You might have maxed-out your RAM, possibly. This happened to me a few times, and my MPC almost became airborne. Part of it was because I wasn't saving correctly. Before you are done, clear out (Delete) any samples that you are sure you don't want or need. Also, if you had started with an original sample, and then chopped it into several more (i.e. Sample2, Sample3, etc.) make sure that you don't need that long, initial sample, and get rid of it. Follow the instructions, save everything as a Project, which makes things much easier, and save frequently. Also, one of the sample .WAV's could be corrupt. It only takes a little bug to shyte on an ill beat. I hope it works out for you.

used to have the same problems with my 2500 too. you just got to suck it up and keep moving.

try loading the sequence you saved, then each program separately w/samples, you might be able to find which program is fVking up. if you find a bad program try loading individuals samples to find a culprit.. usually an internet sample.
