MPC 500, not able to save sequences

I think part of these guys' problem is that you can save a sequence and play it on the computer, but it saves a .smf file (standard midi file) and that only contains midi note info, not audio. Some computers will have Quicktime associated with .smf files, so it makes people think they can open it. But what they get isn't what they expect:

These guys don't realise that MIDI is NOT AUDIO

Right, neither are the data files that the MPC creates. The only things that are audio on the MPC are the 16/44.1 .wav files.

You guys should really read that link that Pastor put up. It's a great start, along with the manual...
