transfering beats and sounds to logic

maybe a stupid question...

but what would be the neatest way transfering sequences and sounds from the mpc1000 to logic, i.e. exporting what I have done on the mpc for continuing work in logic 8 (adding synths, arraninging). with at least hassle as possible

do a search, there is plenty of info on this. you have two options -
1/ play the tracks on your mpc and record them into logic. you can use either the audio in/outs or the digital in/outs. if you want to use the audio in/outs you'll need a soundcard/audio interface. if you have a mac it come with digital audio in/outs.
2/ resample each track. drag and drop from mpc to computer using USB.

place a one bar section with sharp snares or claps at the beginning of each track (you can use the count in function or add one bar of snares using song mode) so you can align all your tracks after getting them into logic. otherwise, you'll have to synch mpc and logic.

option 2 is dead easy and only requires a USB cable.

The 1k can convert song to .wav ???

Thanks for great advices . I think the second options is what I'm looking for. Sounds as easy way for transfering the beats and continue work. When it's to many steps involved I tend to loose inspiration, so this sounds as the right way for me.
thanks!

the 1k doesn't use the AKAI sample format. it plays wavs and resamples as wavs.

U can convert song to sample .WAV with JJ OS2 or OS2XL (http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/chart.htm)

If you have a soundcard, you don't need to resample your mpc tracks to get them into your DAW. (For how to resample, see the manual, it describes it better than i can.)

You can record into your DAW using the soundcard.
