Hows it goin everybody Im new to the forum and also new to the 303. I recieved the 303 off ebay about 3 days ago and have been using alot ever since then. Heres the problem

I was pretty deep on this one beat just messing around creating a pattern and all of a sudden it stops and 3 red lights blink and now almost half my samples play for about 2 seconds then have a loud pop or click noise afterwards and it just continues that way.... The only thing I could guess it might would be overuse but that kinda blows has anybody else had this problem and or know how I can get my samples back to normal?

you should initilize your card and re install your Operating system.

that happened with my 303 when I had one, it broke later on. Idk what was wrong with it but it broke cause I turned it off and on twice when the memory card corrupted. Careful and have fun 8)

I have a card reader too is it possible to update the o.s by downloading off the web then putting on the card. then loading back into the sp?

it looks like your problem may be your 128 card, the 303 was designed for 64 MB, i would recommend switch to the 32 MB card asap, before you break her.

Yeah I've had the same exact problem but it's gone away now. I thought it might have something to do with the card being too full but who knows. I wouldn't sweat it that much
