Transfer Sequence to PC(need help)

I've been working with my first ever mpc for two weeks now, and finally have mave a soild drum beat that loops perfectly. Now I want to transfer it over to the PC but dosent recognize the type.

I've created a Sequence and saved it to the Flash Card and saved it as the file type SEQ. I then connected my mpc1k to my PC and transfered over the sequence. Next I tried to import the sequence into Sonar2 and it tells me the file type not recognize. Should I have save the sequence as a type MID instead of SEQ? How can I convert it to a WAV type so I can play it? If anyone can help please do, Thanks.

SEQ is a proprietary AKAI file format that Sonar cannot read.. Besides that file is just sequencing info and not the actual samples anyway..

Convert to WAV from SEQ, you can't.
Record your MPCout to PCin and save as wav..

To see if this works, with the Spanish motor of translation?ingles of the altavista... To my I like to record everything, once finished to a pattern with his corresponding tracks and sounds, in the program Acid 4.0. It can that this metodo is a little rudimentary, but to my it works to me well. The bad unico is that there is to record track by track, but is well for complementing the secuenciador of mpc-1000. Also serves this metodo to make backups in hard disk.

I think I understood like 80 percent of that. Cool man, thanks for the translation, let me help you out a bit if that's cool with you Rivesman.... Look above for corrections.. Please understand, I don't mean to disrespect but just to help out. You've read the other post about english and translation I can see.. Good lookin out and cool of you to help everyone to understand what you are saying..

Thanks for the answers fellas really appreciate them. Would I use the USB cable for this or another cable for of the other slots in the back. Im brand new to this.

Theres quite a few way to do this.

You see the "Stereo Outs" or "digital outs" on there? Get some cables that match that.

Heres a couple ways:

1. Stereo Out into a mixer. From the mixer run out into your 'mic' in on your pc soundcard. (this is what I do).
2. Digital out, get some adapters and such, so you can go directly from the digital out into the sound card mic in.
3. Go from the stereo out, into the mic in on your soundcard.

If you want to do it cheap, get a stereo out cord (dual cord) and then get an 1/4 inch adapter that plugs into the dual stereo cord. LIke this: =>- the equal sign being the dual cord, the greater than symbol being the converter, and the minus being the other end of the converter. Then get another converter that takes a 1/4 inch adapter down to a 1/16 inch (i think thats the size of a headphone jack) and then plug it onto the 1/4 adapter. Then you can run it directly into your computer.

Then boot up, Acid 4.0, or Cool Edit 2.0, or Fruity Loops and then record into that program.

Its kind of a Jimi Hindrix way of doing it, but it works.

That hot dirge & effekt, its about to go down now.
Thanks
