can u save beats made on the mpc to zip disks
and use them to transfer it to your computer?????????????????????
is that a blue screen ???
Do u still need to use 8 outs
Or just digital coax
Use digital coax if you dont need to send 8 channels of audio at one time.
It is a standard screen
hopefully this will help me cuz i got the 5k and i still dont know how to emport the beats i made
@dreds4000 lol you have a mpc5000 and dont know how to export your beats… hahahahaha
yea i know its a bitch cuz i dont know how to use it properly…cn u help me?
Well all you do is route the outputs of your MPC into your audio interface and record in whatever program that you have… like sonar, cube, logic, etc… simple as that. you can record a stereo “master mix” or track them all separately so you can add efx, eq, etc..
Would you need the midi sport interface, if you were just trying to connect the MPC to the PC in order to sync it with your DAW, cause all i’m trying to do is just that, i can already just use my VSTi’s if i wanted to input those into my MPC, but i’m just wondering if that interface would be necassary to connect it? (I’m considering getting this model soon just some questions to consider before making my purchase)
So if i was connecting an MPC to my PC, i would need to get an additional USB midi cable, run that through to my PC, and then config. that to my DAW and i should be all set if i was just using this for drum sounds?
Monk I have the MPC2000xl, I have a Uno midi to usb, to connect to my computer to active the MPC to be a Slave to Protoots, so when I press the space bar my MPC will start running with Protools. I record, where I run my audio outs of my MPC into my Yamaha O2R 96, then optical out of my Yam, into my Digi 002Rack. From my 002Rack firewire out into my computer, so I can record digitally into Protools. That’s my set up and I love it.
Ok, thank you for answering my question.
Hey Altruwest any chances u know how to hook the mpc with scsi cord?
Hey, The MPC in the video is actually an MPC2000XL with SCSI connection on the back. There is no way for you to hook the SCSI connection directly to your PC. What I recommend is that you buy an MCD for your MPC. This is the best way to insure high speed data transfer and compatibility with your PC/Mac. SCSI will limit you to old HD systems, Floppy Drives and Old CD drives. I would stay away from SCSI if possible today. I used it back in the day and would not go back now.
great video. Can you help me with my new set up. Im not a software guy, but I know I can have my Cubase 4 start when I start my MPC200xl. Here is my set up:
Motif sx6, mpc2000xl, presonus firestudio tube, iMac…I must not have something set up right. can someone help?
@Altruwest
damn, now i just got a zip drive 4 the mpc to try n save all our drum kits, now i dont kno to much about this machine, but i was told that the only way to hook that zip drive 2 a computer was thru scsi. what might be another way 2 hook up that zip drive
@Lorigo559 The easy answer is to buy yourself a USB Zip Drive, That way you have a proper way to transfer from PC to MPC.
@omarphi215 It sounds like you do not have a midi interface right now. This is a main requirement for you to be able to communicate MMC from the MPC to any Host/DAW. You need the MPC to send MMC and the DAW(Cubase to receive/listen to MMC).
@Altruwest 4 sho thanks. If i was to switch to midi using a Phantom X6 what would i need to get it to work?
I have a presonus firewire which i assumed was acting as the interface because we use it to interface the motif via an xlr connection. I have not tried yet but do you think the lambda will interface alongside the presonus rack (firetube)?
what does MCD stand for ?
I just purchased a MPC2000XL Blue w/ MCD card reader! Haven’t gotten it yep!
Now w/ the mcd, i can store and retreve data?
I also have a macbook and pc laptop, what software wld u recommend, how wld i connect either or? Help Please!

Say you made a beat on the mpc 2000xl with samples from a floppy disc, now you want to transfer that beat in the computer, how would you do that?
