System Resources - Akai MPC X User Manual

System Resources

Tap one of these icons to show the System Resources window for
MPC X/Live/Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37.
The indicators in this window show current usage statistics:
Battery: If you are using MPC Live powered by its internal
battery, the first indicator shows the current battery life as a
percentage. (See Battery Usage
Live and MPC Live II's internal battery.)
CPU: The CPU indicator shows the current CPU as a
percentage.
RAM Usage: The Mem indicator shows your MPC hardware's
current RAM usage.
Important: If you encounter a warning that there is not enough memory to complete an action while using your
MPC hardware, do the following to make more memory available:
Make sure all audio tracks in your project are not record-armed.
Delete samples from your project's sample pool that were there before the warning appeared.
If you are still seeing the warning, do the following:
1. Manually undo the last action you performed before seeing the warning (you may not be able to use the
Undo button for this due to how the undo history is stored in RAM).
2. Save your project.
3. Do one of the following, and then load your saved project again.
•
 In Main Mode, tap the folder icon at the top of the screen, and then tap New at the bottom of the screen.
•
 Power your MPC hardware off and then on again.
•
 Press Menu and then tap the gear icon to open the Preferences. In the Preferences, tap Reset at the
bottom of the screen, tap OK, and then tap Restart to reset the Preferences.
•
 Enter Controller Mode and then reenter Standalone Mode.
Important: Although you can load multiple files at once, any samples you load into a project will be automatically
converted to full-quality uncompressed audio files, so they may use more storage space than they do on your
external storage device. If you are unable to load multiple files at once due to this, select fewer files and try again.
Drives: The Drives indicator shows the available storage space on any detected external storage devices or the
internal drive of MPC X/Live/Live II/One/Key 61/Key 37.
To delete samples from the project (to create more free RAM space for sampling time, audio recording, etc.), tap
Purge. In the screen that appears, tap Unused Samples to delete all unused samples from the project, tap All
Samples to delete all samples from the project (from all programs, sequences, and audio or MIDI tracks), or tap
Cancel to return to the previous screen.
To close the System Resources window, tap OK, the X in the upper-right corner, or anywhere outside the window.
