i need to try it out cus i swear i managed to get akai programs to work in there post jj os or emu im not sure ill try today an post back

safe though i could have just been smoking to hard one day a while back!!

i know i downloaded some programs ages ago when the 1000 first came out an they were for the 2000xl or another older mpc an they wouldent work on the 1000 cus its wav only...but i dint know i swear i loaded one up a while back an it worked

it can now use .SND files - i think this was post JJ but i ent sure..

got a feeling people must have new that but been keeping it quiet surely haha 8) i noticed it a while back but thought it must have been common knowledge..a lot of people have checked this thread out already so obviously not

the advantage is they are tiny in size compared to wav..

for example i got a program here with 47 differnt hits (all drums an precussion etc) and the the combined size of the lot of them is less that 1.4MB

There's only neglibable difference in size between SND and WAV - SND files are very slightly smaller.

Just had a quick look on a samplepack of ours with 192 drum hits

WAV - 3863 bytes (3.68MB)
SND - 3835 bytes (3.65MB)

So hardly any difference at all, just 28k.

cool, maybee its just the program i have here thats small then...

seems like it would make sense though being as size would have been more of an issue back then

has this been mentioned before then - i have been searching an i cant fid where anyones said they have used this file type on the 1000
