Loading and Playing Sounds and Programs

All sounds and programs are held in RAM memory and are therefore lost

whenever the power is turned off. In order to play any sounds after

turning the power on, you must load them in from disk. The procedure for

loading files from disk is described in the “Saving To and Loading From

Disk” chapter of this manual, but to get you started quickly, here’s how to

load sounds from disk.

COMMENT: Unlike version 2 software, SET files are no longer

used in the MPC60. The new PROGRAM file format is used

instead. However, your SET files may be loaded into version 3

software, and are automatically converted into the new

PROGRAM format.

To load a version 2 SET or ST1 file:

1. Place a disk containing a version 2 SET or ST1 file in the disk drive.

2. Press the DISK key, then 7.

3. When the “Load/Erase/Rename Files” screen appears, rotate the

DATA ENTRY control until the File field contains a file name ending with

the extension “.SET” or “.ST1”, then press Soft Key 1.

4. A screen will appear asking you if you want to load the entire file or

one sound. Press 1 to load the entire file.

5. Additional question screens will be presented. If confused, simply

press Soft Key 1 in response to each screen until the file starts loading.

When finished, your version 3 MPC60 will contain sounds. Press MAIN

SCREEN to return to the main Play/Record screen.

To load a version 3 Program or All Programs file:

1. Place a disk containing a Program file or an All Programs file in the

disk drive.

2. Press the DISK key, then 7.

3. When the “Load/Erase/Rename Files” screen appears, rotate the

DATA ENTRY control until the File field contains a file name ending with

the extension “.PGM” or “.APS”, then press Soft Key 1.

4. A screen will appear requiring user input. If confused, simply press

Soft Key 1 and the file will begin loading. When finished, your version 3

MPC60 will contain sounds. Press MAIN SCREEN to return to the main

Play/Record screen.
