You need a common form of storage between the computer and the MPC. Floppy, CF, Zip, CD ROM.... Save the sounds as .wav files and they should be transferable between the two. I believe there's more specifics concerning the .wav file but I dont know what they are.

You'll need two Zip drives: a USB zip drive (connects to your computer) and a SCSI Zip drive (connects to your MPC).

An alternate solution is to use card reader drives: a SCSI or ATAPI card reader drive for your MPC and a USB card reader to connect to your computer.

Zip drives will most likely be cheaper but card readers are a better investment for the long run, as they are a much more reliable storage media.

Everyone needs to stop spoonfeeding this person.

Look at his previous posts for some background if you like.

It's quite funny at first georgie but after a few locked threads its somewhat predictable.

Go and work some stuff out by yourself, you need to do it.

No need to start new threads for everything, the information is here already if you'd care to look for it.

And please, do yourself a favour and stop writing in CAPS.
