About The MPC2000

The MPC2000 is a great deal for sampling and MIDI sequencing. It replaced the MPC3000 in 1996 and it worked out great — what made it special was WAV file support and the introduction of waveform editing. We start off with the back, explaining how to set up your MPC2000 — cables, MIDI, audio, and power. We cover the front and teach you how the pads, buttons and knobs work.

These lessons will teach you how to sample, edit samples, trim your samples, put them in a sequence, set the tempo for your samples, put sequences into a song, save all your data to a 3.5" floppy disk, load your files back, and the best way to use this classic machine. We also cover how to use the program features for placing and editing samples. Just follow along with our step-by-step lesson plan and you can't go wrong. We cover everything you need to know to get started with your MPC2000.
