Loading and Saving

I have a feeling I'm being a bit stupid, but....

I basically am hoping to use my mpc as a live sampler, no loops or sequencing. I have made about 10 different programme files, all with 3 or 4 different samples designated to pads....

soooo...I plug the MPC into my comp and load all the different folders with the .PGM files and the samples onto the memory card...

Am I right in thinking then that I have to load each and all of these files onto the MPC everytime I turn it on? And if these folders together are bigger than the internal memory then I can't use them all at one time?

I'm not sure if any of that makes sense but I'm more than happy to explain in more detail. Hope this isn't to stupid of a question but have searched here and all over the manual


thanks very much in advance...

Get a Compact Flash card, 2GB. Load all program files and the samples on the card in 1 folder. Make sure the CF card is in the MPC and set the folder with the programs & samples to autoload. (The autoload function is in the manual.)

obviously though, your maximum at one time is 128MB if you have the memory expansion installed. you can't load 2GB of samples/sequences.

True Dat!

aaaah ok. think it all makes sense now. cheers

so i can only autoload the amount of samples that the internal memory can hold....

roughly what would that be/ how can i increase it?

thanks very much

sorry misread that. how do i go about getting the memory expansion?

check the stickys in the MPC1000 forum, there's one called MPC1000 RAM and CF card recommendations, clue's in the title.

ha just saw that and was coming back here to say

cheers
