i got some disks for my mpc today, the problem is they're hard disk and not zip and i have an internal zip drive wit my mpc, i tried using the disk in my computer and it won't open any of the sound files, how do i get these sounds to my mpc?????
 
i dont have akai disks, but cd's and zip's are formated with a unique akai format. There are programs for reading akai cd's at a pc. maybe they also work on floppies...
 
would you know a place to get this program........ if i got this program, what do i do after that, burn the sound files then sample them?????????? i'd like to use these disk directly with my akai. When i got the mpc, a sound library disk came with it that works with my zip drive, and it's got a ton of sounds plus programs that are disks that akai sells, i wonder that the deal with that is???????????
 
search for 'AKAIdisk' on the net. There are also other similar programs round there.
 
I'M ALL LOST

HOW DO SAVE FILES IF I HAVE AN INTERNAL ZIP DRIVE WITH MY MPC???? DO I GET AN EXTERNAL ZIP DRIVE TO TRANSFER FILES TO COMPUTER???? WOULD THESE BE WAV FILES???? ANYONE KNOW???
 
oki the (hopefully) full explaination:

1.) Use AKAIdisk or simmilar program to copy your programs from your floppy to your harddisk

2.) You have to transfer these data from your PC to your MPC. This can be done by:

a) Saving your data to ZIP with AKAIdisk (if you have a ZIP on your PC)

b) Reading your program from your PC's hdd if you have a SCSI system

c) Transfere your program via MIDI-dump. This is the slowest way but DEFINITELY works.
 
what's the best way to get sounds if i have an internal zip....... do they sell zip disks with sounds???? am i gonna have to sample these sounds or can they be loaded????? does the mpc have internal memory?? how do i use it????
 
seems like you got a Ferrari and drove an old Toyota with automatic gear till now :D

But once the first hill has been taken the mist gets clearer, so keep on learning...

does the mpc have internal memory??

Yesss, the internal memory is the origin of all sound u can hear. an mpc has a view MB internal ram in the standard configuration (depending on the model)
am i gonna have to sample these sounds or can they be loaded?????
Click to expand...
The sounds on your zip drive have to be loaded into your internal memory. Normaly this step is transparent for u, this meens u dont have to matter if programm 7 has been loaded to memory or not - the mpc loads it if it isn't currently in memory and there is space left.
how do i use it????

HMMMPFFFF "rtfm" (read the f**ckn manual). Okay i simply dont know all the details of an mpc since i only use an Akai 3200 Sampler, who has the same disks, the same cd's and the same zips.

But maybe there is a newbie lesson for mpc somewhere on the net. There is one person who definitely knows where u have to search =>
Massa SPINSTERWUN pleeeeeaaaase answere his questions....
 
DAG HIGH HORSE........... you obviously ain't got anything else to do.... i know how to load and play shit and i can read the sh*t manual that comes with it, i was asking about saving shit without using zip or floppy's.... i guess i'll have to figure the ish out like i done this far........ fag tickler
