MPC5000 reviews, bug reports and fellow user support on the most recent standalone, hardware MPC from Akai

Hi guys,

I created a sequence in which I used a single note of the Grand Piano program available for free at the Akai site. I saved the song, but obviously this saved all the samples from the GP program. Not only are all these sampled notes unneeded, but they take forever to save them all (as well as to load them later). I'll end up creating a new program using just the sampled notes I need, but was wondering if there is an abort feature for the save (or load) operation.

Thanks,

hayoo

PS. I think that loading that GP program hogged all the memory. From all I could tell, it left me with 3 seconds of sampling time. Not positive this wasn't a user error, but it was irritating. =\

Yes, I get that. What I'm asking about is an abort operation should I find myself in a huge save from "Entire Memory".

I accidentally discovered when loading a whole folder, that I could abort the operation by holding down the STOP button. I'm not near my box right now to test for sure, but it seems logical that holding the STOP button in the middle of a save operation might also have the same behavior.

Having the same problem, unfortunatly the stop trick doesn't work when you are saving.
Had to switch my MPC off and back on (hope this doesn't do any damage to my HD)
