Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Bruno Wed Aug 06, 2003 8:00 pm
I downloaded the latest OS for my recently purchased MPC 2000XL and loaded it. As soon as it finished it made some weird sounds and went inti a screen with lots of numbers and seq, run,step and memory, assigned to
F3, F4, F5 and F6.
I loaded the BIN. file.
WHAT DID I DO WRONG??
No everytime I turn on the MPC it asks for the floppy disk and it starts to detect memory and goes to the same display.
PLeasehelp cos´I can´t work no more.

Thanx in advance,
Nice music and vibes to all in the forum.

I would guess that you had a corrupt OS update.

Redownload the OS file. Open the Zip file and extract directly to a new and formatted floppy. *****Do not extract to your computer's drive first.*****

Once booted, got to load screen and load the OS again to flash to memory.

you can download on "akai.com" there is a section for os . then you don't need to load it every time you turn on the mpc ( well i don't know for the non XL model ) , it is burn on rom .
