How do I hook up pc to mpc 2000

How do I hook up my pc to the mpc? If this is possible can I download sequences to the pc instead of using the floppy?

Is there really a way to do that? , cause i was trying to use my pc for transferring sounds to my mpc2000xl, because i cant get my zip drive to work on my mpc that i had old beat on i made 7 yeras ago and now i have a jaz drive with a scsi, my zip drive i got used to work on the old mpc2000 and you didnt need a scsi switch on the back of the zip drive but i cant find a zip drive with a scsi switch on the back thats why i need to hook my mpc to my pc !!!

Just run the audio outs of the MPC into the line input on the sound card of your PC.

then record the beat into your favorite recording program.

yup. thats it. there's no way for the computer to read your sequences. you have to record your music into the computer just like cap said.
