cables for the mpc1000

hi there.

i've already used the search function but had difficulty finding an answer.

i'm in the uk and have just bought the awesome blue box.

i require a 1/4 inch phone x 2 unbalanced cable so i can hook it up to my amp (my stereo system's aux) and the usb cable to connect to my laptop.

i can't seem to find a website selling them. there's so many different types of usb connectors its hard knowing whats the one i need. (yeh, i referred to the manual).

thanks for your help,
tee.

can anyone help then? it doesnt seem like a standard usb cable would fit

I use a standard usb cable with no problem, I dont know of any other kind of usb cable.

theres regular usb and theres mini usb cables u need the regular which are sold everywhere u can even get them on ebay for like a $1 as far as the 1/4 in to rca u can find those on any site selling music equipment i bought mine on americanmusicalsupply.com

At the lowest possible last resort after trying best buy ,circuit city ,guitar center try radio shack.

the thing is, the usb slot at the back of the mpc isn't a standard usb slot which any of my other usb cables fits into.

this is a totally standard USB slot like you would use for a printer or scanner, etc. Just go to Dixons or somewhere like that and pick one up for £1. It should be flat and rectangular at one end (PC end) and a sort of square with two corners chopped off at the other end (MPC end).

To be honest you should just get a CF card reader. It makes working a lot quicker. they are about £10.

agree with you. so many people complain of this usb connection.

Tee -> i recall answering one of your threads about the speed of the usb link where I posted a link to the reader i baught on ebay for a fiver or so.
i guess you must really want to avoid a card reader

ive ordered a card reader but it's taking a while to come in the post.

i was getting confused after looking at my digital camera's usb cable, which was a mini plug.
