sounds not there in the morning (mpc question)

[The Bastard]

so ya i just bought the mpc 1000 my first mpc it seems cool i made sum phat drum loops and saved all songs n sequences or whatever onto the media disk but if i turn off the unit and turn it back on the sequence file will load from the card fine but no sounds will be played ,the sounds are also on the card,can sum1 help

Well I haven't messed with the 1000, but did you save the whole thing as a sequence?

 

[Cold Truth]

all that would do is save the sequence file.

did you save the actual .wav files as well? you should have saved a program file as well.

you have to save seq. and prog. files. if you remember where your sounds where placed load the seq, place the samples on the correct pads and press play, if everything sounds right then give the drum program a name and save it.

The MPC is smart... but it isn't Genius... it is only as smart as youtell it to be... you can save all sounds or you can save all sounds and programs... you can save everything seperate... or you can just save all songs and sequences... it can be very confusin, but if you just look into the crazy logic of the thing it starts to make sense... sometimes you have changed your sequences but your sound programs have not changed... so no need to save that again but you should save your new sequences... DAMN MPC FILING SYSTEMS!!! you will eventually figure it out

what i do is open a new folder, name it the same as the sequence and save the seq. and prog. in there along with the samples. when i first started i lost alot of bangers due to my wack ass filing system at the time.

tip: (remember this, cuz ur gonna do it, i guaruntee it, and it will hurt) if you are working on a song, and decide you need a certain sound in another folder, dont forget to switch back to your original folder... cuz when you go to save your program and sequences, and you didnt switch, you will delete the other song.. i've done this like 3 times, like a dummy.. mpc2000xl, but i'm sure the 1000 has a similar file system

my shits so messy the only way i secure myselkf is by saving everything that i possibly can
