Akai mpc3000 Manuel D’Utilisation

This function allows the loading of sample files from disks formatted
and saved on Akai S1000- or S3000-series samplers. Only sample
files may be loaded—no program files or other file types may be
loaded. Saving to S1000/S3000 disks is not supported.

To load a sample file from a S1000/S3000 disk, insert the disk in the
drive and select option 8 from the DISK key menu. The following
screen will appear:

===== Load S1000/3000 Sample Files =====
File:Ambient_snar            Size:   44K
                        Free(snd): 1916K

(Only sample files are shown.)

========================================
<Load>

The operation of this screen is similar to the main

Load,erase,rename

 screen, except that only S1000/S3000

disks may be loaded. Either mono or stereo samples may be loaded.
To load stereo samples, see the following section, “Loading stereo
S1000/S3000 samples.” The fields and soft key are:

• The 

File

 field:

This field is used to select the disk file to be loaded, erased, or
renamed. Use the Data Entry Control to select from an alphabetical
list of the files on the current disk. Only sample files may be se-
lected in this field—no other files on the disk can be selected in this
field. S1000/S3000 file names are up to 12 characters long.

• The 

Size

 field:

This field shows the size (in kilobytes) of the selected file. It is for
display only and cannot be edited.

• The 

Free(snd)

 field:

This field shows the amount of available sound memory. By compar-
ing the file size to the available memory, you will be able to see if
there is enough space available to load the selected file. This field is
for display only and cannot be edited.

• The 

<Load>

 soft key:

Pressing this soft key loads the selected file and converts it to an
MPC3000 sound.
