Basically had my first hot club beat for a project, basically 4 tracks of drums

1 Track running to 2 external modules, stacking the sounds, on that track also was alot(ALOT) of ribbon and joystick(pitch stick) for 4 bars, I tried to copy 4 more bars to try out a switchup on the 8 and was getting ready to save and go to sleep than blam.......

This is the first time, I've crashed my 4k, and I'm using 1.51, hopefully this helps someone else, if you got hot shit save it :(

I've seen this before..F#CK!!! I've lost the bassline.After that i'm always savin' my work after any addition (sample or seq).Stay strong!

This happened to me in the sample list screen.I just removed the samples that were causing it and everything was ok.WEIRD.

ICEBURG,i recreated the crash by scroling to the last unsaved sample in the sample list screen, it was a sample i forgot to name so by defalt it said sample 56, so i just erased it and it stoped crashing.Mp's get weird somtimes i feel your pain of loosing stuff it's happened to me on the 2kxl.save save save.

Id feel pretty stupid, if I hit my mpc and it broke

Not only would I be out of a song, I'd be out of a machine to make songs on :(

^ ya its cool though, cause where that song came from will be another, just the reminder to where I get something to a certain point, Ill remember to save, I'll be even more upset if it was a complete song
