2GB CompactFlash Memory Card | CF for Akai MPC
Use these CF (Compact Flash) cards to store data from your Akai MPC drum machine; sounds, programs, sequences and songs. Using our free MPC 2K App you can edit sounds on your computer, then arrange them as Akai programs and save them to this removable CF card. You can then load the sounds into your Akai MPC 2000XL using our MC-2000XL Card Readers. These CF cards work with any drum machine or computer that supports CompactFlash (CF) cards.
CompactFlash (CF) is a flash memory mass storage device used mainly in portable electronic devices. The format was specified and the devices were first manufactured by SanDisk in 1994. CompactFlash became one of the most successful of the early memory card formats, surpassing Miniature Card and SmartMedia.
Compatibility: Akai MPC 2000, Akai MPC 2000XL, Akai MPC 2500, Akai MPC 4000, Akai MPC 5000, Akai MPC 1000… any drum machine or computer that supports CompactFlash (CF) cards.
How To Partition and Format Compact Flash Cards to 1GB: Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital (SD) card for Akai MPC 2000XL:
01. Open a command Window (Windows-> Start -> cmd). 02. Type “diskpart” A new window will open up with a “diskpart>” prompt. 03. Type “list disk”. 04. Select disk n (where n is the number of your CF card). 05. Type “list volume”. 06. Select volume n (where n is the number of CF card volume). 07. Type “clean all” (this completely re-formats the disk – it will take a while and appear to hang but be patient). 08. Type “create partition primary” (this gives the newly formatted CF card a partition so it can be resized). 09. Type “shrink querymax” This will tell you how much space is currently on available on your CF card. Subtract this from the file-size in MB you want for the final disk than add 1. For a 2GB disk, shrink querymax returns: “The maximum number of reclaimable bytes is: 1954MB” We want a final disk size of 1GB (977MB) so 1954 – 977 + 1 = 978. 10. Type “shrink desired” = 978 (This tells diskpart to try and shrink the disk by 978 MB). 11. Now that the disk is the right size, you can format the partition… Type “format fs=fat label=volumelabel” (“volumlabel” can be any name you want i.e. “mpcdisk”). 12. The media is now 1GB (977MB) and ready to use in the MPC 2000XL. Type “exit” to leave the command window.
