i going to get a larger storage card this week, specifcally cause my melody loops are taking alot of space- what i love a about the 1000 is that u can record your sound module outputs and save it in a program(which i call "loops")than work around your existing drums are create a new drum pattern thats better.
Anyways i cant decide if i should get 128mb or 256mb?

since i use autoload, 128mb should be the ideal since this is the max memory.. anyone have any good techinques that will benefit from the 256. i assume if u dont use autoload then 256 is great because u can load more sounds. is the only way for me to load another 128mb of sounds is to turn off autoload, power off/power on, then load the whole new folder??? any ideas ?

cant you just have like one card that has say 256 or 512 then when it gets full save to cpu?

I'd go for 256, since that gives you space to save the whole 128megs of memory, AND scrap/work in progress sounds or a whole backup/variant of the whole set.

If you only have one 128meg card, there will be more and more hassle with file/card shuffling as you get close to the card limit.

That's my thinking when I got the 256. :) And the price difference isn't all that much either.

I think I would go for a 256, I don't think they are much more expensive than a 128 anyway. I haven't seen to many 1 or 2 gig cards around, but I bet those are expensive.

The MPC 1k uses Compact Flash type II right?
