Hi there

Ive been a hardcore MPC fan, and ive had from the 2000 XL, 2500, 1000 and 5000,

Now i bought an MPC Live II - it has a lot of potential i can feel, but i like to keep things simpel, or at least as simpel as possible.

Whats the most simpel way to transfer my drum-sampels from my Macbook to my Live II?

Is there a way where it shows up like a normal disk like you could with the old ones? Or is it through some standalone program on my Macbook?

I like the new features these new ones got, but when it comes to stuff like samplelibraries etc., I would like to keep it as simple as possible

- Thank you very very much!

- Wohlk

Install another Internal Drive in the MPC Live. Connect the Live to your Macbook in Controller Mode. Your Mac should be able to recognize the Internal Drive in your MPC Live....

Although Im not an expert with Macs

I saw a post somewhere here with a great tip for managing drum samples. It was something of the sort of putting all your kicks in 1 wav file. Then you assign slices and create a program. That way you could load the program and then just stroll through your slices rapidly. I've been meaning to try this when I have time.
