SCSI SD Card Readers For Dummies || Save and Transfer Sounds to and from Computer to MPC 2000XL

[@BoombapBodega]

The SCSI SD card is a good look for the XL! I picked up one for my MPC2000. 🔥🔥🔥

[@SauceSoundz]

One of my best purchases next to the 8 outs.!!

[@chasl5674]

Great video tutorial on the AKAI SCSI SD Card Reader but if you don’t like the SD Card Reader sticking out from the back of your MPC2000XL, I took my AKAI MPC2000XL SCSI Cable and purchased a MEIRYFA DB 25 Pin Gender changer D SUB 25 Pin Coupler Serial cable Gender Changer RS232 VGA Adapter Connector for Application Pack of 2 ( FEMALE to FEMALE ) from Amazon to join both MALE 25Pin ends together to the AKAI MPC2000XL SCSI Cable and to the SCSI Reader. Now it will be long enough to lay the cable onto your studio desk, without sticking out of back of your MPC2000XL. I did it and it works.

[@SauceSoundz]

Hell yeah thank you. I gotta try it

[@dez5]

Use the ZIP drive SCSI cable for the SCSI2SD and expand it from the Drum Machine.🎵🎵🎵🎶

[@marcferry]

Hey friend, good option, I installed a CF reader on mine, but what you bring friend is more pro.

[@SauceSoundz]

Yes it's pretty cool so far

[@Harzurner]

CF is the way

[@SaintThomas13]

You nailed it exactly. I've lost so many beats due to power outages because I leave mine on also. Actually I just replaced the screen because I left it on so long that I believe it made the screen fade out.. lol

[@SauceSoundz]

🤣🤣 the struggle is real. The new screens are better tho. You'll enjoy it

[@SaintThomas13]

@@SauceSoundz quick question, if you get an SD card installed in front in place of the floppy, can't you save your sequences and sounds the same way

[@SauceSoundz]

@@SaintThomas13 yea you could. I just like this option better cause it allows me to go back to my old sounds on the floppies plus if I ever sell the machine it makes it more valuable

[@SaintThomas13]

@@SauceSoundz Awesome, im laughing now because I didn't think of that before I installed the SD card reader. Oh well😃

[@dcanone]

Thats dope. Thanks dude. I been on the fence about this thing. Your video helped my decision.

Happy to help 💪

Thanks man I appreciate that

[@beurredemisell]

2:13 wtf 😂

[@escuchesne4075]

What is the name of the adapter for the MPC??

[@SauceSoundz]

Here u go. There is s cheaper option out there. I over paid but I bought it here. www.mpcstuff.com/scsi-mini-sd-card-reader-portable-mpc-2000-mpc-3000/ Snoop around the interwebs you will find it cheaper though

[@docart4159]

Put a short SCSI cable on it and you can pull it around to the front and it will be safer.

[@forsale313]

Can you use the cable from the iOmega unit you have by plugging the card reader into the end that is in the iOmega drive and leave the other end in the MPC ? I'm thinking you may have to use the extra power adapter that came with the card reader to make sure it has power just like the iOmega when it's plugged into the MPC.

[@SauceSoundz]

For whatever reason, it's working with the power cable. My mpc 3000 for whatever reason does need it. It's because my scsi fuse is burnt so I need the power on that one . Any mini USB cable u gave laying around should work tho

[@pinstream]

and in the windows system how do i put a drum kit that i bought on the internet and are sounds in wav to put them in the micro sd and read it my mpc 2000xl through the zuluscsi

[@SauceSoundz]

My bad I'm getting back to you so late. The samples must be 16 bit if they aren't they won't work .

[@immersive_______9925]

I need that adapter instead of a scsi cable

[@tyronesellers382]

I have the MPCX focus rite 8 pre and lunch box. I need help routing them. Can you help?

