It won't load Akai programs (pgm's), and you have to specifically save your files as wav in the MPC, since the older units allow you to save as either .wav or .snd, with .snd being a proprietary Akai file that can be opened by some programs - I've never tried to open .snd's with Live, since I save all my samples in my MPC as wav's.

Live will not load Akai programs (pgm's), so no, your samples adjusted to be multisamples from your MPC won't load.
