are you trying to load MP3 files or something other than [16bit 44.1 khz] WAV files??

Other requirements: they need to be 16 characters long or less, including the .wav extension.
There's probably also a restriction on what symbols can be in the name.

now that i think about it... FILE NOT FOUND probably means you're loading programs that or sequences that are missing the samples..... are you saving your beats correctly? are you creating a new folder for each new beat you make? and saving ENTIRE MEMORY into that folder? and when loading, highlight the folder and load the folder... also press the CLEAR button when loading to clear all files in memory. that's probably what's going on here...

thanks for the responses crossings, its the sounds i put on my hard drive that are saying file not found i haven't use them because they won't let me select them. im saving my beats correctly and making folders for them. But the clear button info i really needed that i was turning the mpc off an on to clear the previous sequences thanks man.

sciguy thanks for your input too im gonna try in delete some letters and symbols on the files that dont work and i'll get wit the results

yeh means your programs not loading samples. IF you make a program either save the samples with it or make sure to load the samples before to loading the program.

a few kits i had purchased once had same issue, is was because the program was saved without the samples, so i had to load the samples before loading the program. the work around i used was simply loading it all up and then saving "program and samples" to a new folder.

sounds like you have it covered though.
