Hey, I've been using the 2000 classic since around 03. I bought and sold a few on and off for various reasons but i never had any problems with them. They were always good and sturdy!
I recently bought one off ebay after nearly 10 years of not making music so i can get back on it.
I was mad excited to say the least! I had like 3/4 shoe boxes of floppy disks and zip disks to go through and sort to make a beat tape im working on.
Here's my problem!
Whenever i go to the mixer screen it just scrambles.
Loading full disks of progs AND beats / sequences keeps saying insert next disk, like it can't find the sounds. I can however load them individually SOMETIMES!?
The sampler seems slow at respondong to commands like when i press "do it" button for loading up stuff etc.
I've installed effects board and 8 outs etc before and i know my way round the sampler but this seems odd to me, i feel it's a bit poorly and needs maybe a good going over?
Now some of these disks are nearly 17 years old so i thought maybe the floppy disks had seen their last days, even though they been stored well and not near any strong magnetic stuff etc.
I noticed that i was provided with OS 1.72 and i seem to remember there was an issue with that, and the 1.70 was better?? My disk of 1.70 doesnt load either and the OS of that didnt seem to respond much better when i loaded it from an old ZIP. I tried copying the OS on to a disk and that didn't work either?!
ANY help appreciated as I really need this right now, im going mental same as everyone else in these weird times and this is a much needed escape for me.
I live on the south coast of england between brighton and portsmouth so if anyone knows of ANYTHING or ANY ONE that could help that would be a life saver.
