Hi Guys

I have been on MPC X 2.6 software for an eternity and thought today was the day that i would upgrade to 2.10 (Software and firmware).

Major problem now is that I cannot save any projects lol when i do this i get an error message come up on screen saying "Error saving MPC Project".

I am at a loss here or am i missing something, please help many thanks Karl.

After updating to 2.10, did you go under your Preferences and do a "reset"? This is strongly recommended. Also, what are you trying to save to?

OK, so you're in Controller Mode - is this on PC or MacOS? Have you tried saving your Project directly from your MPC Software? Are you sure this isn't a folder rights issue on your computer?

Problem solved, remove any special characters in file directory path my folders was called **Beats** and is now called just beats with no stars, all working perfectly.

Thanks for the help.

to be on the safe side, dont use special characters in the filename either. This fixed the issue for me.

What if you don’t have any special characters and you still can’t save to projects? Menu- Save- - Projects-Error?

He's probably tryin to save his projects to the Internal Drive which is probably Full?
