Creating a program
Hold down SHIFT and press PROGRAM (6 on the numeric keypad), the "DRUM 1-4" select
screen will appear. As four programs can be played back at the same time, you can select which
of the programs (“DRUM 1 - 4”) you want to edit. If you are only playing back one program, select
DRUM 1.
1-NEW PROGRAM A will be displayed in the Pgm: field. If there are programs stored in the
MPC2000XL, you can select a program by moving the cursor to this field and rotating the DATA
wheel.
To create an entirely new program, use the displayed 1-NEW PROGRAM A and assign
sounds to/edit this program.
To create programs:
1
Load the sounds from disk (or sample the sounds) that you intend to use in the program.
(Refer to chapters “Creating and Editing Sounds” and “Disk Operation.”)
2
Hold down SHIFT and press PROGRAM (6 on the numeric pad) to display the Program Edit
screen.
3
Select from “DRUM 1 - 4” (F1 - F4).
4
Assign a note number to the drum pad. If you are not playing the MPC2000XL from a MIDI
device, such as a MIDI keyboard, the default settings can be used.
5
Assign a sound to the note number. This assigns the sound to the drum pad.
6
Press PARAMS [F2] and display the parameter screen and set the parameters of the sound.
7
Hold down SHIFT and press MIXER (7 on the numeric pad) to display the Mixer screen and
set the volume or pan of the sound. If you have installed the optional 8 Assignable Mix out or
effect boards, you can set them here also.
