Explanation
Deletes the samples used by the specified part or library patch
(Delete Patch), and then imports the data.
Imports the patch to the specified location.
Some imported data may not
be reproduced correctly.
In addition to importing the
sound library data listed in the
table at left, you can also
import Standard MIDI Files
(SMF extension .MID) and
convert them to MV-8000
songs.
You cannot create a patch
simply by loading Akai
MPC2000/2000XL program
files (.PGM) alone. The sound
files (.SND or .WAV) must also
be present in the same folder
as the program file.
Akai program files are
analogous to the MV-8000's
patches.
The data on an Akai
MPC2000/2000XL or S1000/
S3000 CD-ROM is organized
into proprietary units called
"partitions." On the MV-8000,
these will appear as folders
named PARTITION A,
PARTITION B, and so on.
When Akai MPC2000/2000XL
or S1000/S3000 program files
or sound files are converted,
the category name will be
"AK" and the patch name will
be the first twelve characters of
the program file name.
