2000XL & Wav Files?

By allcity67 Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:45 am
I have a bunch of drums on my MacBook in wav form that I want to load on my 2000XL without having to sample each one indivually.
What do you guys suggest is the best way of doing this?

I was going to buy a USB zip drive to xfer to zip disks then load them up on the XL thru my SCSI zip but a few people told me the MPC doesn't recognize regular wav files and you have to convert them to Akai wav? Anyway, if anyone can provide some insight it would be appreciated. Thx

As long as it is an 16bit 44.1kz .wav file then your XL will read it. I highly recommend u go for the card reader though cause zips have movin parts and u know how dat sh*t can be when savin sh*t.
