my mpc one melted the sd card :o

I came down to get me a cold pop and I could smell somethin' BURNING.

So yeah i was kickin it recording stuff and all the sudden the strong smell of what i thought was a spliff at first but then realised hey thats my mpc doing that...

any one else have any device melt an sd card before? That's new to me.. i got the unit apart now gonna poke its guts with a multimeter to see WA HAPNT.

There’s something wrong with the ONE and connected drives and cards. I’ve documented my issues here before so won’t go into detail. Never had one burn like that but the one definitely doesn’t like to have storage connected to it.

Were you in controller mode?

Naw, i was working in stand alone. two synths into a analog rx1602 mixer, a ms70cdr on the master of the mixer into the mpc. maybe it created some weird ground fault of sorts. the sd card litetally smoked lol. i took the mpc apart inspected the little daughterboard. seems fine, i guess that sd card corroded and just shorted out and started to build up heat. Glad it didnt actually melt into the board.

my mpc one killed 2 SD cards, i move to USB SSD

Your beats are fire

ROFL Korzo!

I had a microsd "blow out" once - I've heard a pop and my MPC froze.
When I've opened it up I was met with this:

Oof @ dusty. Yeah i think the terminals corrode and they heat up and go nuclear lol

I found this, not sure if its glue or cap schmutz.. its relatively hard and rubbery...

that's glue, nothing to worry about, it's to dampen the vibrations when you hit the pads. This cap have venting slots on the top of it, so when it fails it will spray everything that's above / below it.

Yeah the top of that cap has a little x in it and its not puffy at all. Everything seems to be ok with the multimeter too. No fault of the machine it seems.

Cheap/off-brand/Chinese SD Cards can do this. Use high quality name brand SD Cards like SanDisk, Sony, Kingston, Samsung, etc.

my 2 where from Kingston

Well don't buy those

Sd cards die on me all the time, replace it with a 4k video standard one. Sounds like the card couldn’t handle the recording.

Even better to get 3.5 ssd with an adapter to usb but the 4k video cards should be able to handle the mpc work load
