i just hooked my mpc up to my computer for the first time. I am using blue box for the first time. I loaded up all the samples that i have in my computer from reason refills. I have a brand new cf card with nothing on it. I put all the samples i want to each pad so how do i send that to my mpc? I unplugged it the way it says and went and hit the pads but hear nothing. Newbie here so take it easy on me plz. Still trying to figure this crap out. Only drum machines i have worked with b4 this are korg electribes so i'm in deep. TY for the help

you really need to take a hard look at this:
http://www.mpcsounds.com/manuals/MPC1000/MPC1000_E3.zip

but what you need to do is save your program in bluebox onto your cf card and then load it inside your mpc. you can't just make a program in bluebox and not load it in the mpc, which i think is what you're doing.

good luck

save the program file onto your desktop
open the folder of the cf card and drag and drop the program in.

i'm not acting like i'm god. i don't believe in god. i post the manual and often actually get thanked for it.

but in any case i am deeply, sincerely and humbly sorry if i stepped on your toes. hopefully my above advice cleared this up

sincerely
god

Rigtht click your desktop. Create new folder.

When you create your program on Bluebox, go to save all. Save everything in the folder you just made

Connect your mpc with your computer. Drag the folder into the mpc.

There

also man - if you're still using the mpc's USB to put stuff on your cf card i HIGHLY suggest getting one of those multicard readers. it helps SO much, takes a lot less time and allows you to keep your mpc away from how it locks as you are connected in usb.

the card readers are aobut 30 bucks, give or take (most likely take take take). i got one for pretty cheap on ebay.

it's a lot easier this way. peace and good luck.
