Load Entire Volumes From S1000/3000 CDs

hi guyz,
i am a newbie on the MPC's , i just got a 2000XL but i have experience from using the S series.
I ve done a quick search in the forum but i could not find any useful info about my problem.
I want to load entire volumes from my S1000/3000 cds.
Is this possible?
all i can manage is to load samples from the volume one by one.
i am using OS 1.14
do i need to convert my S1000/3000 cds to a mpc format so that loading volumes could be possible?
i have many drumkits in S1000/3000 format and importing samples one by one to the mpc is out of the question. it will take ages!
any help would be very much appreciated.
thanx in advance

In an MPC2000XL .... NO !

I think from memory that the MPC2000XL user manual states this also.

Depending on what computer you're using then yes, converting of the S-SERIES volumes would be a preferable way to go about that which you're trying to achieve.

As an example on the PC.

I use AWAVE STUDIO and perform the conversion to MPC format from there.

Convert on a computer first if time is an issue.

Hey Rohan,
thanx for helpin me out bro;)
i thought that the mpc was 100 % compatible with legacy akai cd's. Tough luck!
the users manual is not very helpful with this
i guess that this means that i have to convert 300+ jungle breaks into mpc format.
thanx for your help ,i really appreciate it.