[@SauceSoundz]

Sorry my dude all gear I don't have . But I bet it's gonna be nice once you hook it. Up. That's all good stuff

[@jltbk5420]

@@SauceSoundz what do you need help routing. How are you trying to output everything

[@markkelley3648]

What type of scsi adapter are you using to connect the card reader to the MPC?

[@SauceSoundz]

It came with the card reader.

[@torrancemurphy661]

You need the adapter for The MPC2000.

[@Soulstice_Beats]

I had a 2000xl wish I never sold it and kept it even though the workflow was so slow compared to the live

[@SauceSoundz]

Love my XL man. I enjoy the workflow . More cause I just did it for so long. It just relaxes me.

[@chadpescod-realtor3308]

You're not missing anything. The Live is where it's at. Tedious workflow on the XL. For me the juice is not worth the squeeze.

[@molech7640]

How can I make my samples fit the 16 bit Mpc I have different drum and sample packs in my computer

[@SauceSoundz]

I was only able to use my files that were already 16 bit. I did a quick search and saw u might be able to do it on your saw or in iTunes. I'm sure you wanna do it in a batch conversion. Couldn't find that. I'm sure if u dig around you'll find something. Sorry I can't help more

[@molech7640]

If i put my operating system on A what partition can I load up my drums from computer ?

[@SauceSoundz]

On mine I had to put it on A. I didn't see any other option. If you find a way to put it on other ones let me know

[@dre7sus]

One question... Whats the max gig sd card you can use is it 8g or more?

[@SauceSoundz]

All I know is mpc stuff gave me an 8gb. It says on the website it will only work with SD cards with smaller memory. I bought a few 1gb cards from Amazon too. They work well.

[@kamikaze6295]

Very helpful ,thank you bro. The mpc 2000xl is a Beast btw

[@SauceSoundz]

Happy to help and yea man that's why I can't part with it

[@Ancaja123]

I wanna hear the best that’s in the background around 1:20

[@SauceSoundz]

Hey wats up. That's from a few yrs ago. Did that on my MPC 2kxl. Here ya go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4KTZoxueciInrcsi=zO1HvtATO7FQ_Kml

[@jamiecruz280]

Lesson number one lesson number one when you save into the MPC you have to go to root with the cursor spin the wheel it'll ask you new folder, just name ur folders...and u can save the same named sounds just when u load to existing programs rename..... That way every beat is in its own folder, then u just scroll threw the folders

[@SauceSoundz]

Dude thank you so much. Gonna try that out. I appreciate the tip

[@jamiecruz280]

I can show you exactly how to do it

[@jamiecruz280]

Once u learn it's simple and organized

[@jamiecruz280]

The thing about too many partitions is if one partition goes out and disc read error it usually affects more than just that particular partition meaning if one partition goes out it's usually the whole disk that goes

[@jamiecruz280]

A lot of people complain about the zip drive how loud it is how long it takes to save which I do agree but there's something just more satisfying about saving beats on those types of storage media because it's just feels parallel to the time

[@ONEHENDRIX]

I don’t understand how this helps you save current unsaved screen work, that hasn’t been saved to disk when the unit unexpectedly loses power. Do you have the FMX008M Flash Rom board for the 2KXL in your unit? It prevents these types of losses.

[@ONEHENDRIX]

Ahhhh… I see. You have the floppy disk drive. GotChu. Now it all makes sense. Although, I don’t think the value would change if you at least had a zip100 or zip250 drive in there. Besides, you got the sky blue fat pads by MPC stuff on there. I believe there’s a zip750 internal drive too, but I don’t think it reads zip100 disks. But I still suggest you get the FMX008M Flash Rom for the sake of power outages.

[@SauceSoundz]

I'll look into it. I know nothing about it. And your right but I do have all my stock parts including the pads. Anyway thanks for watching 👍

[@markfeldman124]

Hey man! I just got a zuluscsi mini for my 2000xl with OS 1.14. When I format inside the 2000xl and try to open the SD card in windows, it shows the ISO file but doesn't mount like a drive. Do I need 1.20 OS for it to mount in windows? Thanks!

