MPC 3000 Original Stock Sounds(Question?)

Hi does anyone have or know how to get the original mpc 3000 sounds that came on 4 floppy disks in '94 & '00(LE) "Standard/Power/Funk/Percussion" Disks/Sounds???? I've been searching FOREVER & my old 2000XL came w/a CD rom of sounds(60/3000/2000xl) BUT it only contained 90 sounds from the 3000, not all of them. My Favorite Producers only used the 3000 for drums/seq(noting else), & I can hear the same 3000 stock drums w/consistancy on many hit records from the past in R&B & hip hop (windchimes/bell trees/open & closed triangles/water drop FX/etc....). I want those sounds!!! from those 90 sounds on the 2kxl cd rom (3000 sounds) I hear a few familiar sample perc sounds. Someone PLZ Help!!!! I've been searching for 5+ yrs!!!

Thanks

tiny amount of $ = MPC3000 - 4 Disks - 97 samples

if your not trying to donate 2 bucks for that huge archive of drums, im sure you can find a giagantic pack for "free" somewhere and select just the MPC3000 folder only

Thx, but are u sure that it's the sounds that I'm looking for? Like I said above, I have the CD rom from the 2000xl that contains "90" of the 3000's sounds already. I'm not sure how many sounds/kits came on the 3000's floppy disks. Thanks for this link tho, I came across it a few hrs ago

I'm pretty sure it's all the sounds. I don't think there are a crapload just 4 disks with 4 kits. Why are you so sure there are more than 90 or so sounds?

I was just doing the math (I guess) 16 pads x 4 pad banks = 64 possible sounds/ 64 possible sounds x 4 disks = 256 possible sounds. I could be wrong, b/c I wasn't around in that mid 90's era as far as production goes, nor do I know anyone w/an actual 3000.

who ever said a disk held 64 sounds?
sound length is variable.
disk capacity is static.

Yeah I'm surprised they fit as many as they did then, let alone 64.. I think 96-97 is it

All of the stock sounds for the MPC3000 are on the MPC2000XL disc that you already have.

That's for all of u guys input/feedback, maybe u can help me get some of these sounds then....mainly a few percussion.

Here are some examples below that I'm talking about

(Listen 2 the intro "the belltree & windchime") all 3000 users from da 90's use that. I don't have those in my arsenal.

*Thanks*

That is my 4 disk set in the photo above, I can get together a list of files on them if it is of any use to you.

First off your looking for a chime tree sample.

Theres only 1 chime tree sample out of all four disks, and it goes Low to High. The sample your playing goes high to low, and its slightly different. I think its from a different kit - not with the stock MPC3000 disks. The chime tree sample your after sounds like a sample included with the Roland SPD-20. But if not that exact one theres probably infinite versions of a chime tree on the net for you to search through.

There is no water drop in any of the kits. But again a very generic sample you could find easily on its own.

It seems to be only 101 sound files, in total, on the 4 disks.

OK thanks to all of you guys for all of your input!
