MPC4000 AKASYS FOLDER MANAGEMENT QUESTION

Hey Guys,

I have hell of a lot of unorganized wav files on my 4k hard drive. How would I be able to create folders and organize my samples? Do I need to use akasys? I'm using a mac? Someone let me know asap

anyone?

you can use aksys. You can create your folder structure on the mac first, and save your waves from the mac to your desired folders, then upload the entire folder structure to the mac.

You can move the waves around on the hard drive with aksys as simple as you can on the computer, unless you load them into memory then save them to your newly created folders.

so, if you want to do it in aksys, just create your folders, load the samples into memory, then drag them into the folders, but you won't be able to move folders around, you have to save them to the mac first.

I like creating my folder structure on the computer then dragging everything to the mpc.

I've created my folder structure of all my samples and have moved them over to the 4000. The issue I'm having now is when I create programs in aks.sys using samples from the different folders, when I save the program (without saving samples), when I try to reload the program I created, the MPC can't find the associated samples. Any ideas on this one?

Thanks

Save programs with samples.

Save programs with samples.

I tried that but is just saves the samples to the root directory of the hard drive, not back to the original folders where I have the sounds stored. I've got my sounds categorized by folders. How can I save a program and still keep the subfolders intact?

Bump. I'm trying to figure out how to save programs and associated samples from memory back the MPC's hard drive so that the the samples that are from different categorized folders can be saved and associated back to the categorized folders. I have organized all my samples in folders like snares, kicks, loops, etc.... What I want to be able to do is preserve that folder structure so that when I want to create a drumkit. I just move what I need from the various folders into a program in memory. Then when I'm ready to save, I would just save the program to lets say the root of the HD drive of the MPC, but the associated samples would remain in their categorized folders. Please tell me if this is possible. Then, when I want to use that program again, I just recall the program to memory and it pulls in all the associated samples from the different categorized folders. Please tell me there's a way I can do this. I have to believe it is...
