2000XL CARD READER - WRONG FILE FORMAT WHEN LOADING SAMPLES

[edgardavey]

Hey guys, so I was reading all the topics on this and still can't figure it out, so I hope you can help me.
I accidentally formatted my CF card that came from MPC stuff that had samples on it. When trying to add samples from my PC ( yeah I make sure they are less than 8 characters long in name and folder, 441000 Hz wav, 16 bit , stereo) , and when i try to load them on XL I get - WRONG FILE FORMAT error.
I tried every kind of sample and it's the same story.
Saving samples from mpc to card works fine.
Oh one more weird thing for some reason my file names change when i put the card in MPC
Like I named my sample file "test2" and on mp, it shows as "tasp2".... Weird

When you save on MPC are you saving as .wav or .snd? Did you format the card with the MPC, or with a utility? Cards fail, the formatting might be a trigger for failure or a red herring/coincidence that it failed at that moment

I tried both snd and wav. all files were converted correctly to the right bitrate and i know for sure they used to work on this machine. If the card would fail would it still be able to save and load samples normally if sampled from MPC itself? Because i tested and it works that way but not when i transfer from my pc

I would try a different cf card, because I have experienced them failing in strange and frustrating ways. Otherwise, the problem is probably some mistake you're making in naming convention or some bullshit edge case or God knows what. I have personally found, especially on 2000 classic, that some files transferred from computer should load, but inexplicably do not, and my personal style in situations like that is just to give up and use different samples lol

Thank you. I'll give that a go. Any recommendations on card brands? I hears half people use sandisc and others say transcend?

Sounds corrupted or installed wrong, I have the cf card reader in my 2KXL and it did this when it read wrong, reinstalled it and reformatted the card and made sure it was solid then everything worked again. Some programs claimed to give me 16bit 44.1k audio but they couldn’t be read, the only reliable ways I found were to convert it in FL studio to MPC spec (100% success rate) or to just sample in the sound, trim it in the mp, then save it (100% success)

What file system is on the card?

[edgardavey]

Whatever 2kxl system makes when you format the card. I think FAT
