The 2000xl allows for much more notes.  I think the memory goes higher
too but the 1000 has USB storage.  Some people say the effects are
better on the 1000.  I used to have the old just mpc2000.  I didn't
have it long with the MD.  I had to sell something.  One of those
things you regret, but I just couldn't keep the big box. 

What you have to do is be sure you have the right Midi channel on the
mpc.  You have to make sure its on the right a or b and number in the
lower left corner.  You have to make sure it's set to recieve midi. 
What you also might want to do is trigger patterns on the MPC.  That
way you use the best part of the MD, pattern locks.  That way you
don't have to worry about cc#s and where they are.  It can get
confusing on the mpc.  

I remember it took me a week to figure out how to sequence on the mpc.
 Then years later another week to figure out how to use midi on it.

I have to say it's one of (or THE best?) the best midi hardware
sequencers out there.  You can even live record all midi data.  It has
a good resolution so things like cc# changes are relatively smooth. 
If you get used to pattern mute screen you can get some great live
events going on.  Even having a pattern for just certain cc#s is a
great idea.

You might want to check mpc-tutor.com for the mpc help.  I forgot much
but I may be of little help.
