importing samples from mac to mpc 2500

I've just got my mpc 2500 and have tried following the manual but don't seem to be able to import my samples from my mac on to the mpc. No disk appears on the mac when i try to save to the internal memory. I don't know if i need to use a particular type of file (i'm using wav.) and also once i do this how do i assign them so that i can play them back.


PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

have u gone to the load menu, cliked F4 for USB, and then mount....................

is ya usb lead plugged in proper

And note you cannot mount the internal memory...only the CF reader or the harddisk, if present. You can select which one from the USB page.

yeah i've tried it but the disk only appears when the "bonus track" flash crd that came with the mpc is inserted, not if the flash card slot is empty.

Of course not...what would you write to then?

I assume you don't have a harddisk? If so, just load the samples onto your CF card on your Mac, and then stick it into the MPC. If you don't have a card reader, repeat the procedure you already tried with the CF card in the MPC

yeah thanks the file is on the cf now how do u get it to play the samples?

press the buttons and wiggle the sliders.

READ THE MANUAL.............................i'm pretty sure thats the book that comes with it, which tells ya how to work the machine

some people jus dont wanna put in the work

quick fixes are for chumps

NOW you get the RTFM reply.

You were good up until JUST then, lol.

Yeah very funny, but when i go to the program page the loaded sample doesn't appear so now what smart arse

ok divvy nuts

go to your load menu........................select where ur loading from................find the sounds......................and hit DO IT...................wen it says assign to pad say NO

then go mode>>>>>>program and assign ur newly LOADED sample to a pad.....................

POW POW

fukin hell man ur dumb

seriously tho, read the manual u'll learn how to use the fukin fing, it aint like a TOMY keyboard, its a complex machine, and the only way u'll figure these fings out is by reading or trial and error........................

no joy
didn't u read that last message i,ve done that just like the manual said but my sample isn't in the pgrm menu and the faffin manual doesn't say **** about what to do if that happens, which is why i'm on this forum

ok

wen ya go to the load screen....................do u see your samples there?

if so, do they play wen ya press play

if ya gettin sound there............then they are obviously on ya machine..........

wen ya load em up from the load screen and it says assign to pad, try assigning em there.....................then press main and press the pad u've jus assigned ya sound too

does it play now?

if ya not sounds like ya machines Brok

i've got the file loaded pressed do it but then i can't find the file anywhere
all the samples that came free with the card load up but not the one i put on any ideas?

load sample
go in to program mode
press pad A
then move the jog wheel (the jog wheel should be high-lighting the top left field)


do you see the samples scrolling thru at the top of the screen?

no? yes? or new thread?
