Just to set the record straight......PGM files do work in 1000 from a 2000XL
What does not work is .APS files
APS and ALL files are exclusive to the model they are created on.
Unfortunately due to every attempt made i have not been able to get someone to create a program to convert them, but I have found a work around.
1. On the MPC2000XL you have to save as PGM not APS and as WAV. (Yes the XL can save as WAV!!!)
2. Save each sequence as MIDI not the whole thing as an ALL file.
3. Make sure before hand if transfering to pc, (via zip or floppy) that each name of sound is WAV and the names are no more than 8 Characters long. This goes for MIDI names and PGM names too.
Once u have done this u can transfer to the 1000 and load them up.
If u read the website or the manual it would have told you what was compatible and what was not.
No there is no other way to do it so dont ask, trust me I have been doing this for a long time. This is also what stopped me buying a 1000 before hand cause of backward compatibilty issues. I hate AKAI for it.
