Hi All.


When attempting to save projects on MPC Live 2, I've been getting the following error message.

' /media/az01-internal-sd/MPC Documents/Projects/projectname.xpj '
The heading at the top of the screen says ' ERROR SAVING MPC PROJECT '.

This means I can no longer save new projects or changes to existing ones.

I figured the MPC was out of space because, even though I've only had it for a year, I've made tons of music on it.
So I've been going through old projects and deleting the ones I'm not attached to.

Despite deleting quite a few projects, I still get the same error message and can't save, no matter how small the new project or how small the changes are to an existing one.


I know another way of making space is to 'purge' unused samples, however because I'm unable to save projects this has no effect.


I'm starting to think the error message may mean something entirely different and be unrelated to space but I don't know.

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on?


Many thanks in advance and have a great day!

Like it's been said plenty of times before, it's in your best interest to not save personal files to the internal storage since it's so limited. Your best bet would be to buy an SD Card or install an SSD or HD into the expansion bay underneath the Live 2 and save your files to that drive, not the actual internal storage. Once you have the SD Card or SSD/HD installed, load up each individual project, save it to the new drive, and delete it from the internal drive. After doing that to all the projects you've saved internally, you should free up enough space you shouldn't get that error anymore. Just be careful not to delete any of the original demo styles and other system files that originally came on the internal storage.
