Maybe you used up all the ram in your machine and aren't able to assign any more samples.
The manual will tell you how to assign samples, it will tell you how to find out how much ram you have in
your machine as well.

Turn the machine off and on, it will not remember anything.

i've done it a few times, but no changes so far. the machine says that scsi is not ready.

Are you trying to load sounds from a SCSI device?

Make sure that you plug in the SCSI device to the MPC only when both the SCSI device and the MPC are off.
Turn on the SCSI device before you turn on your MPC.

If this doesn't work, double check the SCSI ID to make sure it is correct and double check the cabling to make sure everything is connected.

Hotswapping SCSI devices on an MPC can lead to bad things -- the easiest of which to fix is the internal SCSI fuse -- which is only easy if you know how to or know someone who solders.

i've used this scsi device for a few months and it has been in fully working order. isn't it possible that i have changed some setting accidentally and this can cause the trouble, because it isn't possible to load samples from floppy discs either.

the memory has been maxed out, so that shouldn't be a problem. i don't know about the flashrom board, but earlier i could assign samples to pads without problems. the only error is 'scsi is not ready', but my mpc has always shown this.
