converting wav files to mpc format?

i know this is a basic question but i'm trying to get drum sounds from a cd on my computer onto some floppys so i can load them into my 60. i've tried a bunch of ways and none of them work. do i need to convert them? not sure exactly why this process has become so difficult.

its not so complex. do a search for mpc editor and use that.

I have used this one (pc only) and a slightly different one (mac only), and they work fine.

well worth the price of the software.

how do i then convert them in mpc editor. because every time i put them on floppy disk in that program they then don't work on the mpc. how do i exactly transfer the files? sorry i know it's easy but somehow i can't figure it out.

When you are doing the MPC Editor thing please explain every step you are taking, from beginning to finish. Maybe we can help you.

How did you format the floppy? What machine/gear did you format it on?
What are you doing in MPC Editor when you save, what are you clicking on to make it save to the floppy or whatever?

MPC Editor is a great program, but if you do not have the 3.10 O.S upgrade on your MPC 60 you will not be able to transfer files from your computer to your MPC. The only way to do it is to connect the audio input from your MPC 60 to an output on your computer and utilize the sampling function on your MPC. now if you do have the 3.10 upgrade and you are still having issues with converting files in MPC Editor please give the step by step of what you are doing in the program and I'm sure someone will know the answer.

Make sure that you are not putting a folder on the floppy - take the snd and pgm files out of the folder and then onto the disk...

i've tried dragging the sounds from the cd and then dropping them into the floppy drive folder. but i'm guessing that won't work cuz it bypasses the mpc editor step and doesn't convert it. or i've also tried saving the programs that i made in mpc editor to the floppy drive and then when i try and load them on the mpc they won't. does it matter whether i format the disk on the computer or the mpc? i think i've tried both ways.

You should really describe wht you doing, step-by-step. You should describe what format and type of disks you are using as part of each of the processes you have tried.

So far you are rambling and we cannot make any sense out if it.

i wrote this a while back.. maybe it can shed some light...

Wow weeee , ok heres what the verdict is.
i took the mpc 4000 and rigged it to my syquest 230 drive (which i use to store to my mpc 60 stuff ), since the 4000 doesnt use regular scsi it uses that lil scsi 2 crap i had to rig it in a chain with some old computer crap i found. the 4000 found the drive, but couldnt load the sounds. dif f format like u guys said.

Well i connected the syquest to my mac and wala it showed up , but only in OS X, OS 9 wasnt finding the drive. I dropped the files into my audio HD on my mac, nad burned to cd.
I took the old snd. format files from my mpc 60 ( CD I burned )and batched them to awave and converted the old snd. files to a newer snd. format.

hooked my mpc4k to the PC and in aksys. droped them into my HD.. whew what a hastle... but i got it dont for the most part. thing is now...
Another prob, since i have the syquest cartridge partitioned into almost 8 partitions ( letters A thru H ) there are files in the syquest i cant get access to since my mac only reads the first partition.

So now i have to go to the mpc 60 load each partition and sounds then swap disks to get them on the a diff disk with one partition.... i guess its well worth it since i have so much crap on the disks but .. man what a frikken hastle.. thanks again for the help. now once I have everyhting on my mpc4k i'll have to burn the backup of the HD to cd, im sure that will be just as interesting.... maybe ill do that on my mac or pc... just need to get the correct format.. i heard the mac is a lil easier.....
