Chapter 1: Introduction
RAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a space where you can load sounds or data temporarily. The MPC1000 comes with 16
MB (megabyte) of RAM that can record up to 136 seconds (monaural recording). The MB is a unit that represents the size
of the memory. With the optional EXM128, you can increase your memory to 128MB.
The data loaded in the RAM will be deleted when you turn off the MPC1000. If you wish to save your recordings, you
need to save on a memory card, or transfer the data to PC through USB.
Memory Card
The MPC1000 has a 32MB compact flash memory card. Compact Flash is a memory that is called “Flash Memory” .You
can save the data on the flash memory like RAM, but the data will remain after you turn off the unit. By saving the
recordings in the MPC1000’s RAM on the Memory card, you can save the data after you turn off the MPC1000. Please
note that the MPC1000 cannot play back the data directly from a memory card. You have to load the data from a card to
RAM to play back. There are several kinds of flash memory cards, but MPC1000 uses “compact flash” memory cards.
