like it was easier to save but harder to organize . Then I just select PGM. in the load window and load the letter of the program , and then select SEQ and load the matching letter . The worst is when your'e in the middle of an idea w/ a beat and the power goes out . . . . . or how about when your'e tuning something or f#cking w/ it while the seq. was playing and your MPC freezes ? Has anyone replaced the floppy drive in a 2000 themselves ? Mine has gone south (zip is a blessing) and I need to replace it .
