Today a strange thing happened as I was creating a new keygroup while in Controller Mode. As I went to save the Program (Keygroup), it saved it on my hard drive, but when I looked in the folder, it actually hadn't saved anything.

I later looked on the MPC touch screen and saw that My Computer had a crossed over Pen symbol next to it, suggesting write protected. Same with the internal SSD.

I tried a few times and it always appeared to save, no error messages, but also no files created.

I then started to get worried that I might lose all my autosampled data so I saved a project too, since I know that will save all/any keygroups in it too, and this time I picked the Desktop folder (MacOS) and finally the project saved it along with the keygroup. I could then copy/paste the keygroup from within the Project folder into my Keygroup folder.

Any idea why this happened? Later on I started MPC2 again and had zero issues with saving again. Yesterday I was able to save several keygroups without any issues, too.
