Hi all, I hope this is helpful...
I just spent the past 5 hours pulling my hair out and cursing because whenever I tried to load anything onto my 512Mb CF card I would get a "disk is full" warning, even though there were well over 400Mb of free space on the CF card.
Finally figured out that the reason was that the MPC 1000 can only manage a limited number of files on it's root level.
All this means is: Let's say you have 100 files and as you try to load new files you get the "disk is full" error...
Now take some of your samples that are already on your MPC, let's say you take 10 samples chopped from a led zeplin song, and put them into a single folder called "led zep".
Now your MPC is only dealing with 91 files on the root level (the remaining 90 & the new "led zep" folder). At this point you can load 9 more samples or programs or whatever you want.
Obviously, it would be best at this point to load new samples and programs in folders to conserve the number of files used!
Please note: I used these numbers to explain the concept, I do not know the exact number of files that the MPC can manage. Also, since I just discoverd this, I'm wondering if anyone has a good way of managing their sample library. All you experienced members, please let me know what you've found to be the most efficient way of cataloging. Thanks!!
