Can you get your MPC sequences into MIDI File format?  That is the first key
(I apologize but I don't recall if the MPC2K uses MIDI Files as its native
sequencer format or even has an import/exprt option for MIDI Files).

Next you need to realize that your MP7 can either have patterns that are at
most 32 bars or a song which has a single track (though that track can
contain 16 MIDI channels).  So you may need to do some pre-editing of the
MPC sequences to make them work with the.  BTW Type 0 MIDI FILES are pretty
much what a XX-7 song is so exporting in that format would probably work.

Once you done your edits and conversions you can transfer the songs and
patterns to the XX-7 by using the Eloader program on your PC or Mac.  if for
some reason that is not possible then you will have to use plan "B"

In some ways this may be the easiest.  the idea is to simply record each of
the MPC sequences into the MP7 using MIDI.  Connect one of the MPC outs to
MP7 input and send the one MP7 out to the MPC.  Put the MPC in slave sync
mode and have the MP7 output MIDI clock.  load up each sequence in turn and
do a multichannel record on the MP7.  if you must record a sequence longer
than 32 bars then you will have to record an XX-7 song.

Sorry that all this seems so complex.  It probably is easier to do than to
write.  the real issue is if your MPC sequences are exceeding the MP7's
basic capabilities like pattern length of song track count.
