aight...I been using my S2000 with my 2000xl's. I just copped a mpc3000 but its not here yet. Will the 3000 be able to read info from the S2000? I went the the akai website and it said its compatible with the S1000 and S3000. Anybody know????

The MPC3000 will mount SCSI drives and floppy disks created by S1000/S3000/S01 type samplers.

The S2000 uses the disk format and file system layout that it's older, bigger and tiny brothers work with.

NOTE: S5000/S6000/Z4/Z8 are NOT part of this family where the file and disk system compatibility is concerned.

Compatible S series Programs are not loaded.

The individual samples from a compatible S series program CAN be loaded though.

Once loaded the individual samples can be assigned to a PAD within the MPC3000.

Download the MPC3000 manual from www.akaipro.com and familiarise yourself with the process.
