Backup on computer

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!!!

I've seen that a similar thread has been posted about this already. My bad

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.
