Hi there people. This is my first post here. I'm completely new to MPCs, so sorry for the newb questions, but I'm stuck. Mine was purchased in mint unused condition with a 128 mb card, so I hope it's not a malfunction.

I've just installed the free JJ OS on this MPC - Version 3.16 - When I try to set the time of the sample I want to record, I spin the wheel, but the minute value won't change from 0 at all, and on the seconds, I can only go up to 9 seconds before it stops. I've shot this little video of what I'm seeing on my screen. Can someone tell me what I can do? Thx in advance! :)

PS sorry for the poor video, it was hard to get the screen to show up clearly.

Just before the camera moves away at the beginning, the MPC screen says 'Loading Sample' - how big is this sample? Is AUTOLOAD from internal memory switched on (LOAD > WINDOW, I think, it's been a few years since I used the 1000).

Also hold down TAP TEMPO during boot up to 'reinitialise' the MPC, this often fixes any glitches that may occur after an OS update.
