To anybody trying to exchange samples between their MPC and CPU, read page 143 of the manual. It will be quite helpful if you are using A WAVE Studio software as i've mentioned before.

Still don't understand how I can use floppies in my MPC and CPU and read WAV's or SND files.

I'll stick to the more conventional method.

To receive a MIDI sample dump, press the SOUNDS key, then type 6 to select the MIDI SAMPLE DUMP option...................

Get the MPC Editor for PC when you upgrade the OS, it supports wav conversion.

Perfect. I've got the MPC Editor from when I owned an MPC-2000XL.
How do I format my disks to read in my computer and the MPC? I know that NTSF can't be read on older machines. FAT was more commonly used. That's has been the major issue. Someone needs to explain this step by step. Maybe provide 2 versions. Win 95-98 and Win 2000-XP.

Can't wait for my upgrade to arrive. I'm afraid my machine is going to blow up when i install it though....after all the drive issues.

I just used MPC formatted disks on Win 98SE, not sure about other OS's, but it should work fine.

"How do I format my disks to read in my computer and the MPC? "

Floppies? Not a problem. Format a coorectly sized (HD, DD) drive for your machine on the MPC and put in the PC to transfer.

Non-floppies and Win9x and variants, format on the MPC and transfer to disk from PC (find NoVolTrack at mpc3000.com befprehand).

Non-floppies and Win NT/2k/XP: there is an easy solution that I use all the time but this info has not been made public yet.
