Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi there,

Question.
If I want to save my sampled sounds on a computer through an
USB zip drive, in which format should I save (or sample) the samples on the MPC 2000XL, as a WAV files? I want to make a backup of all my files.

Secondly, should I format the zip disk on the computer before I'm able to transfer the mpc files to my computer?

Muchas gracias in advance!!!

Your pc will not be able to read an MPC-formatted disk. Format your disk on your pc (FAT) and copy your .wav files to the disk.

When you format a zip disk on the computer, the available filesystems are NTFS, FAT12, and FAT. You must format your zip disk with filesystem FAT.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Use a 100MB zip disk that has NOT been formatted by your sampler.
2. With the zip disk in your zip drive connected to your computer, format the disk
- on the Format Windows Screen, select FAT in filesystem
3. Now go ahead and copy (drag and drop) your .wav files on the newly FAT-formatted zip disk.
4. Insert disk into MPC2000XL internal zip drive and ALL .wav files will appear and be available for loading.

That's it!

Hope this information helps you.
