Question 1

How do I convert samples for the MPC 2000XL?

Accepted Answer

Drag your audio files into EZMPC and it automatically converts them to 16-bit / 44.1 kHz WAV — the format the MPC 2000XL reads from its SCSI drive or CompactFlash card. You can also export in SND format for faster program loading times.

Question 2

What sample format does the MPC 1000 use?

The MPC 1000 reads 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV files (.wav). EZMPC converts any audio file to this format automatically and also supports MPC-native SND export for even faster program loading.
