I have a WAV file that won’t load, loads partly, or even crashes the MPC1000 – what now?
We’ll assume you’ve checked it’s the correct format as per Q1: The WAV file format is modular, and WAV files saved by some applications contain extra “chunks” that can trip up other programs and hardware. If your WAV editor has a “save non-audio data” option, try deselecting that. Alternatively, try using dbPowerAmp (see Q3), to “convert” the sample to the same format, whch strips out extra chunks without changing the sound. The MPC1000 had some problems loading files saved by ProTools, even when saved in the correct sample format. MPC1000 OS 1.04 contains a fix for this. On the PC, you can use the RIFF File Viewer or WAV Properties Extension from Maxim Digital Audio to examine the Chunks in a WAV file. Of all the non-standard chunk types, only the “sampler” chunk is any use to the MPC1000, that’s where it stores the sample loop points (see Q5 in this section). thynctank says: http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/autotune.htm: This is the best free program available for batch
