Hi !
I've done my drum section by using overdub option..then I have wrote my bass lane by using overdub option again..
After that I've saved internal memory and switched off the unit.
When I switched that on and downloded that project,there was no any bass playing.. What am I doing wrong??

Sequence got 64 tracks,Track got 64 programs,Program consist of 64 PADS(sounds).... I really lost... Shame..

CAn anybody say where disappeared my bass lane? Please..

i aint got a internal harddrive, but this has happened to me only once b4 and i was jus dumbfounded. what happened was the bass sounds didnt load up. the sequence was still ther, so all i needed to do was load up the same bass sound and, bangin the butta sun, all is well, but that was for
me, and i aint sure that urs is the same, b8ut try it out anywayz

Yeahh... But shame- I've got my HDD,and I've got about 20 GB samples on It....And you know...It's not easy to find those samples again...I don't even remember where did i load It from...I mean the Folder...
to be honest...I actually agree to share my samples with someone else...I've got them a loads and I know U MUST share the things.... It a very good for everything even for your karma....
BUT I also want to get the information bout my MPC(kinda courses)coz\ I've got not anougth time to sit with a manual...


If anybody fancy.. :roll:

obviously samples are WAV..

Wait, wait, wait....before we start talking bout karma and stuff.... :wink:

Where did you save your project to? Sure it was the internal memory (flash memory) ? Did you save Entire Memory? In that case your bass sample should be there alright. If you did not save it along with the sequence data, then no wonder it doesn't play back when you load it up.

"It's not easy to find those samples again"

and this is why you always name your shit, organise ur stuff properly if your serious bout your music. which makes me wonder, this could b your problem. if you have a ton of samples that are all named sample 1, sample 2, sample 3, sample 4 etc, and thats all you name your samples, then your mpc is gonna be confused when it is asked to open two samples that are named sample 4. if this occurs, then they are both cancelled out or only one of the sounds will work.

Well in that case the sample should be in the folder you saved it too, along with all the others. So if you didn't use like 50 different bass samples it should be easy to find again.

try going into the folder where the project is and just loading the bass program by itself. If the samples are there it will load.

you can also search your drive through the usb port , hook it up to your computer and do a search of that drive.
