The operating system on your MPC2000 and MPC2000XL will determine how much flash-memory will be accessible on a compactflash card for use with the scsi compact flash reader writer drive.
The key to accessing the largest possible memory capacity is to use the correct operating system.
The operating system will consist of a system file and an executable file.
These files are necessary to boot the sampler.
The Akai MPC2000 CLASSIC, typically has operating system version 1.
72, which supports flash-media over 1GB and partitioning, will allow you to format and access up to 16GB on a compact flash card.
For example, you could use a 2GB card and approximately 2GB will be accessible.
If you use a 16GB card, then approximately 16GB will be accessible.
The Akai MPC2000XL typically has operating system version 1.
20 which will allow to format and access up to 1GB on a compactflash card.
You could use a 2GB card but only 1GB will be accessed with 1GB of unused memory.
If, a 4GB compactflash card is used, then only 1GB will be accessible with 3GB of non-accessible memory.
If you update the operating system on the MPC2000XL to version 1.
14, which will also support flash media over 1GB and partitioning, then you will be able to access up to 16GB of memory storage on the card.
There are two choices for formatting the flash media before saving any work is a producers matter of preference as follows: There are some producers that work exclusively with an MPC sampler and NO computer, so the recommendation would be to format the card with the MPC sampler.
This means working exclusively with snd (MPC-formatted) files.
Other producers have an MPC sampler and a computer in their setup and move their work across both platforms.
The recommendation here would be to format the compactflash card with the computer.
Of course, this would mean working with wav format files only so that is recognized by both the MPC and the computer.
In summary, this explanation should help gain a thorough understanding to clear much confusion that exist among new producers attempting to access the maximum possible memory capacity on a compactflash card.
The answer lies in the operating system used.
