i have a zip disk with samples from an mpc 2000 and i need to get them onto a s3000xl. unfortunately i dont have access to the mpc 2000. how can i do this using a zip drive attached to my mac, the s3000xl and cubase. (i couldnt find out if halion supports mpc format)
all help is greatly appreciated. |

Hailon Will read me S3000 Disks programs and all so I would imagine that you shouldn't have a problem.

you naughty boy!
it's not a good idea to post the same question in two forums.  you're lucky lpm is on holiday, he would have roasted you.  as i said, TRANSLATOR! -------------------- one for all and all for one...

i apologise for posting in two forums, but im new around theese here parts and after i posted in the os9 forum i saw the hardware forum which i realised was probably the place i should have gone to first. i promise not to let it happen again.
thanks for the pointer to translator. it looks like it'll do what i want but not yet, and as comedy dictates, i need to get the disk translated by thursday - not my fault, i was asked to help on monday! so it looks like re-sampling the lot! fun fun fun! |

ok, this sounds like an emergency.
 there's a little program called mpc to aif convert that i could email you before thursday, once converted to aif you could use pretty much anything to then convert to s1/3000 format. also, interpreter from gallery software. i've succesfully used this to do exactly what you're trying to do. otherwise, one of two things might work. 1. akai uses a dos format. format a zip as dos, load it into the mac and using resedit or file typer/change file attribute or something similar, manually change the file suffix, get the picture? 2. transferstation or akai's very own mesa might do it! good luck, later... -------------------- one for all and all for one...

cheers, ill have a look at interpreter but i suspect that it will still be a case of resampling cos ive got to leave for work in two hours and my flatmate (who im trying to sort this out for) says the new sampes sound fine and if theyre going to give him four days to do what they should have done two weeks ago then let them suffer - which im prepared to go with as ive got things of my own to get on with (and not cos im lazy!) but if they decide to spring this on him again then ill know what to do.
once again thanks for your help damann. |
