what format are the files you're loading? are they .pgm files?

im not too sure how to resolve the issue, but can you just take the wavs and manually load them onto the pads yourself?

Hmmmm, try loading all the wav files first and THEN load the pgm without loading the sounds (so it wont replace what has been loaded already).

You shoule be fine.

I get the same message sometimes when I go from the computer to my mpc. The problem is the format of the disk, or it was it my case. The way to solve it is to format using fat/fat16 on a pc. Then put your pgm's and wav's on the disk and you should be set.

Maybe disc format. Maybe they are not 16khz/44bit wav files (not all wav files are the same). Maybe the PGM is from a higher model mpc.

Maybe he is havin the issue I was - if he is using a classic and not an XL that is.

PGMs on a classic can't load wav files, they need .snd format files.

MPC Editor ftw. Even if you aren't using a classic, it may be worth it to load the pgms in MPC Editor and then export them to disk and try again.
