i have a question about saving multiple new programs (new program 1, new program 2, new program 3 etc...) on zip disks.
what's the best way in doing so?
will it mess up the sequences of each program, if they are they are all the same sequence titles (sequence 1, sequence 2, sepuence 3, etc...), with in the different programs.
another question?
what's the best way to format a pc zip disk FAT or FAT 21 (i think it's 21?)?
i've had problems saving and transfering wave or program files from the compuuter to the disk, then using the disk in the mpc.
the mpc couldn't read the wave and program titles.

No, nothing will get messed if you save multiple APS's and ALL in the same folder. I would give them numbers or something so you know which ones go together though cause loading an APS with a different ALL than what was orignially made will piss you off.

Format your either in the PC FAT (not FAT32). That way you can read them in either the PC or 2kxl. Stick to 8.3 filenames.
ex. 12345678.123
ex. scratchm.wav, scratchm.all or scratchm.aps
if not you will always have problems with naming.
