Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

by either reading the manual or searing the forums this question gets asked atleast once a day on here.

its funny people do the "yo use the search thing" when they could simply answer the question

no the 2000xl doesnt have mute groups, if you're referring to the mute groups the 2500 + 1000 have...

they do have mute targets, but the problem is you can only assign it to mute 2 pads..

shift > program > whatever your program is on f1-f4 > f2 > where you select the polyphony press the open window and voila.......

The manual should have been read in detail from the get go.

While I agree that people should read the manual, there's still an argument to say that if people didn't ask basic questions such as this, others wouldn't provide excellent responses such as rayeza's detailing his techniques and giving others an insight into it.
Every forum has it's share of beginners and experts.
I am sure there is only a small percentage of people who get a new MPC then the first thing they do is get the manual out, leave the MPC in its box, then sit and read for an entire day.
Nah, you get the beautiful machine out plug it in, bang away, ask a question on a forum. Enjoy it.
Like someone else said: by replying with "RTFM", you could have posted a reply or not bothered at all, or better still spent the time making music.
I would be interested to know how many people who do reply with "RTFM" don't actually know the answer to the question themselves.:lol:

Or the manual could have been read in the first place to get the basics and not have even wasted time asking a basic question in the first place, or better yet, spent the time reading and pushing the buttons you read about as you go through the manual/pdf/book.

Either way, this wouldn't be an issue if the manual had been browsed from jump street :) .

Not everything is in the manual but this one happens to be.

best way is to just explore man. read a lil bit of the manual and then just experiment. thats how i learned
