hey guys i got a big problem, when i want to make a quick beat with the song mode, that doesn't work. when i play the built song in song mode itself, the mpc plays to whole song, that's what it is supposed to do, but when i convert the song to a seqenze, the mpc only plays the first sequence from that song, after having played that first sequence, the mpc keeps on playing the song (i see it on the display), but with no sound anymore. whutkanido? i'm using the 1.3 patch or whatever we call that thing. pz guys

one more thing: does anyone know where i can get the first os from? (1.00)? i had nearly no problems with dat, but now i got like problems all the time i'm working with my mpc, men, i can't believe it. sometimes when i want to delete a bar, there's like a "bluescreen" in windows, or even when i want to delete a step. and if you save "ALL SEQ AND SONGS" that doesn't work either, it only saves one sequence.
and to the song mode: the problem i described in the first post only happens when i got a lot of tracks, i don't know exactly, but i tested it: i made a sequence with more than 12 tracks and one with only 1 track. in the song mode i made two songs: the first song just repeats twice the "grand" sequenze (with 12 tracks). that don't work. it don't repeats the sequence after having converted it into a new sequence. but building a song with a "small" sequence works. it repeats as often as i want. this problem also occures when i copy bars "by hand" into an existing sequence. for example, i got an 12 track sequence and i want to add some bars to it in SEQ EDIT. i checked all the settings to be correct, but after having pushed DO IT, the sequenze is longer indeed, but the events in the copied bars are not copied (sounds a bit weired, sorry :S ). i know this is a lot to read, but i would be really happy if someone could help me. i love this machine but since i have all these problems my nerves are very stressed because i'm working for hours FOR NOTHING. today for example i had to do the same work three times because the mpc didn't save all the sequences and because of the other two problems i described..... damn **** it
