I had a similar problem with my Sidstation. I just couldn't get the 
Ninja patches to load. I tried it from multiple programs in my PC. 
Eventually I couldn't even get the standard patches to load and the 
screen would just flicker when I turned it on. I got it fixed by 
reloading the OS (Using the OS upgrade wizard) about 6 times. After 
the OS was working again, I used the MIDI file to load the Ninja 
patches with no problem. Haven't had a problem since. So I'd say, try 
to get it working with a PC or MAC first to make sure it's not a 
problem with your Sidstation, then try to get the MPC thing going.
