Chapter 3: Recording Sequences
Examples of Sequence Recordings
The MPC2000XL is a sequencer with an internal sampler. You can simply use it as a drum
machine, or as a sequencer connected to a MIDI device.
It is also possible to set a loop to a sequence and repeatedly play a phrase.
Example 1: Recording a Drum Pad Performance
First let's record a drum pad performance. This is the most basic use of the MPC2000XL, by using
it simply as a rhythm machine.
1. Turn the power on and load the drum sounds from the enclosed sound disk. (Refer to the
chapter “Loading and Playing Programs” for details on how to load the sounds.) When you
have finished, check to see if the drum sounds can be played back by playing the drum pads.
2. Press MAIN SCREEN and display the Main Screen. The recording and play back of a se-
quence will always be done here.
3. Select the Sq: field with the CURSOR keys and rotate the DATA wheel and select an unused
sequence (Unused).
4. Select the field to the right of S: with the CURSOR key and rotate the DATA wheel to the right
to select Drum 1.
5. To set the number of bars for recording, select the Bars: field with the CURSOR keys and
turn the DATA wheel to display the following screen. Select the number of bars with the DATA
wheel and press DO IT [F5]
