NewBee at the MPC

just want to let you guys know this web site is the Shiznit. My name is MikeVee and I am an electronic producer and was tired of making beats in reason because it sounded so mechanical. I thought shi* what drum machine should I get and I guess being from LA it was most certain that it had to be an MPC. I found a MINT MINT mpc3000LE and bought it and it even came with the original manual. So this is the newbee question what options do I have loading sounds in this thing right now I'm using the floppy drive but it kinda sucks. BTW my platform is a G5 dual 2.0 running Logic 7 and Ableton live and I do have a Midi controller.

zip drives are cheap, but not the most reliable. cf reader would be a better alternative, but harder to find. there are few threads on it with all the info you need.

since im from zimbabwe it was almost certain i was destined to use a bongo drum,

so i cant help you.

the syquest ez135 works well too, more reliable than zip and not as finnicky as card readers can be..
