If u can save the logic sequence as a MIDI file then take that midi file the mpc (floppy , zip etc) and load it. simple.

so, do I need to buy an external floppy drive for the MAC, save the midi file to the floppy and then load into the MPC via the floppy? will that MAC formatted floppy load into the MPC? I only have ZIP, and IDE Hard Drives connected to the MAC now......and a SMF saved to the MAC ZIP will not load in the MPC, unless I'm doing something wrong.... I do have an external ZIP connected to the MPC as well....please... more guidance....(smile)


thanks.....

Thats a point cause them format ting have always been a problem.

I found this website and it said

# Insert the disk.
# Click once on the disk desktop icon.
# Under the Special menu select Erase Disk.
# Select MS-DOS 1.4MB.
# Click Initialize.

then put your logic sequence on that. remember the file type must be .MID or .MIDI not .SMF

and I'm asuming this blank DOS disk will work in the MAC?
