dynamic filter and other data. This is explained further in Chapter

6: “Creating and Editing Programs”.

MPC60 SET files are replaced by the new Program files.

In the MPC60, all sounds and sound assignments are saved in

one large SET file. In order to change all pad assignments, it

is necessary to load a new SET file. Because of the MPC3000’s

new Program system of sound assignments, SET files have

been replaced by PGM (program) files. A PGM file contains

all assignment information but no sound data. Instead, when

a PGM file is saved, all sounds used by the program are also

saved as individual sound files. This new method allows

different PGM files on the same disk to use the same sound

files, eliminating the problem of saving sound data redundantly

in multiple SET files. However, SET files may be loaded—the

assignments are loaded into a program and the sounds are added

to sound memory.

There is another new save operation called Save All Programs and

All Sounds. This saves a file with the extension APS containing the

data of all 24 programs, followed by a sound file for every sound

currently in memory.

Saving of PGM and APS files is explained further in chapter 9:

“Saving To and Loading From Disk”.

Sounds and sequenced drum notes are now assigned to note

numbers instead of to pad names.

In the MPC60, sounds and sequenced drum notes are assigned to

one of a number of fixed drum pad names (HIHT, SNR1, DR01 etc.)

In the MPC3000, sounds in programs and drum notes in sequences

are assigned instead to one of 64 MIDI note numbers (35-98), as are

each of the 64 pad/bank combinations (A01-D16). The fixed 4

character drum names are no longer used. This new note number

assignment method provides the following advantages over the

MPC60’s pad-assign method:

1. Because pads are assigned to MIDI note numbers inde-

pendently of sound assignments in programs or note

assignments in drum tracks, the pad assignments may be

freely rearranged to personal preference without affecting

sequences or sound assignments.

2. When using the MPC3000 as a sound generator, it is no

longer necessary to use the MPC60’s “Assign incoming

notes to pads” conversion table, which has been removed.

Instead, simply assign the received MIDI note number

directly to a sound.