[@SauceSoundz]

Hey man. So I got is 1.14 also. I have a Mac and it mounted no problem. I don't know if you have to install driver's on your PC or maybe the card reader or something isn't right? I'm sorry I can't help I did a quick search and got nothing

[@markfeldman124]

@@SauceSoundz all good! I actually figured it out, I think. MPCs read FAT16 partitions so I used PowerISO to open the image and than can use it like a drive.

[@SauceSoundz]

@@markfeldman124 my man! Awesome! Hope this comment helps someone out too. Have fun we just extended the life of our machines 💪

[@LAOhiphop]

you can buy a scsi extension cable. less chance of it breaking off.

[@SauceSoundz]

Good idea thanks

[@channelite]

what about an internal zuluscsi?

[@Harzurner]

Power outages suck on all platforms from pc to asr-10

[@SauceSoundz]

Nothin but facts

[@jasoncowie2390]

You should be able to plug the drive right into your SCSI without the the adapter..

[@SauceSoundz]

Nope needs the adapter. Goes right into my 3000 no problem

[@trevormusik]

Can you tell me what Mpc OS you were running while using the emulator?

[@tnoinetwork]

The A partition will be the only partition that ever shows up on a computer, so you will have to load all of your sound into partition A. If you’re using an Apple computer, I have found that all the generations that have an SD card slot on them from the MacBook pros iMacs to Mac Minis work extremely well with dragging and dropping samples onto these SD cards The bigger the partition, the better in my situation, are used the entire 512 MB compact flash, I converted all of my Way files in the MPCPgmMaker to SND I’m only using 16 pads from Bank A. Was my samples loaded up into the MPC and the sign to pay it that is when I turn it into an actual kit because the MPCPGM maker program was actually designed for the 2000 XL and the 3000 and save it in whatever partition from B-Z. Please remember that the MPC formatted SD card will not show all the other partitions using your computer unless, of course, you have some type of special software that will allow you access to all of the partitions other than that, it will only show the first or partition A

[@SauceSoundz]

Thanks for clarifying this. I wasn't sure if I was right about that. That helps out a lot. 🤝

[@tnoinetwork]

@@SauceSoundz if you need help with anything let me know.

[@molech7640]

How do I get the adapter?

[@SauceSoundz]

I got it on MPC stuff.com

[@chadpescod-realtor3308]

I've never lost beats due to power outages. I do see the value in getting a better file management system though. Floppies and zip disks are not reliable.

[@SauceSoundz]

Yeah the SD card is good. Def a game changer

[@dubdoodle7191]

For a music producer your audio level in this vid is really low. Are you familiar with 0 in 0 out basic 101 audio production ?

[@SoundstarMusic]

Why not just get the internal card reader option? You mentioned you don’t save the beats so I’m assuming you don’t need the floppy’s or zips anymore. I own the 2KXL and the value of them has increased a lot over the years but it ain’t because of the floppy drive being there…😂 it’s mostly because of the sound of the box and the internal card reader take 2 minutes to put in quite honestly. Glad it’s working for you though👍🏾

[@SauceSoundz]

I still got some old beats and sounds on my floppy's and the zip I wanna be able to revisit. Plus keeping the machine as original as possible maintains its value. Think of it like a classic car. But I ain't selling it anyway so whatever

[@anier1582]

Great vid

[@jamiecruz280]

As long as ur in the folder it'll only save to the folder....

[@dre7sus]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@APMTenants]

That looks janky af. Install an internal drive and replace the floppy with compact flash. If you must use the 50 pin, use an adapter CABLE so you don’t have that ish sticking out the back. In my 2000xl the floppy is replaced with compact flash over a scsi bridge, so I can use any size card. There is also an atapi compact flash inside the machine. That one is limited to 2gb cards because of the MPC os
