HOWTO: Transfering files from/to your computer via File Transfer (FTP)

Follow

BeatMaker 2 allows you to upload your own files over WiFi, using the File Transfer feature.

You can import:

  • Samples as WAV/AIFF, 8 to 32-bits resolution, mono/stereo, 8kHz-192kHz, PCM/float
  • MIDI files (.mid)
  • BeatMaker 1 BMKZ kits and projects (.bm, .bms)
  • All beatmaker 2 files such as presets (.bmk2), projects (.bm2), MIDI templates (.bmt), etc.


Likewise, you can retrieve all files stored in the "My Content" BeatMaker 2 directory.
To do that, you'll need to install a FTP client (File Transfer Protocol) on your laptop or desktop computer.

Here are some freeware FTP clients you can download for MacOS X and Windows:
