A saved All file will be indicated by an icon in the file list block of the Load page.
Saving a single sequence
Here’s how to save a single sequence from the memory of the MPC4000 to a storage device.
1. Press the [SAVE] key.
The Save page will appear.
2. Move the cursor to the Type field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select SAVE SEQUENCE.
When you select SAVE SEQUENCE, the following parts of the display will change.
A Data list: Shows the data in the internal mem-
ory of the MPC4000.
B MIDI file type field: Selects the type of
sequence to be saved.
C Size field: Indicates the size of the data you
selected in the data list.
3. Move the cursor to the Disk field and turn the [JOG] dial to access the Disk List popup window.
4. Move the cursor to the storage device on which you want to save the data, and press the [F6] key
(SELECT).
The save-destination device will be selected, and the popup window will close.
5. Move the cursor into the data list, and use the CURSOR [
π
]/[
†
] keys to move the cursor to the
sequence that you want to save.
The sequence to which you move the cursor will be selected for saving. An asterisk * will be displayed at
the beginning of the sequence name for any sequences whose contents have been modified after they were
last saved or loaded.
6. Move the cursor to the desired save-destination folder in the file list block.
Use the CURSOR [
√
]/[
®
] keys to move upward or downward between levels, and use the CURSOR
[
π
]/[
†
] keys to select a different folder in the same level. When you select a save-destination folder, that
folder name will appear in the Save field.
7. To save the sequence, press the [F6] key (DO IT).
The single sequence will be saved in the specified folder. A saved sequence file will be indicated by an
icon in the file list block of the Load page.
If a file of the same name already exists in the save-destination folder, a File Exists popup window will
appear when you press the [F6] key. If this occurs, you can either press the [F3] key (RENAME) and rename
the file, or press the [F5] key (REPLACE) to overwrite the existing file.
Loading an ALL file (all sequences/songs) or a single sequence
Here’s how you can load a previously-saved file (a single sequence, or all sequences/songs) from a storage
device into the memory of the MPC4000.
1. Press the [LOAD] key.
The Load page will appear. In this page you can load files that were saved on a storage device.
Hint: When the cursor is in the data list, you can also select a sequence by turning the [JOG] dial.
Hint: You can press the [F3] key (NEW) to create a new folder in the current level.
Note: When you load a single sequence or all sequences/songs, the newly loaded data will overwrite the
sequence(s) or songs that were in memory. Please use this operation with care.
