Wassup dawgz,

I got my brand new 2kXL yesterday - and i must say i'm very impressed, its such a user friendly, smooth machine - definately worth the cash. I also got a zip drive installed and a digital 8 in/out mixer board for the sale price! Do they both come standard now or what?
Anyways, i was just doing some looping of beats {not exactly sure what} this afternoon, and all of a sudden it crashed on me! The screen had "prgoramme error" or something on it, and there were a whole heap of numbers an shit, and all the samples were playing, it was freaky as! I had to turn the machine off at the power, and when i turned it back on all my work was gone which sucked.
Just wandering what would have caused this? Is it normal? Or should i look into it? I'd had the MPC on for around 3-4 hours before, and I had opened the case up {yesterday} to install the in/out board - but i made sure everything went where it was supposed to, and i didnt touch anything besides the in/out board.
And i've been using it from around 1pm this afternoon till 7 tonite and its been fine...whats up with this?

I've crashed my MPC a few times, and I noticed I did it more when I first got it. I think I would just try to do too much on the machine at once. Point is, they do crash from time to time, so whenever you get something you like, save that sh<i></i>it and you won't lose your work again (or just what you did from the last save point)

Peace1

There are still a couple of bugs in the 2KXL, they occur after a specific order of button pushes.

tru? man thats some trippy logic - yeh spose i was pressing quite a few pads and buttons at the same time, thats why i wondered if it was something i'd pushed...

yup..still got it now and then..

I start not using it like my computer where i push lots of buttons @ the same time..and start bang on the keys when i dont work..!

when my MP got a hick up i just let my baby recover from it for 5 mins and then i press the main button or the load button and 8/10 times he's back!

Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying that your MPC can go into a complete crash and you and can still recover it without rebooting?
