What format is MPC2000XL?

What format is MPC2000XL?

2006-01-18 by Roman Pirie

I have an Akai CD3000XL. It can load akai, emu and roland discs. I can 
even send it whatever my Mac can convert via MESA. I also use Logic 
Pro's EXS24 which can load any audio file and import akai CDROM's. Can 
I use MPC2000XL format.
I'm suspecting it's just wav files.

Sort of. The .pgm file holds a pad/MIDI note setup, not unlike an .exs file 
It can reference a .snd file - just a sample file for older MPC's  or a 
.wav file.

The MPC format, disk and file, is completely different than the S-series 
sampler format, so EXS with it's native utilities can't load it.

It can be SND files, but the most of the time, Yes,
wav file.
