Hello im new to the MPC 5000 n i have purchased a soundpack for the mpc bt i dno how to load em.

i got 2 folders one wiv SND files and the other with WAVs bt ive added em n it wont let me load em but if i jus load a single folder with no sub folders it loads the samples up fine .

How can i add everything in one folder including the sub folders i hope some1 understands me

Folder 1

-----
Sub folder

SND Version and WAV version
---------------------------------------
Sub folder for what ever one both got some structure
----------------------------------------

Then inside them i got like 6 folders
each one got diff things
like a folder for Kicks one for Hats, Snares, Strings.. etc..

So how do i make shure it all loads proper Thanks

i don't see the point in loading all that stuff at once, maybe it's just me...

if i were you i would erase all the mess you have in the 5k (i have a hard time to understand everything you wrote sorry, english is not my first language) and i would make a new folder on your pc with the sound bank you purchased...

in the new folder on the pc you copy the wav file only, and you organize it as you wish... dunno you call it DRUM and you set sub folders for sn bd etc...

you put that in your hard disk by usb, not necessarily in the prime loop folder

every time you start a new project you load one by one the sounds you need (it will be your program one), and as you save the new project the next time you load it you have the drum kit you created

i hope this helps ^^

1 project = all files in the same folder, no subfolders.

iv deleted all the stock sounds and iv tried to reset it the factory way but i still dont have the sounds.

Can anyone tell me how to have everything the way i had it when i took it out the box? (which was yesterday)

you could likely get rid of the folder marked (snd's) all together.. then drag all the wavs into the prime loops folder... then delete the empty wavs folder.

try that... but check first to see if the SND and WAV files are of the same sounds... because they probably are.
