What is the Akai MPC 2000XL Interface?

Hi, I’m Amir from Precision Audio Productions and on behalf of Expert Village this will be an introduction to the interface of the MPC 2000XL starting from the right side. What we have is starting form the top the main volume button, which is the main output of sound from the MPC 2000. We have the record gain, which controls the level of a signal coming into the MPC. We have the full level button, which makes it thought that when you trigger the buttons, the pads on a MPC it triggers them at the maximum volume. Sixteen level buttons makes it so that one sample could be spread across the entire, all the pads and we have next sequence which moves into the next sequence. We have the track/mute button, which makes it so that you can mute individually different tracks. We have pad banks, we have 16 pads on a MPC and each bank that you hold 16 different samples, so that’s 16 samples on A, 16 on B, 16 on C, 16 on D. That is the right side of the interface of a MPC 2000XL, thank you very much.
