i was holding my breath when i did mine. i remember i touched the memory part by accident because it slipped when i was putting it in. the moment where i turned the mpc back on was a defining moment in my life.
probably almost 2 years ago, i had never installed ram before.
rough time, but the single most important thing you can do for your mpc is expand that mutha.
you never have to worry about sample space after that.
the world is your oyster.
