Mpc PowerCable

OH wow ... I just finally got my MPC 60 for christmas.. i saved the money for a long time now its here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now my question : it is german version but the power supply input isnt for a normal power supply cable like the pcs here has. it is almost the same only the middle pin isnt there in the mpcs input ... other than in my cable. this is how my cable looks.. can I erase the upper hole and put it in so I can test the mpc?
Sorry for my very bad english but I am so happy about the mpc!!!

ah and this is how the bakc of my mpc looks like

Thank you for your answers and merry christmas!

VST?

what do you mean with "vst?"

does that mpc in the picture has got the SCSI upgrade cause of the slot?

Congrats!

So u gotta USA MPC60, but ur in the EU?

First off, DO NOT plug in/turn that beeotch on till ur %100 that it works.

Dunno if dis helps, but when I was in Europe this summer I had my USA laptop plugged into a power strip, which converted everything so it could be plugged into the wall w/correct voltage.

Do u know wut OS ur on?

Btw looks like there is SCSI, but I can't tell from dis $hit browser I'm on.

Oh ok. Ur middle pin is NOT there. yea that's not standard US. VST prob won't be much help unless u need new buttons & $hit. sounds like u need to talk to some Overseas cats who kno wtf they talkin bout.

my 60 has a switch for the voltage...

I've heard other people asking for power cables for the 60 but dunno where they got one from. Anything I needed, VST was able to provide so far. Drop them an email or something...

this is the cable... damn the next two days are holidays so there are no possibilities to get one !!!

Why don't you unscrew the socket and just solder a two wires cable just to test it ? If you have the 220 / 240 switch on the back ( like in the picture ) it's a european version so it's ok . I found my two pin cable on a thrift store . I think the roland JX8P has the same cable type too if someone you know has one .Come on , you can't wait 2 days !!!

I just build a cable now there is power and it turns on... it is software version 2 and I downloaded some samples at rogerlinn design put them on a floppy disc which is 720kb formatted ... but what now ... I am searching for a manual or sth like this

EDIT:
How can I use a normal HD floppy disc? and should there be any sound if i put the floppy in the mpc then turn it on then press a pad?

Please help me and I not really getting started. I didnt even hear any sample while pushing a pad.

Download a manual from here.....

I formatted a DS floppy in my mpc then I put all the content of the zip file from rogerlinn design tr808 samples into the floppy ..-> put it into my mpc and :

How did you put it on the floppy? With your computer? I advise you to read a bit more on this forum since there are solutions already covered.... You can NOT put a formated MPC floppy in your computer, put files on it and then load it in the MPC... computers do not understand MPC format and vice versa...

Seriously tho.... read a bit more up on this forum, I can understand that your totally hyped and want to get busy making beats, but if you even wonder why you load a floppy and no sounds come from the pads you will need to read up more on your new baby.

I read through the forum for a while but I cannot get it to work
when I load the tr808 files which i downloaded vom rogerlinndesign into mpceditor it says

snd not supported mpc file

I can open the disks i formated with my mpc in windows and copy the files from rogerlinndesign onto it but if i put this disk into my mpc (it is a dd disk) it says :

Please help me... i really cannot find anything that helps me in the forum.
