Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By johanjsm Mon Feb 16, 2009 6:46 am
went over to my friend's house and under a lot of dust and wires saw there was a 2000 classic. turned it on -

I have a 3000 so i'm not sure about a few things...

1. i could get to the fx screen and turn things on and off but nothing happend... can't remember if i turned the mixer channels to the E setting. But anyways - because I could get to the fx screen, does that mean the eb16 is installed???

2. sampled something and went into znEdit - extracted a new sample. the 2nd time, i opened the original sample (not the sample i had just extracted) and found a new section i wanted to extract but when i tried to create a new sample it said the file already existed (even though i definitely created a different file name). He's got an old OS i think... is that a bug??? Or if i installed a new OS it would fix it right? that's not a sign something's fkd right?

sorry if these questions are basic- i just don't know! help me out please!

1. Yes. If you can see the FX page, the eb16 is installed. Otherwise there would be a page with an info that its not installed.

2. Did you hit enter after entering the letters of the new name?

200$ is a good price On ebay they usually go for over 300 (and many of them didnt have the eb16). Take it (or try 170$ and be happier about the xtra $ you saved ;))

peace

great! eb16 is in there - awesome. yeah i will keep pressuring my friend... smokes a lot a weed and it'll take time to get him around to passin it along to me. yeah i hit enter and then it would say that the file already exists... it's gotta be a software problem (if it is a prob and not my lack of knowledge) - and i bet a software update would fix it.

yeah either way it is worth it since a lot of people sell just the eb16 for 300 on ebay. Sometimes you see people trying to sell it for more then that.
