I wouldn’t say it’s nonsense. All you have to do is plug it in and use it. 7 virtual drives on a card. Transferring files back and forth to a pc is always a process but not really convoluted. There’s no special software involved on Mac and any size card is fine. The xl has the same near 1 gig limitation as the 2k. The Zulu adds 6x more drives on the sd for 7 gigs total. If you got a good work flow stick with it!

@@bootdiskandchill the 1gb limit is only for atapi. My card reader is scsi and it can use any size drive. I thought you actually made this, but you’re a reseller. But whoever did design this might have the expertise to clone the scsi bridge that was discontinued 18 years ago. It currently sells for $400 used I’m not very experienced with isos and anything beyond noob level computing intimidates me, but I’m sure I will come around to it eventually because I’m not paying $400 for a scsi bridge

@@APMTenants honestly man I would pursue it if I was you. It could probably help a lot of people out. I’ve never heard of it. If you need some help with ISOs just follow along. It’s not too different from loading a USB stick, hard disk or anything else, only it’s virtual - a file that represents hardware.

thank you !!!!!!! (a far far salute from china, please forgive about my terrible english.)

You might have a bad copy of the OS or bad disk. Definitely track down a known working floppy drive, emulator, or SCSI disk and download the OS 1.72. The MPC2000 requires it to boot every time you turn it on. This is one of the reasons the ZuluSCSI is great. The OS can sit on the SD card along with your data and boot the MPC2000 in just a few seconds.

@@bootdiskandchill thank you for your answer，I used have a old floppy driver, and I tested it by 2kxl, it’s okay, but now, I setup a gotek for it, still not useful(I have formatted the usb into 999 part and I copied the os into the 1st part, still error like what I said above) and i have a bluescsi，i formatted the img file by 2kxl,and I copied the 2k classic os into it,it still like that, maybe which chip was broken but I don’t know about it

@@WitnessVNZ it's probably the SCSI fuse you need to replace FS1 on the circuit board behind the SCSI port. If the BlueSCSI has a USB port on it try that - on the ZuluSCSI if you power it you can bypass a blown fuse. Good Luck!

@@bootdiskandchill thank you again, bro, but the machine repair buddy told me that my scsi on mpc is okay! So can u tell me which the problem could be other parts ????

Your welcome! That’s good point too. Glad you got it sorted!

This is a much better way to archive for sure 👍

What version of Ableton are you using? They took it out of the most recent versions

Any alternative DAWs or VSTs that would be able to read these types of files?

@@bootdiskandchill ableton 11

@@jotatokujo1690 they are going to be older - like logic 7/8, ableton live 10 and below. I keep licenses for older software and haven’t upgraded from 10. Legacy software is pretty cheap on eBay and people can do license transfers. Really tho we just need the already converted disks right so some some type of sample pool would be cool for interested ppl.

@@SnazzyBoxx only 10 and older unfortunately. Maybe they bring it back sometime

No, it can be SND or WAV.

@@bootdiskandchill whats wrong with my MPC Beats, why can't I load both SND and WAV file?

@@tawwana-band what happens when you try and load?

The menu will be a little different but the setup is still the same.

You're welcome 😊

Yeah. You can run any os with the Zulu. I would highly recommend it.

You’re welcome!

Absolutely! I'll make it my next video

@@bootdiskandchill thank you so much 🙏

@@Gasparzinho311 if you want to experiment before I drop the video try right-clicking an ISO file and select Open With diskimagemounter this will mount the ISO file (virtual disk) and allow you to view it in the finder like a hard disk or USB stick. Depending on you settings you may double-click the ISO as well. Good Luck! Give me a few days and I'll have a video up soon!!

@@bootdiskandchill omggg thank you!!

You're welcome!

Appreciate it!

Definitely!

Good tip!

@@bootdiskandchill plsease answer me the question bout sp808 or tell me where could i join the talk group！thanks！

I forgot to add 8.3 file names too. I think you can go up to 12 or 16 in the MPC if it stays on the MPC but as soon as you start transferring files to and from the computer it chops it to 8 characters.

Probably best just having a smallish mb size on partition A scsi0 then move them off onto other partitions or other SCSI numbers. I had 600 mb on partition A scsi0 but fell fowl of the number of files 512 so had loads of space left 😂

@@mrrothers3024 good point!

Thanks! I'll be dropping some more - stay tuned!

