Chapter 15 : Save / Load
The sample or sequence data you made in the MPC1000 will be deleted when you turn off the unit. If you wish to keep the
data, you need to save it to a memory card. You can use the saved files again by loading them into the MPC1000.
About a memory card
The MPC1000 can use the memory card called “compact
flash”.The MPC1000 comes with one 32MB (megabyte) com-
pact flash card. You can use any memory card that supports
compact flash.
Tips: MB indicates the size of the memory card. The larger this
number is, the more data you can store.
Note: The size of the compact flash card that MPC1000 can handle
is from 32MB to 2GB.
Note: When you use a new compact flash card with with the
MPC1000, you need to format the card before use it. For more
information about formatting the card, see the “Formatting the
memory card” section on page 97.
