that was really helpful - very glad this is possible!

also -- is it possible to backup the compact flash onto a PC with all the assigned samples on the right pads, etc?

thanks!

Folks,

Trying to find my way around the device.

Is there a way to edit a pattern once it's been written to a pad? Specifically, overdub or delete pads?

Could not find this in the manual. Seems like it's obvious and should be there.... but then again....

Folks,

I posted in another thread, i picked up both the mpc 1000 and the 555 recently. after a few days with both, i have to say i am really glad i got the mpc, and not convinced about the 555 (if this keeps up i may end up selling it!).

i sort of got what you were saying.

I was able to format the compact flash card. it happened very quickly. i was able to write a loop to it also... but again, my computer cannot see it. is it supposed to see it as a separate drive? or just through the wave converter?

Question - if a card is not compatible, does it mean that the computer won't see it? i picked up a "recognized" card from Sweetwater, and the computer doesn't see the card at all -- have reinstalled the driver, etc.

I guess my question is if a card is not compatible, how do you know? and would ...

Years back I had an MPC 3000 and loved it (it was stolen from me), and since I've been moving towards software sequencing. Since I use computers all day for work, and also all night for music, I've been starting to get carpal tunnel -- which promted the desire to get a drum machine / sequencer ...
