Floppy??

Ive tried and tried to save and load sequences i do from sampling..

But every time i try to Load it never plays anything.
Am i missing something.. I read the manual and i am doing everything it says to do... Might there be something wrong with my floppy??

you have to save the program with your sounds and stuff. and floppies just wont do it for you. they dont hold enough

thanks guys! I found out a way to do it...

Read if you care:

My problem was that i didnt have a cable that connected my COMPUTER pc to my Zip drive.

So for 5$ i bought an internal Floppy Drive since i had dozens of new floppys.

Considering my MPC already had the floppy drive AND an external zip drive connected, i tried something.

I had sounds that i got from a friend on a CD and dowloaded them to my PC and then burned a few sounds to a floppy disk with my new flopy drive than inserted the FLOPPY into the MPC and loaded the sounds one by one and assigned them to pads. Then once i had my 4 banks full of sounds i went ahead and SAVED! Not to the FLOPPY, but to my ZIP drive! And now i repeat the same steps once in a while.. But i think A floppy holds more than enough sounds for a great sequence..

I have firewire on my PC, so when i finish a sequence i can use my Presonus 8 input with my 8 quarter inch snake from my MPC to my Presonus through firewire to my computer to my CUBASE than finalize and wave file it and burn it to cd OR send it to my itunes and then sent to my IPOD!!


Wow, thanks guys! I need to make more music! Sweet!.. - carlos

Floppies don't hold as much as zips though obviously.You might want to look into getting a parallel zip for your p.c to make this process a little less painful.This way you can just load a bunch of sounds onto zip and be able to access them in large amounts.Because by the time you're done loading all those sounds from floppy you could have a zip full of sounds ready for use.I know the scsi zip will be full sooner or later but why kill yourself with all that work and wasting time?
