1. Turn the MPC2000 on and load the drum sounds from the enclosed

sound disk.  (Refer to the chapter “Disk Operation” 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 the MAIN SCREEN key and display the main screen.  The

recording and play back of a sequence will always be operated
here.

4. Select the track type field with the CURSOR key and rotate the

DATA wheel to the right to select Drum.

5. Select the BARS: field with the CURSOR key and set the number

of bars to record with the DATA wheel.  In this example, we will
