compatability between Mpc500 and 2000XL?

compatibility between Mpc500 and 2000XL?

does the mpc 500 read mpc2000xl .aps and all. files?

and what happens to the samples assigned to the 16 pads mpc500 don't have?

On your first question.......No. These are the files it will read from the 2000XL SEQ, WAV, SND, PGM (Most parameters of PGM file can be loaded.)


For your second question...... http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=59360

thanx!

how many programs and sounds can the mpc 500 store?

sorry for asking all thees questions but a need to find out what this mpc is capable of doing

Ram size for holding sounds is:11.5 MB this is equal to about 2min 2 secs worth of sound in mono(or something like that).

It will allow up to 24 programs to be used at one time.

If you have more questions about the specs or capabilities of the 500 here is the page at akai that tells you most of them.

What about the other way...loading seqs, pgm & sounds from the 500 to the 2000xl ?

I believe you can only load Wave, programs, and song data to the 2000xl from the 500 check at akai to be sure at the above URL

All I want to know is if the 2000XL can read the SEQ files created on a 500. I will get a 500 to use at work to make sequences and bring home to my XL on my CF card. This will be awesome - please someone let us know

Yes, it can read the SEQ files from the 500.

That's great news! I appreciate your reply and look forward to getting one of these! Nova just hit me back with the price of $699 no mention of shipping costs. Should I jump, or counteroffer them since I have heard of some getting it for $675 and $625 from them. Thanks again for answering my question upright.

Looks like their prices are going up. I'd do what ever I could to get the lower price. The worst the could do is say no.
