I'm using mpc editor already it's nice to make programs from it but you don't know my drums collection more than 2000 samples.You understand ?when i'm in composing process i need to have choices in my big library without changing and reloading zip disks everytimes.

Well then you should probably not use a MPC and use software then.

do you even use vinyl?

you should use your software to find/ preview sounds to create your own PGM for transfer via floppy or ZIP to the mp.

if you have a sample cued up on the mp, just simply go to your PC to find the appropriate drum sounds, then export that newly created 'drum' PGM. add your sample (from vinyl!) to the PGM on the mp and re-save it to your disk.

the goal is to have as simple a PGM as possible as to not confuse the heck outta ya when you re-load that 'beat' to mess with.

i don't think most hiphop beats are made with more than two sound banks. 16 chops and another one with drums/ percussion/ other chops etc should be enough to work with. and you have 4 banks. so, plenty of room as far as i'm used to.

I understand where multirecord is coming from. I went from an XL to a 3000 and asked the same question. What I found was that it forced me to be a little more creative when makin my PGM's. On the XL, I used to have 64 sounds per PGM. ie, 64 kicks, 64 snares, etc. But if you think about it, are you "really" gonna use 64 different kicks ?

peace,

i think this is the best answer to this problem with the 3k.if you can only use 64 sounds at a time just audition the sounds you want to use for your sample on the computer.then when u get the percusion sounds you want, save them as a pgm and use them in the mpc.

No i won't use 64 differents kicks never : it's just to choose the most efficient kick or snare for my beat. I can use only 5 sounds but to choose the best one it's better to have a larger choice on those 64 sounds.
Thanks all your advices help me so much it will change my method of compsing on 3K
Thanks
Peace

Thanks it's the best advice at all i will do that and keep that method.

cool,good luck with it.

I understand also. I got used to working on the 4000 and the ability to load multiple programs just expands the possiblities of how many sounds you have immediate access to. Thats the only thing keeping me from going back to the 3000. Well, that and wav support. The 3000 is still the best MPC ever made but it just doesn't work the way I work.

It's a trade off people. when it come to these machines you gotta decide what you need the most. It's no secret that the 3k is going to cause you to work a bit "harder". Although Rohan is working diligently to bring the 3k some "new school" enhancement, I'm certain there are some limitations and inevitably you can't have it all.
Besides the work flow of the 3k is awesome if you actually spend time making beats & spend less time thinking about making beats. If you feel you really "need" multiple programs then get a 2000XL and be prepared to forfit whatever it is that the 3k has.

all that shit aside, everyone with a 3K should buy the OS to support the software developers so they can eat Top Ramen for however long it takes them to develop the OS further

Mono and poly for the whole program... i need cuttof !!! and preview samples in load mode...

.

"oh and i dont have a 3000 but i think i speak for everyone in this forum..... FOLDER SUPPORT! is it possible?"

That's what I'm talking about. This is the ONLY reason I haven't bought the 3000.
