MPC2000XL
MIDI Production Center
The MPC2000XL is a complete MIDI production center that combines a
digital sampler, 64-track sequencer and a tactile work surface based
around 16 velocity sensitive drum pads. The sampling section features 16-
bit stereo sampling, 32-voice polyphony and is expandable to 32MB with
widely available standard SIMMs (2MB of RAM is included standard).
Each voice has access to a dynamic resonant filter and envelope and sam-
ples can be precisely edited using the MPC2000XL’s intelligent time stretch
function, graphic cut-and-paste sample editing and resampling capabili-
ties. The sequencing section has a 300,000 note capacity and allows you to
record on up to 32 MIDI channels simultaneously. Two MIDI Out ports
allow you to integrate external synths and synchronize with other worksta-
tions. The MPC2000XL can be pre-configured with a host of options
including 8 individual outputs with S/PDIF I/O, SMPTE I/O and a 4-bus effects processor. These options, including memory
upgrades are user-installable and can be added at a later date.
Sampler/Sound Generator
◆ Sampler, drum machine and MIDI
sequencer in one instrument
◆ 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo sampling with 32-
voice polyphony
◆ 2MB of memory is included as standard
providing 21.9 sec. mono or 10.9 sec. of
stereo sampling.
◆ Two memory expansion slots allow you to
expand the available memory to 32MB
using 16MB 72-pin SIMMs (70ns).
Control Surface
◆ 16 large, velocity- and pressure-sensitive
drum pads and 4 pad banks provide a total
of 64 pad/bank combinations.
◆ Up to three samples can be assigned to one
MIDI note. The samples can be played
simultaneously or can be switched via
velocity, or with the Note Variation slider.
◆ Up to 256 sounds and 24 programs can be
loaded into memory at one time.
◆ Note Var iation slider for programming a
wide variety of dynamics
◆ Large 248 x 64 dot flip-up LCD display for
graphic waveform editing. Six soft keys
under the LCD display provide direct
access to functions on each page.
◆ Dedicated buttons for most-used functions

FEATURES
EQUIPMENT LEASING AVAILABLE
◆ The powerful and easy-to-use 64 track
MIDI sequencer offers a great alternative to
complex computer-based sequencers.
◆ A maximum of 50,000 notes (events) is
available per sequence. The sequencer’s total
memory supports a maximum of 300,000
notes (events) and 99 sequences.
◆ Support is provided for both linear and pat-
tern-style (loop-based) recording. The loop
recording function allows you to quickly
and easily loop short phrases.
◆ The Step Edit function allows you to view
and edit the pitch,duration, position and
velocity of individual events.
◆ A dedicated Undo Seq key allows you to
undo sequence recordings or edits.
◆ Two (mergeable) MIDI inputs and two
independent MIDI outputs allow you to
integrate synths and other MIDI gear into
the sequencing environment.Up to 32
channels can be recorded simultaneously.
◆ The sequencer’s timing resolution is 96
parts per 1/4-note (ppqn).
◆ The Swing feature lets you add a swing-feel
to the rhythm.
◆ The Auto Punch function enables you to
execute automatic punch in or punch at
designated points within a sequence.
◆ The 2nd sequence function allows you to
have a separate sequence play at the same
time that another sequence (or song) is
being played/recorded.
64 Track Sequencer
Storage
◆ MPC2000XL models are available with either a 3.5˝ 2HD/2DD compatible 1.44MB disk drive
or a 100MB Iomega Zip drive for storing and loading samples.
◆ 50-pin high-density SCSI port allows you to back up large projects to a variety of removable
media such as Zip or Jaz disks,fixed hard drive or you can connect a CD Rom drive allowing
you to access a vast array of commercially available sample libraries.
File Compatibility
◆ You can load samples from the vast Akai S-Series Sound Library as well as the Akai MPC60,
MPC60-II, MPC3000 libraries, E-Mu EIII and Roland S750/S760 CD-ROM libraries, as well as
.WAV files from PC disks.
