HELP! Loading sequences & programs at same time as one file?

Hi There,

I need someones expertise on this matter:) Here's the deal!

I run an MPC1000 with JJOS.1 4.99 version... I am a live drummer running Roland PD8 trigger pads with TMC6 Midi converter etc, now here is my dilemma.

I play to a click live which i have created as "SEQUENCE" Tracks and created my trigger samples as "PROGRAMS".

I load them both up seperately but really want to them to come up both at the same time so they're ready to go.

So, what i tried was saving them both in the "SAVE ALL SEQUENCES & SONGS (.pack) selection, name the file etc

Then when i reload them my click (Sequence) comes up fine and my samples (Program) loads also but it has " ? " in front of it ie ?CAUSE SAMPLES. This means the samples aren't loaded so i have to go in an load it manually.

I hope this makes sense to someone out there who can assist me in sorting this problem.

Appreciate y'all reading this.

Cheers,

Andrew

Make sure that you "Save Entire Memory”. in a specific folder.
Your samples, sequences, etc.. will also be saved to that folder.

AWESOME:) IT WORKED Thanks a million but one more question

Now when i try to load one after the other they seem to just overwrite each other? meaning when i turn the jogger wheel for the next file nothing appears it just stays on the 1st one selected??

Am almost there, this is already a godsend:)

cheers,

load the .prj (project file) in the folder you saved entire memory to.
This will load up all the samples, sequences, programs that was saved in the folder all at one time.


You can also save the entire memory to a folder named AUTOLOAD on your memory card,
and that will load up your project automatically when you turn on the mpc, as long as that memory card is inserted.

hey master ceo:) thx again but these files are saved in a folder that i'm not sure how to open to get to the .prj?

Again your amazing help is appreciated.

thx. A

mode+load navigate to project folder, use right arrow to open it to view the files inside, and at the top of the list should be a file named Project with a (.prj) extension, unless you re-named it, but it will still have the (.prj) extension and would still be at the top of the list.

You can re-name the Project file to any name you want to reflect the name of your song..

hey there, yep all good found them & renamed them as they are all listed as Project01 etc BUT when i try to load them (DO IT) for what i want to do as said in previous post it says " Pressing DO IT will clear entire memory"??? i am so close:(

More help is appreciated "again".

thx,

A

what that means is, if you load up that Project it will clear out anything already loaded in the mpc and load the Project fresh.

loading a project loads everything in that project folder, therfore whatever you loaded in the mpc before that, will be cleared to make room for the project you loaded.

if you load a .pgm, .wav or a sequence out that project folder you will not see that message. these files can be loaded without clearing ot whats already in the memory.

this is real basic stuff. you should read the FAQ at the top of this forum & then read the Akai and JJ OS manuals. all these questions are answered in there. if you don't at least read some of the basic info in the Akai manual you will keep getting stuck with every little thing.

Hi Sooty G, thx for your reply and yes i have read the manuals quite a few times on this sorry but not an expert "yet" forums are for those requiring extra helps from those willing to assist. thx

loading projects clears the memory.

If you want to play different songs when playing live, you should load up all these songs and save that as a project. If it exceeds 128mb then split the live show into two or three sections.

Another alternative is to have each track in its own folder and load the folder,this will load the seqs and pgms contained within.

Try these out they each have there own pros and cons.

you certainly do require extra helps, dont you?

sooty G mentioned the jjos manuals - make sure you read stans jj manual available from the sticky, not just the jj manuals on the big globe site




master-ceo, your infinite patience is admirable

its cool, thx for the replies! I'll keep tryin to work it out!
