I connected the MPC 1000 to my IMac G.5. I'm not sure if what program I need to use to listen to the .pgm files. I plays the .wav files fine. I need help. thanks

PGM is Akai MPC ONLY. No computer program can PLAY it.
Listening to it will have to be done on the MPC.

Thanks. So, how would I convert those files to .wav (or what other file type is there).

PGM's are not music samples at all so you can't play them.
They are settings and parameters files.

There's no converting to be done. Sorry again.

Thanks again. I know this probably basic, but I want to be able to listen to my .seq file. How do convert this to .wav and then transfer it to my Imac?

U need to record the AUDIO....This is what plays not the PGM...
The Seq is the make of instructions recorded for instant playback...

To playback your songs independent of your MPC, you need to bounce (Record) the audio (Sound) into your Imac....

Involves Connecting outputs of Mixer/Mpc to inputs of Imac/soundcard...You'l need suitable software to complete the task effectivly
