I havethe mpc since 2 month, normally I produce tracks on pc, so the mpc is only for my live-act. So I have to rebuild all my tracks I play on party (electronic music), two tracks got killed (the sequences) 2 weeks ago, had no backup until then. Only saved on compact flash card...
No I got a harddrive too, yesterday, 4 hours before the party, my "all sequences"-sequences (my tracks one after another, just edited the ending and beginning of tracks) couldn't be loaded: "end of file", once again. I don't know what's that, I payed 1500 Euro for a hardware which ever kills my music ^^
The funny thing, I wanted to load the sequence ( from harddrive) to backup on compact flash... and then it was killed. I only had the sencond part of my set in backup... so I had to rebuild this set once again, which was not mcuh, cause I only had to load track after track and edit a little bit. But it was fukked up.
And my "main"-button don't work very well, have to push harder. And I really don't push hard on buttons and so on... really disappointing.
I really like the mpc, but all that's a little bit shitty, think I have to mail to akai the "end of file"-error... don't know how it happens...
