Ice Cream and Ice Cream 2 throw an error "error loading". I can see some some changes to the sequence length a beat laid out for a split second on Ice Cream before it all disappears and throws the error. Ice Cream 2 just shows a change to sequence length but nothing laid for a split second before it too throws an error.

Iced Cream loads and plays just fine when I first loaded it up but if I reload it again or reload it after trying to load another project it exhibits the same behavior you described and only plays for a second. Closing the MPC2 software and reloading Iced Cream allows it to play fully again.


Thanks for checking. So in the software is showing errors but slightly different and the renamed one is also borked, but also differently.

The file must be corrupted in some way.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look for me. I really appreciate people lending a hand when they don't have to! :worthy:

No problem. I edited my previous post but I was getting more funky behavior on the Iced Cream project after trying it again but once it works it seems to work alright at least.

Loaded up ICED, no errors.
Pressed PLAY START and it played as expected.
I let it play through the entire 32 bars.
No errors as it loops back to the beginning and starts over.

If there’s no error, what am I supposed to look for?
I’m on mpc x w/ os v2.11.2.

I checked LIST EDIT on all 8 tracks, every tick on every track, I used ALL view and I saw nothing out of the ordinary.


My suggestion is to start a new blank project.
Browse to ICED, import one by and play.
Pgm
Seq
Mid
Project

…..and by process of elimination you might find which file is corrupt.
This method has worked for me 100% of the time since my 2kxl days, 20yrs ago.
