Freeze during recording/sequencing playback.

Ive had this happen about a dozen times since i got the 500. I would record samples from my synth into the mpc, then sequence it and go back to record again, but it usualy freezes when i either stop the sequence loop or start it up again after recording.

also the sequence that i recorded would be erased after i sample again. I would email akai but they havent responded yet. i have the latest os too.

upgrade your RAM to 128MB and double check that you've got OS 1.31

^^ cosign on that badboy. Ever since the 128 upgrade I haven't froze once. I don't know if thats the real solution bt it worked

i got the ram upgrade and latest os, so it may not be that, but it always freezes when the green play light is lit, so it must be an error with sequencing.

Try and re-create the error. You may be able to find which step in your workflow caused it to happen and eliminate it or find a away around it.

It could be an OS bug, or it could be that a sample is corrupt. Or something random we don't know and never will.

For example I had a sequence I was working on that froze all the time and I couldn't figure it out. I re-created it and it turns out I kept trying to record another sample to a track while the sequence was playing, and that caused it to crash. Once I recorded the track with the sequence not playing it didn't crash.

I don't understand WHY, but it works.
