I 've had my 1000(os 2.1) for like 7 months now, and i've only had a few strange things happen --the saving bug-the REFRESH post(go up to save to field and change to int. mem than back to mem card(or hard drive-if u got 1), and i had this weird thang where i was in step edit and went back to the main window, and my sequences name wasnt SEQUENCE 6...it was %^&$#*(_:{}" what dafuccc.... i just deleted the sequence and reloaded from cf card-and i was back to cool....hasnt happened again ....But today i went up into tha attic(where tha lab is) and i turned my MPC on for the 1st time since last nite.....and my autoload didnt load up...the owners name(that replaces MPC 1000 16mb(or 128mb)RAM Installed) said DEMO MODE ##MB installed..... all my settings(MIDI/Sync,MISC,Ft Switch,Effects,everything was all crazy whack funky......so i turned it off and then back on...same thing again.....so i looked in the manual and found how to go back to factory settings..(Erase and power on) and that worked, i powered on and off and used 2 different autoloads from 2 differnt cards plus loaded from internal memory for a total of 5 times and everything was normal....what was going on....Has any1 else experienced this? what does this? My MPC is the blue/red that came with os 1.07 from the factory........... Please help me....now im all noid about my MPC...i aint got tha loot to cop a new one, nor do i want to ship it out for service, dont waqnna be with out my baby--and i dont trust ups or usps---UPS shipped my REC/ODub and Play/Plstart buttons and a LCD window from VST and they left the box on my front porch in tha snow and the box was smashed..they aint even knock on the door.....

can anyone read that?

By CrateBandits1 Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:30 am
sorry 4 tha sloppy post, but i had to get it out...and git back to bizness... At least its in ENGLISH and is spelled correctly, also im not some 13 yr old idiot asking How to chop samples and make something hot? or What sample is this? and it be some blatant lift of 'Jungle BoogiE" or better yet "more Bounce to the Ounce"!! I edited the post so its easier to read....Sorry for jumpin on u , but I see too many people asking semi-intelligent questions and someone who dont know anything jumps in and snubs them....

one of the best ways to make your posts more readable is to break em into paragraphs rather than one daunting long post...

people have reader fatigue where they are less likely to finish reading a huuuuuge block post...just a friendly suggestion.

example - look at a newspaper. 1 sentance paragraphs

also observe the posts of user MPC4000xl

and this post, right here.

wasn't that easy to read?

peace

yo could someone tell cratebandits how to do a factory reset? i forget...

By CrateBandits1 Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:19 am
Yo i got tha factory rest, thats how i got myself out of the problem i had . The "DEMO MODE" bug imma call it, unless someone else already named it! Thanx for the post suggestions, too... I wish everyone was as friendly,helpful,and patient as you, dogg. Oh and BTW if anyone needs to know how to do the factory reset its-Press and hold ERASE while Powering on, when Welcome note(MPC 1000 16(or 128)MB Installed appears on screen release erase button, let MPC load and Boot up, then powewr off then back on again.....
