Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

I just started using V3 and I can't get my 2kxl to load up the PGM file correctly. All the wav's are on the cd but when I try to load the PGM it doesn't load the wav's to the pads I assigned them to. I am able to load the individual wav's from the cd and assign them to pads on the MPC but that defeats the whole purpose of the editor. Anybody know?

Thanks

What format is the CD?
Example wav filename? Long?

Are you planning any upgrades anytime soon

Hmm, the format is Mode 1, ISO 9660, Joliet. I used nero 6 to burn the disc. It's always worked in the past. The wav's are "DBBE6E~1" for example.

What sort of upgrades are you talking about 4dahaterz?

?

just some better changes in the software....hmm... i guess for instance to show any bugs that may were in the software, like the issues u have had, i have had recently also... such as, i would make a program, Re open it again in the editor, but will not come up in the MPC... and i have been using it for close to over a year now, and havent had that problem until about a week ago

but i guess updates to further resemble the MPC, such as when the memory would be filled up wit samples in the MPC, it would reflect in the editor as u are making the program, and etc....

if not, its cool... i understand u cant always have a cake and eat it too, meaning everything isnt always going to be the way u want it

@ slider
have the pgm and wavs all in the same folder when loading.

the wavefile names should not be renamed once you make the pgm for
them cause when loading the 2kxl will look in that same folder for those same names.

also "What format is the CD? Example wav filename? Long?"
Slider, you need to answer the above question too.

I have found the safest way to do a CD is to just use a ZIP disk and burn the ZIP to the CD.
Everything else gives you really inconsistent returns from XP, the classic can't find file.
Means you only get 100mb of the CD but it's a 100mb that work and CDR's are cheap.
