losing previously saved projects when saving new one

been messin with the 1000 with jjos1(4.99) and saved a project but once i created a new one and saved it the previous projects samples are erased. im hoping im just saving it wrong or something but ive tried to rename seqs. prgms. etc... please help its so frustrating to lose a project.

ok. few questions mang

You have CF cards your saving beats to?

You should create a new folder for each beat. then save "entire memory" into that folder. name folders like "beat 134 86" ie beat number and tempo, or whatever.

Create a new file before saving new ish.

So say you made a beat (beat 1) save entire memeory to CF card in folder called beat 1/

Turn off, turn on, make new beat - save it in folder called beat 2.

This way you dont have to rename each program / project / sample, unless your loading sound programs, then you should be naming them proper (having 100 bass samples all called sample 1 will **** ish up)

thanks man i knew i was doing something wrong. i was saving into the same folder. hah

i keep file names simple (kick1, hihat1, beat1)

i was about to say to Format the CF Card inside your Mpc before you start using it.

Hello, i have been having the same problems.

I made a project called 'Set 1' using all 4 Pad banks. I went to SAVE ENTIRE MEMORY and began making another project which i named 'Set 2'. Again I went and 'SAVED ENTIRE MEMORY' (to my 2GB Memory card) which then seemed to wipe my 'Set 1' project.

When i load 'Set 1' the MPC loads all of the samples i used in that project but nothing is assigned to the pads.

This is causing me real problems, is this normal?

After reading the suggestions in this post I input all samples in to another project, went to SAVE ENTIRE MEMORY to: (and created a new folder). But it won't give me an option to save it to a folder.

Any ideas?

it won't "give you the option" of saving to a folder... you need to move your cursor over the folder you've created and then manually save your files into that folder... this isn't rocket science here.
