What’s wrong with the MPC2000?

One major source of disappointment is the CD-ROM supplied with the MPC2000 — not that it isn’t full of excellent sounds, but each one has to be loaded individually. I was unable to find the program that loads a whole kit, a PGM file, even on the partition entitled Kits.

What is the best way to listen to MPC2000 sounds?

Loading sounds in the MPC2000 format was very quick from both floppy and SCSI devices; once the sound is loaded you can listen to it, then assign it to a pad/MIDI note number or delete it. Loading was so fast that this was almost as good as the ‘audition from disk’ feature that some samplers now have.

Why the Protolab MPC2000 page?

I created the Protolab MPC2000 page in response to Akai’s lackluster customer support. For MPC2000-related links, sounds, tips, tricks, and a user buglist. This is my second MPC. I returned the first one out of frustration with the OS, and Akai’s inability to answer basic questions, or to even acknowledge any problems.
