What's good, people,

I have a problem, it's driving me crazy, since i can't seem to figure out what's going on, check it out:

I've chopped a bunch of drumbreaks into one shot samples, naming them all correctly, so that i can make an autoload file containing Kick-programs, Snare-programs, etcetera.

After chopping everything up, i've made programs and put them in a folder on my internal HD. The size of this folder is 57,1 Mb. and it contains 1296 files. My previous autoload file folder was aproximately 80 Mb. and contained over 2000 files and there were no problems loading this.

Now here's my problem:

When i load everything into the internal memory, in order to make a template with all the programs assigned to individual tracks, the files that i load last (the last 4 or 5 programs) can be seen in the load screen. The samples also play back when i hit play.

However, when i'm in the mainscreen, the programs are shown, but the filenames are displayed with a ? in front of them and they only play back as clicks.

Looks like a case of insufficient internal memory, which is strange, because i have 128 Mb. installed.

Maybe i'm overlooking something, can someone please help me out here?

Thanks a millon!

(i'll send the genius that helps me fix my problem a zip file containing all the drum programs and samples, it's the 'all the breaks' collection (wav, not mp3) chopped up in one-shots).

1!

P.S. I'm running JJ OS 2 V.1.21. installing Akai OS and formatting my harddrive both didn't solve the problem.

Fist off I do not have JJOS but I do have Akai 1.24

Did you save it to a project? or Program? if so is it in the folder? IF it is move it out and load it manually.

Try that it may work. That has been a work aroundfor me

Take a close look in trim at the samples that are "clicks". Don't just go to loading them, look at them in a wave editor on computer. Are they 44khz/16bit wav? Look at the properties of EACH one. If you auto chopped them somewhere maybe the chop wasn't long enough and you are only getting 000.1 seconds of sample. You just autochopped and expected it to be perfect without even verifying the samples, no? yes?


LOOK at them and see.

Just for clarification how DO you pronounce your screen name...... lol.

Thanks for replying so quickly man!

I've checked everything a million times, they're 44khz/16 bit, i haven't autochopped them (i wish i had, it's taken me days to chop that shit up, lol...)

The strange thing is that i CAN play them back in load mode, but in trim mode, they're not even there, and, in the mainscreen, there's a questionmark in front of the filenames of the files that aren't there, so it seems like they're not even in the internal memory. When i load up a bunch of files, the last files have this problem, all of them, so it's not the files , it's something memory related. (at least that's what i think...)

Spell my name and you know how it's pronounced, lol....

P.s. the files work just fine in Audacity.

Sorry man, didn't see your post, Lampdogs golden letters blinded me..... ;)

This doesn't work, it doesn't load anymore files, it seems to be at it's max.
