I have 128 MB RAM. How can I ever ran out of memory by setting up sequence.

It's seems that after recording MIDI keyboard filter sweeps and modulation and such, the message starting popping up.

What gives?!

What is your max recordable sequencer notes?

Maybe with all that midi data, filter sweeps, note on and note off events you filled up the recordable sequencer
note events and now you have no more sequencer memory/events, it's NOT ram, it's a set number of sequencer events that you can record. Advanced Midi functions and Filter sweeps are notorious for eating up sequencer note events. Example, pressing a key on the midi keyboard is a NOTE ON event, and when you release the key it's a NOTE OFF event, that's 2 events right there. When you use a filter sweep, there is an event for each step edit tick you record across, that EATS sequencer note events like crazy. There are MANY more midi things that can eat up note events though.

1k manual page 103

Sequencer

Maximum events 100,000 notes


For comparison
2kxl manual page 193
Sequencer
• Maximum events ........................... 300,000 notes (maximum 50,000 notes per sequence)
(notes equivalent)

This means me having a 2kxl I have triple the sequencer memory u do. I could only use a max of 50,000 events per sequence but for the all together max I could accomplish more midi that what you did, 3 times more.

nice one lamp... a technical reason besides the better build quality in favour of the xl. good job!

Yeah, I can get technical I just don't care to do it often :lol:

Also I forgot to mention, even when using regular mpc, with no midi keyboard/devices, you are using up sequencer notes when you create sequences. So combine your regular mpc pad pushing into the note event equation also.

Thanks dawg.... that maybe the issue. I write full 5-6 min sequences with multitracks for drum pads and keyboard.
It's possible I went over 100K.
