Loading Programs on the Akai MPC 4000

In the next section I'm going to teach you guys how to load your programs with your samples. In this section you got to make sure that you load the programs, but also you got to make sure that you're loading the samples as well, because if you load the programs by themselves you're not going to have any sound. When loading up something the first thing you want to do is go to the load screen and go to your hard drive or wherever the specific program is. You're going to know a program is a program because it has a keyboard next to it. It's going to have a little keyboard icon. When you find something you want to load up you could highlight it and press do it. You can press do it. When you load a program it's going to bring up a screen asking you if you want to do it with samples or without samples. In this case we're going to do it with the samples so we can bring up all the sounds. If you don't do it with the samples you're not going to get any sound out of it. Unless you already have the samples loaded up onto your MPC ahead of time. Once this is all set you're going to have to take your file and you go into the main screen and assign it to a part, just like we did in all the other ones. This will help, this will make sure that you can start off and make a track have all the samples there right at your disposal.
