My mpc crash on me!!! :(
I was using my mpc 2000 classic with reason. I had drum samples on the mpc. Reason had some synths. Then it crashed on me and gave me this:

Does anyone know what these codes mean? Thanks

It means you blew it up!
I was doing some some prefuse 73 type tracks where I had the tempo doubled (200 bpm for a 100 bpm style track) so that I could do super fast 32nd note triplet stutters, and I crashed my mpc 3-4 times. I got the same jibber jabber. I think it just couldn't handle that much info at a time.

On page 179 part R of the manual it says:
"If the end error code displayed shows SP:1470, you should stop making wack beats and send unit to JUKE 179r immediately.". :lol:

jk.....

Hopefully you saved what you were working on before it happend. I got that crazy sh*t before and just restarted the MPC back up.

lol I already had the drum sounds in a program. No biggie, i was just starting. I just had 1 seq made. reason didn't crash so i saved that. I just hope my ram or something isn't going bad.

It's a register value dump or similar. Registers are temporary value storage areas in microprocessors. There are various specialised ones. "PC" most likely stands for "program counter" (like line number) and "SP" is probably the "stack pointer" (stack is a pile of temporary values). Idea being that these were their values at the moment it crashed. If an engineer makes a note of these it can help him debug the code.

So not really error codes more debug info.
