Yo, if you have your ish saved to your PC's hard drive, just highlight what you want to move, usually the samples themselves, not the folder containing the samples, go to my computer and find "removable hard ware", with the samples you've highlighted, now find "move selected items" hit that and your files will be moved from your pc to the mpc - after that just load each sample in a new prg to its own pad : Should be Good!

on the mpc hit mode and then load and you will see on the bottom of the screen a thing that says usb. hit the f4(?) button underneath it and the removeble drive will pop up on your coputer.

When you entered USB mode on the MPC, a new Drive Letter (E: F: etc. ) will immediately pop up on the PC. That's the MPC flash card, you move stuff to and from there like it was any disk - if you don't have that, you must double-check the connection. (You're not using Windows 98, are you?).
I'll assume it's working and it's called F: in the next bit.

Don't forget the WAV format requirements (44.1k 16-bit mono or stereo only). If you put the WAV files you want in a folder, you can load the whole folder at once on the MPC. Don't save files on the card deeper then 1 directory down (F:\Piano F:\Autoload F:\DrumCrap ).

When you're finished, look for the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon on your Windows system tray (lower right) and safely remove F:. Only then should you disconnect the USB cable and carry on.

It's a mission, right? This is why many of us use an ordinary CF card reader for the PC, I only hook up the USB cable when I need to do a lot of little things to the card and test it halfway.

And read the manual, dudez..! :roll:
