i recently got a mpc 2000 and im trying to lay down some drums that will come off one floppy. but i like the snares and high hats on another floppy and when i load the other floppy in the old rythm i laid down doesnt stay, the new floppy sounds take over the old drum line.

so how would i be able to lay down multiple tracks with different floppies with different sounds. :mrgreen:

2k has ONLY 1 program to work with actively. Other programs can be held in memory BUT for the pads, it's one program at a time = 4 pad banks.

You are loading new sounds, but you are keeping the same sequences. so the new sounds playback with the old sequencing.

New sounds, new sequence if you wanna start all new.

This is mentioned in the manual. U'd be better off understanding the basics by going through the manual and reading and doing what you read about at the same time. You'll find out alot of stuff about your machine just by doing that. trust.
