Can anyone upload the Akai operating system version 1.23? I can't seem to find it anywhere online.
Thanks.

On another note, when I try to use the "extract" command on a ~ 7 minute sample, I get the error message: ""insufficient memory!!" even though I have the 128mb RAM upgrade and JJ OS tells me I have 44.8mb left (4 minutes, 26 seconds stereo!) on the flash memory. Is this normal?

Thanks again.

Damn, as much as I posted this one should think it can be found easily via the Search:

MPC 2500 OS 1.23

And yes, I guess when handling a 7 minute sample (!) it is normal to run out of memory. Take a look at how big that file is...I guess something around 70 MB? As a rule of thumb, you should have about twice as much memory available as the size of the sample when doing editing operations, or it will produce problems. My guess is the MPC tries to store a copy of the sample during the process, and in the case there's not enough RAM left for that, it aborts with an error.

How much memory you have left on your flash card has absolutely nothing to do with that.

Thanks, I ment to say internal memory. I guess I'll just trim it down before I load on the MPC.

Yes, I would definitely recommend that. There are frequently people here with that problem, and most of the time it's because they want to chop a whole song on the MPC. It is simply not made for that.
