Akai MPC2000 and Sidstation (again !)

2001-09-11 by evilteenagetwin@hotmail.com

I have tried loading the factory sounds into my Sidstation from an 
Akai MPC2000, but can't get it to work.
I have downloaded the factory, Klaus and Ninja patch collections as 
MIDI files, and loaded them into the MPC from floppy with no 
problems, but when I play them it has no effect.

Can anyone help ? I have checked that the MPC is pointing at the 
correct MIDI channel for the Sid etc.

Is it possible that the files are corrupt ? I can't see any data in 
them using the MPC's STEP edit (not even any sysex). I have tried 
playng back the sequences at the slowest possible speed (30BPM), but 
still nothing. (I also tried the sysex files from the Elektron 
website, but the MPC doesn't load .SYX files).

Please help ! I got my Sid a couple of weeks ago, with the memory 
wiped and would like to see what it is capable of !

Thanks in advance - ETT
