Well.. I just wanna know, let's say i made one beat.. How do i save it? I don't wanna use my MPC to the computer, so.. >< Where shall i save it?

Can you save it ON the MPC?
Or do you save it, on some flash card..?

Some sort of external device.If you have a zip/jaz drive or hd,that would be your best bet.Floppies can only save very little info so to save a whole beat would take you through a few floppies.

omg, anyway.
storage options are:

cf, floppy, zip, scsi hd
internal hd (not all mpc's can do this)
usb (not all mpc's can do this)

everything has a usb port nowadays. thats one plus about that 1000

go to the save menu, and 'save entire memory'. then u can turn your mpc off with no worries.

then you can load that file later and get back the same song you had.

but if u didn't buy a larger flash card then the included one, you might have to.

It's not much cheaper than the 2k or xl.

Most people i know copped it because of the u.s.b and portability.