Are you using windows? I use an external usb floppy too and don’t have any problems. Were you able to format the disk at all?

@pinstream you have to use the App PowerISO for windows. Insert the microSD card into your computer using an adapter and mount the ISO file of whichever HD you want to use. Drag and drop the files onto the ISO and unmount. Put the microSD in the ZuluSCSI and load your sounds!

Yes! They come with the entire mpc library from the 60,3000,2000 and xl plus some other samples and the 2000 boot disk. Best solution for the mpc2000 by far!

Thank you! I try and keep it chill 😎

Could be a bad disk or bad floppy drive. If you tried the SCSI port the fuse could be bad. Try a new disk or two and then replace the drive if necessary. Good luck!

@@bootdiskandchill thank you，i dont have any floppy，i use gotek，my mpc4000 read my usb disk as floppy，and i could see the 2000os in mpc4000，but when i insert usb into mpc2000，it said what i said，so， im not sure about my gotek，if my gotok is okay，my main board maybe in troubles…….thank you again！

got cha @@WitnessVNZ does the MPC2000 say "Insert Disk" when you turn it on?

@@bootdiskandchill yes！but when i insert my usb，it said something like ：disk read error。

@@WitnessVNZ ok then either the Gotek isn’t configured correctly or it’s bad.

Check your MIDI cables, they could be bad!

Or just check the settings in ableton Make sure your audio interface is set up in it…

Also can work in the Akai S3000XL as well?

Hi Mark! Yes and yes! You can get a db25 cable to sit it to the side. You can’t install this model internally but you can other ones. I recommend this format though. Works well with a 3000xl.

@@bootdiskandchill hey my order has been held in Canada customs in Toronto since Feb11

@@markhenke2709 I have contacted Canada Border Services for you and await a reply!

@@markhenke2709 glad it didn’t sit in customs for too long! Hope to hear some beats from you soon!

If you already have a boot disk. If you buy an MPC2000 second hand you’ll need to obtain or make one to boot the machine and make another.

Yes

Yes! You just need an adapter.

Hi Felix! Does the partition load in the MPC? Can you see the samples? What kind of card are you using (brand/size)?

Hi, I format de SD with the mpc. I have HD0 to HD7 with partitions. But I want to load on my computer samples and then loaded to mpc via SD, I cant make that happen. Do you suggest something? thank you very much for the help :)@@bootdiskandchill

@@felixtombeur2768 ok Felix, you will have to mount the ISOs on the computer. If you use windows try the app “power iso”. If you are on Mac right click the iso and select mount then navigate to it in the finder. Because they are in Akai format and partitioned, a computer can only access the “a” partition. Also the file system of the mpc is limited to 512 files per partition. They will need to be named 8.3 like bootdisk.wav. Make sure they are 16 bit and not larger than the memory in your MPC.

@@bootdiskandchill Hi thanks a lot! Im still figuring out this. I have also other question, how you managed to saved on diferentes partitions? I mean when one is full and can´t save all, how to continue onto the next one?

Yes you would

github.com/ZuluSCSI/ZuluSCSI-firmware/wiki/ZuluSCSI-Manual#introduction-features That’s strange. Here is a link to the full manual. There may be something you’re missing. I name all my iso files HD0.iso, HD1.iso, HD2.iso, HD3.iso, HD4.iso, HD5.iso and HD7.iso. I make new iso files 899MB format in the MPC and name it something like “HD5 - 2024 beats.iso” before dropping the MPC2000 os on it, there’s a lot of flexibility in the naming. Make sure you’re using the extension .iso in the file name. Tell me about what you’re doing. Are you trying to set up a new card?

Thanks @HackGameX294 !!! It’s a beat I made that I use for most of my video tutorials. I might publish it soon so other ppl can use it too!

@@bootdiskandchill Please do so! I have a fan-project in development, and I may need those tracks as references to my composers. I feel your tracks are a great direction for what I need! It would be well appreciated. 💜

@@HackGameX294 hey! I’ll be your composer 😆

@@bootdiskandchill I would be interested, though it is a passion project that I can’t exactly pay. Do you have a Discord? (if you’re serious)

Yes. You could use a small plastic adapter for the db25 of the Zulu to the xl or a cable . For the xl I prefer the cable. Other than that that’s all you need!

whats the adapter called?@@bootdiskandchill

The 2kxl has a scsi port at the rear, no db25. You would need an adapter.
