trouble chopping up samples

yo, wassup mpc forums.
i got a question, i just installed 32 mb into my 2000xl and i thought it
would help chop up my samples.
i can sample a song but only for a few seconds.
and when i go to chop it up, it says that i dont have enough memory.

do i have to configure the memory into my mpc or does it do it by itself?

can someone please help me out?

thanks.

Your memory is not seated right or the memory doesn't work

just what i was thinking, i got it for free from the dude i bought my 2000xl off of and i just emailed him about it cause he works at guitar center so yea. thanks for the help mayn. ima have to go cop me some new memory.
thank you. i appreciate it

If you wanna know for sure how much memory it's seeing, boot it up, hit shift+sample and then hit Open Window.

If it still says 2MB, it's not seeing anything you put in. If it's seeing any other number, do the math to figure out if it's seeing all of it, part of it, etc.

I'd assume you put in two 16MB sticks, so if it says it's seeing 18MB, one stick is registering, etc.

Lotsa places to get the right RAM pretty cheap if what you got there is bogus.

^^^^ that was very helpful mayn, thank you very much. it only says 2mb installed, o well at least i didnt have to pay for the wacked out memory, it was free so its all good. gonna buy more memory soon enough. thanks for the help.

Word. No problem.

Far as where to get the correct memory, Google and ye shall receive.

Personally, I've used http://www.edgetechcorp.com/memory/upgr ... ?cid=25213 (currently listing for $12 a stick) in the past, but again, you'll find no shortage out there.

don't forget that you also need to change the sample time in the sampling screen. go to the "time" selector with your cursor. if you can go up to 186.6 seconds, you know you've got the 32 Megs of RAM installed correctly.

thanks for all the help i really appreciate it. I just got the news that my friends dad has a microtech PCD47 that he doesnt use on his MPC so he's gonna give it to me so i can have a MCD reader, made me happy i aint gonna lie haha oh and i bought 2 16mb sticks from that edgetechcorp thanks to DJ SIX, i even got free shipping on it, it was weird, i thought only over $40 but i got an email saying it was gonna be free. Thanks for all the help everyone
