Does anyone know where I can get some good sounds for my MPC60? I would like to buy some of the sound sets that the MPC-Tutor offers but there do not seem to be any that are in MPC 60 format or just plan old audio.

You can use the MPC editor to convert wavs to mpc 3000 format which the 3.10 OS can convert to 60 format.

I would suggest just sampling vinyl and other shit with it directly.

Thats a no go I keep my PC out of the music making loop period.It has caused to many head aches in the past.I do sample from vinyl alot but trying to find single shot sounds that work is too time consuming. I would rather concentrate on making music than running one kick sound through the mud and every piece of hardware known to man just to get a useable sound.When I sample I sample melodies ,chords,vocals etc...They do not require near the treatment and attention that drum sounds do.I am just trying to build a pallete of drum sounds that I can use as the base for everything else.I may end up just buying a couple of sample CD's that contain what I am looking for I just figured that if I could find drum sounds in MPC 60 format all ready to go and in programs it would speed things up seeing as how everybody and there mom sells sounds for the MPC 2000/xl,4000 etc...

Go to www.synthzone.com
Look at the Akai pages.
There may be some stuff for you there.

If that's not cool, holler at me.
I can probably hook you up.

Are you using a Zip drive? ....or floppy?

Peace.
