So i got rid of my MPC-2000 and got a MPC-1000. I was told i can save the files from the MPC2000 and transfer them over to the 1000. When i try to load my .ALL SEQUENCES from the mpc1000 i get WRONG FILE. Is there anything i can do to the file to get it to work on the MPC. These are all my songs 2 years worth and i am worried. PLEASE HELP

yo i saw your posting from 2007. i have a mpc1000 too where i am experiencing the same thing. i'm sure by now you were able to solve the problem.
please share the solutions. its such an inconvenience loading trying to remember what samples are in what problems and loading them individually.

hi.

to the original poster - i dont have an mpc 2000 so ive never had to deal with what you have to.

i found this:

File extension PGM description:
16 bits mono sound format.

Note:
The MPC-1000, the MPC-2000, the MPC-2000XL and the MPC-3000 all use different program formats although they all have the same .PGM extension. Actually the MPC-2000 and MPC-2000XL use the same PGM file format, but the latter (like the MPC-1000) wants samples in .WAV format, while the former wants them in .SND format (like the MPC-3000).

if the above information is true then you may have to find some third party file converter (there appears to be some software being sold on that link - surely theres a freeware out there!).


to el dawgs - are you trying to bring in files from a 2000 or are you getting that error when importing samples from your computer? remember they should be 16 bit 44100 wav otherwise the 1000 cant read them (= Wrong file).
