SAVING PROBLEMS ON THE 500 is the 2500 better

it looks like the 500 is fidley to save things on as sometimes i make a quick beat and want to work on it later but it save the samples and sequence not in the folder so i went and got a new 2500 to day is the saving better on that

create folder > save all samples > save all programs > save all songs and sequences... thats what I do JUST incase.

I use jjos, don't know if its any different on the normal akai OS though, someone on here will be able to help you if not.. but the process is pretty straight forward......... kind of a weird question

oh and RTFM

yes i did try to do that but when i look on the cf card on my pc it saved all the files out of the folders so there is wav files all over the place i just orderd a 2500 the last one in a DJ shop the 500 is a bit confusing becasue of the screen size this is the only problem i have

Should've stopped by the forums first and gone to the MPC comparison tab first before buying, personally I would never suggest anyone buying a 500. I know a couple dudes that use it, but only when they're touring for a quick flip. I don't think it should be a STAPLE in your studio though... but yes... you made the right choice buying the 2500.

If you toss it into your PC with just a CF reader it will all be out of order, I don't know the solution for that problem.

can you explain this ?? If you toss it into your PC with just a CF reader it will all be out of order

make sure your IN the folder when you save it

Yeah that's really the only explanation for what happened.

Hey at least you bought a fantastic machine in the 2500. And if you kept the 500 it will probably get easier to use after using the 2500. You'll probably have an easier time imagining the data that isn't on the smaller LCD from seeing it over and over on the larger LCD.

ok i did not know this i was thinking it did it automatically when you made the new folder i going sell the 500 as after 7 weeks the screen really is small and confusing really i wanted to get the 2500 at the start but did not have the money now i have the 2500 coming the 500 has to go neck hurts from trying to read the small screen

I love the 500.Cant imagine life without it.My music is greatly improved.

As far as saving,PAY ATTENTION

Name everything
After the initial save press SEQUENCE THEN RE ENTER SAVE MODE

Use data wheel to locate your folder or file then SAVE AGAIN.

Fool proof

yes ok what about if i loaded samples on to pads that are part of the SEQUENCE you see first when i work on a beat i load a drum program then i load extra samples like bass and a string sound on to empty pads then i make a beat then if i want to save it all the samples and SEQUENCE to load the next day its confusing i just wounder if the 2500 i got coming is better at saving then the 500 also you say Name every thing on the 500 i did name the SEQUENCE what else do i name the samples i load have a name

You bought a 2500 only because you didn't learn how to save properly on the 500 ??

Depends if you take the time to read the manual and test/practice/learn before you run buying another model.

I have read the REN is pretty good at saving

No, just kidding, DON'T get the REN.

But DO get JJosXL with your 2500.
