Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I got to understand a lot of things but I still have a problem. I work with hardware midi. Sequencing my expanders, sound modules. I try to save on the card but always loose my work. The indications, in english only are not very clear for me.
If someone could simply explain how to save and load my sequences and songs ...

As you can see on the page you advice me to go, I wrote that even after reading these indications, I couldn't understand.
I save All seq and songs but it always asks me things after that and I don't know what to do.
I tried all the ways possible. I switch off, switch on, load and nothing is on the card, if I go to my computer, nothing either on the card.

Save Entire Memory works for me. Choose Project and press Do It. When the 500 asks you to ''Replace File'' select either yes or no.

Yes means the 500 will save your work and overwrite the existing data. And if you loaded your work into the 500 to edit samples (start, end points, pitch, etc), then select Yes to save the editing.

No means the 500 will not save your work with the same file name, so you'll have to create a new file name and then select Yes for the new file. But if you loaded your work into the 500 just to edit the program and want to save that, then select no.

After picking Yes or No press do it and you're done.

At Loading select your project file and press do it. When it says ''Do It will clear entire memory'', that means it will clear all memory on the 500 to make room for your project, so save any previous work to prevent loss before pressing Do It.
