Load sound from PC to MPC directly

Whatsup guys,

just seen this video and i noticed something interesting @1.48 seconds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpZ8cuiYa7E

The producer (focus) tells the sound engineer that he needs a sticky hi-hat, the engineer goes to his PC and browses for a sound and when Focus presses the pad the sound is immediately loaded into his MPC on the pad.

How the hell did they do this :p would be freaking awesome to be able to browse your sounds on the PC and load them directly into your MPC.

Im interested to hear what you guys have to say about this

all mpc models since the 1000/500/2500 come with usb. you can drag and drop files between computer and mpc.

What about the older models, becuase the guy in the video uses a 3000 model

the sound was never loaded into the mpc, it wad triggerred via midi from the mpc to the pc

EVEN BETTER :p How did they set that up?

that all depends on the soundcard and software they were using

Damn, I just started to learn bass, and every time I see someone play like Focus was playing on that video I just want to give up.

@Cozy: yeah lol, Focus is an amazing bass player his basslines always impress me

You mean that he (for example) loaded up 'Battery' or some other VST/AU in his DAW and controls it with his MPC? (He basically uses his MPC as a MIDI-controller?)

Wouldn't say so, the 3K has an unique gritty sound i don't see why anyone would want to do that.

I think there is some different technique to this...

Hmm i really can't visualize it, could you clarify that with an example? Excuse my ignorance

Okay, that's understandable. But let's say i want to setup the same thing, how could i achieve this?
