When my MPC crashes, it sounds like this...

It did it over a year ago about 1 week after i bought it, and this afternoon a year later it did it again! Managed to be recording at the same time so i tracked that sh*t down! Apart from all the samples playing at once there was just all this data on the screen like 0000000000110003200 an sh*t. Lost a little bit of work too dammit, thats ok I forgave it a second later.

I've had some good noises from crashes in the past. I always wished I could have sampled them........ Sometimes I get a similar sound if I'm purging a lot of stuff, but it never does it again if I try & set it up to do the same thing.

something like that happened to me. . .and it turned out my ram was kinda loose in the socket and wasnt getting good connections. before trying o take it apart, i ended up just giving the mp a couple little raps with my knuckles right under where the ram is and it stopped.
