Upgrading OS

Ok, so i just got my 5000 yesterday, I got my CF card from work today and im about to upgrade the OS but when I go to save everything I cant figure out how to move the files in the ROM folder to my computer to backup. So if I update my OS are the ROM files affected cause when I hit [F2] Save Button there is no ROM button to EDIT > COPY > MOVE or w/e. I dont want to lose my synth presets and all the AKAI sounds... so can anyone let me know whats up?

Come on someone, I dont want to do anything until Im sure if I update the OS the files in the ROM folder will be save!

Updating the OS will not erase your presets. Enjoy the 5000! I know I am. If they add the features we have listed on the forums. This will be THE machine to have.

Yo thanks man, your a angle. Ill post up a beat in a mintue once I can save it and find out how to make it a .wav... but ill figurea ll that out. thanks again man.

Teknokeyz,

That´s a safe tip from High198. I had the same doubt when I was to update my 5k OS but took the risk and fortunately everything is fine.

Diegoeskryptic,

I use diferent brands and types of CF cards and they all work perfectly. I have four with different storage capacity each.

Here is a reference of one of them:

Another reason I went ahead and got the 2G... I had heard that was the biggest you can use. Im sure you can use bigger though.

try to and let us know

I previously created a topic for CF cards compatibility & some claimed they were able to use 4 gb CF cards on the MPC
