Loading the MPC Demo Sounds
After downloading the file syntaur-mpc.zip, you will need to extract the zipped files using WinZip or similar software. Then...
MPC2000, MPC2000xl, and MPC3000
users can make a floppy disk that will load directly
into their samplers. Insert a blank HD (high-density) floppy disk into the drive of your PC.
From the directory where the zipped files were extracted, double-click on the file makedemo.bat.
The computer should begin writing the data to the floppy disk.
When the floppy drive light goes off, you can remove the disk from your PC, and load the
program file MPC_DEMO.PRG directly into your MPC2000, MPC2000xl, or MPC3000.
If your MPC2000xl only has a Zip drive,
you can copy MPC_DEMO.PRG and all of the .SND files
to a PC-formatted Zip disk using a PC, and then load that Zip disk into your MPC.
MPC4000
users can transfer the files
(MPC_DEMO.PRG and all of the .SND files) to their sampler by burning them to a CD-ROM.
