Saving Issue.

I tried saving a sequence and it wont load,comes up showing as,ALL_SEQ_SONG1 k9.ALL?

Im using a 1GB/CF card.

dont save as "save all sequences and songs" save as "save a sequence" which should be a .mid file - maybe that will work for you bette

are you trying to save or load the file? i dont get it.

by any chance did this happen after you put the card on your pc?

this happened to me with a floppy where it renamed some of my files with k9 on the end.

im not aware that the same happens with CF cards though.

my issue was with the program not wanting to load all the sounds because the snd files had been renamed to something else after i put my floppy in the pc. but i was still able to load the sounds individually instead of having them load automatically with the load program option. then i renamed them back to the original file name.

I just made a new beat,then I saved it just like this,

I turned off the MPC,then turned it back on,and loaded the ALL_SEQ file ,then I loaded the ALL_PGMS file and it worked perfect.

Now,After putting the CF card in my PC, then putting it back into the MPC the ALL_SEQ file wont load(like four eyes was saying)My PC is changing the file name,Why?

So,the solution to this is to manually change the ALL_SEQ file name when the CF card is in my PC?Should save the ALL_SEQ file MIDI,Like Benhoughton suggested?

Still lost here.

Thanks

I was kinda guessing it was cause the CF wasnt fomatted properly.

Thanks alot,I will formatt the CF card,I have all my drum kits backed up on this card aswell,ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SHIT!hah

Peace.

I formatted the CF card,then I made a beat and saved it the same way,put it back in the PC,then back to the MPC and it didnt work.

When I Save ALL Sequences & Songs,If I rename it ALL_SEQ_ it works,by default it asks you to save it ALL_SEQ_SONG1

i think its to do with the 8.3 filing system, your files gotta be 12345678.123 ie FATKICK1.SND

I put the CF card in my PC,The CF card opens up under My Computer/removable disk(H:)I right clicked it and went to format.Under file system it says FAT and FAT32,I used FAT.

sorry for not mentioning that,but i have it working

Save each new song and all it's bit and pieces in it's own folder and you'll be fine.

yeah plus this saves you hassle renaming all your stuff.

Instead of naming every sample, track program, sequence whatever... I just dump each beat in its own folder with sound1.snd etc and pattern1.mid and no troubles!
