MPC Crashing after loading files...

I just recently started having a problem with my MPC. After loading the files from a folder off of the zip, I can play the sequence and sounds that are there immediately after it loads, but when I switch to another sequence or bank, the screen shows all of these strange numbers and nothing will play and the pads/keys lock up.

I have to eject the disc, and re-boot. Then the screen will read "Please insert MPC2000xl disc" Luckily I had a backup of the .bin file on a floppy and installed it. That temporarily fixes the problem. However, I only seem to have this problem with this particular folder on that zip disc. I tried loading a diff. .aps and .all from a diff. folder, and I have no problem.

I just recently installed the eb-16 and am not sure if this was causing the prob. as I have some effects applied to sounds in the folder that is giving me problems.

Any ideas??? thanks in advance...

Sounds like you have a corrupted file / OS is corrupted.

I have in the past attemtped to open up individual wav files in
Sound Forge and that way I found which ones were corrupted.

If an OS re-install doesn't help I would try to find the file(s) that are corrupted.

Also, try loading a song that has none of those same sounds in it. If it still happens then it could just be the OS.

try updating the OS. if you have the latest os already, try redownloading it.

try that...

good luck man.

damn lamp your quick wit it!!! you beat me to it lol.

I can burn up a keyboard (Triton or PC type).

haha i know thats rite. i wanna be like you when i grow up.

Nah, not like me. You are there already.

Since I found this thread in the archives I thought I would bring it back since I am having a problem like this. When I load up samples on my 2000 from my internal drive( 3.5, not a zip) my screen turns into mush, looks kind of like a wave went through it. It doen't freeze up, it's just very hard to read. From reading the first post it sounds like an os issue, but I just want to be sure.

When I removed the scsi zip drive and connected it later, sometimes the MPC has the "freeze" problem when I am trying to load from zip. The answer for the problem for me is to turn off the MPC, turn off the ZIP, turn on the ZIP and when I now turn on the mpc I can load from zip without probs.

its the files your loading up...they are more probably corrupted. this has happened to a few times.

I was leaning towards a file issue, but now my problem is that the bad file is my os. I don't suppose I could float someone some loot for a copy of os 1.72 on a zip. I've tried to do it off my computer, but seems like the MPC and the mac don't see eye to eye.
