Just curious; I don't have a 1K, and know little about them, but for those of you with your mpcs expanded to 128MB...

Man even when I ran my 2KXL with 32mb I never came clsoe to filling that. 128mb??? Naww,, never.. not even close. I dont see how someone couls use all that unless they are loading libraries and libraries of sounds at one time, but who uses all that unless you straight jacking long ass samples, or building some crazy orchestoral piece.

the reason its important is you can resample and save beats with 128mb. If you record it some other way its not an issue really

i have made remixes using the vocals as trigger points on the pad along with the beat, and barely hit 100mb.

if i am just making a beat, the most i have ever used was 60-70mb. thats a lot of sound libraries too.

My live set currently clocks in at 110 Mb.

My beats usually take 15-20 megs, but when I work on instrumental tracks I use maybe 30-40.... Not even close to the 128 MB, but it feels very liberating to know that there is no problem to load up additional percussion or something if I should need it.

its true i hadfly ever use all the available space but this is due to having a 2000xl and having to be careful with how much ram i use so i still keep the same work ethic. but its good for when i need to use it.
been a few times when it tells me i'm only allowed 64 samples or suttin like that.

My songs are about 4-5 meg, and that includes programs when I don't even use all the sounds. But to me the advantage is being able to load accapellas, and load up about

The most used so far has been 60-70MB consisting of an instrumental mixdown from Cubase SX + the MPC 1000 drum samples which rarely take up more than a few MB's.

I've used just over 110 Meg for live gigs at one time. Then I started taking the 256 Meg S5000 with me.

I use around the half for my current liveset.
