4GB COmpacT FLASH IN the MPC1000??

I juss bought a sandisk 4gb compact flash and inserted it in my mpc 1k. I go to the record mode and press window to check how much sample time i have now with the 4 gb but it still says "16 MB" installed" showing that i still only have 55 seconds of recording time. SO what do i have to do to get the mpc to read that i have a new Card in it ?? THX

cf cards don't provide more sample time, they are for storage/saving. if you want more sample time, you need to purchase a ram expansion. check the stickys in the 1k forums.

o alrite, i see now, one more question though., if i expand my hard drive to 128 mb, how much sample time do you think that comes out to be??

23m28s mono, half that for stereo.

HARD Drive is not imcresed Sample time RAM is

alrite, .. so all i need to buy is the hard drive, put it in, format it, and its done, correct? and the mpc only reads up to 128mb right? so i cant get like a 2gb hard drive or somethin

no. you need 128mb of ram. hd is optional, but does not increase sample time.

o , ok, so what type of stores carry RAM, can i find them in stores like BestBuy, Circuit City??

how about doing some research?
