ZIP DRIVE QUEST

I got an external 250 mb zip on my mpc 2000xl

one zip drive with all my beats...i wanna save the improtent ones on an other zip drive

so i load the beat...change zips and save the beat...savin is goin ok

but when i wanna load the beat of the "new" zip its going slow as **** and i dont think that a good thing

i formatted the zips...but iono what i can do

help meeeeeee out

half of two

can anyone help pleeeeeeease

here is a way you can get this to work

I would erase the new disc you just mad. load the old disc back into the mpc. with in the mpc create the new pad assignment with all of the sounds that you want to stay and take out the ones you dont. now I know that on my mpc2000(not xl) there is a feature called purge and I think its in the globel or programs window I dont have it in front of me right now so youll have to check your manual for its location, but once you find out how to do the purge thing it will get rid of all of the samples that are not used in a program and then you can save your new setup on you new disc. this should work out better. and if it doesn't or you've tried it already I would try useing a new disc

yeah i tried that already maybe my 2 blank discs are dead

thnxs anyway man

peace

Try formatting the 2 "dead" zip disk in PC using FAT.. Then take them to MPC and see what happens..

damn I bought a new disc today and tried to save and load

savin went okay just like on the old discs

but again when i wanna load it of the new dist its going sooooo slow..like floppy

peace

i dont think its the zip to zip thing

cause when i load sumthin of a floppy and save it on a BRAND NEW zip its savin fast and good..but when i wanna load that its takin 10 times longer than normal

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How big are you samples...Are u loading more than just drum hits?
Vocal/samples will take longer than regular hits etc

nah full beats samples drums everything

but its loadin quick on my old disc..just slow on the new ones

can it be the format shit?

Did you format the new yet ?

Are you saving as wav. or snd????


I notice that if I save it as snd it loads much faster

always save as snd

this shit got me messed up real bad

its not the mpc or the zip drive i think its sumthin with the disc

only 1!!! disc is loadin fast

has it sumthin to do with the format shit?? i formatted the discs in the mpc only

help me before i throw my mpc out of my window

Do you put the MPC OS on each ZIP you use?

I dont have the os on any of my other zips
