Hi,

I can not get my memory cards that i have setup and used in my CDJ1000Mk2 to work in my new CDJ1000Mk3..

Is there a way to have all those loops appear on the Mk3 without putting them all back in manually.. ?? Are these systems compatible

Thanks
Dogg

Thats gay..



My Mk2 stores loops on the cd hardrive and on my memory cards so not sure what you mean there..



Is it possible to format a new card in the Mk3 then copy the Mk2 card across to the formated Mk3 card.. ??

You gotta close the memory card gate on the Mk3's for cards to work..

Hey Pioneer family, long time no speak...
Little clarification:

Quote:

The MK3 won't accept MK2 or 1000 formatted MMC or SD cards.....

Also I think you mean Cues not loops from the MK2 to MK3; the MK2 doesn't store loops.....





Karl says on his announcement thread:
Q: Will the mk2's memory card, cue points and wave data work in a mk3 player?
A: YES

So i guess mk3 accepts old cards fortunately...?

cheers

As clarification as well, the MK3 saves much more info than the mk2s did, and also as a slightly different format... which atually means you can now read them on a pc and copy what you want

I stand corrected. the word "limitations" was missed when I reviewed the manual for the MK3... You can use MK2 cards, but there are limitations if formatted on the 1000 or MK2, when using that card in the MK3-

MP3 data cannot be recorded
Loop data set in hot cues cannot be recorded
You cannot use a computer to copy or back-up the card
When recording a Loop point, a single loop point requires 2 points of memory area
The cards cannot be reformatted in the MK3

This is the facts on using a card from the 1000 or MK2 in the MK3....

How about the other way around? I've got two MK3's, using the memory cards that were supplied with them.

This weekend i got a gig at a place which has MK2's. Can i use my memory cards in them, or do i need to buy MMC? (i think the MK3 has SD)

the CDJs all use SD cards or MMC. I would think you could use the MK3 cards in MK2s, BUT you won't get the loops or the MP3s.......

I think because the format has changed in which the data is stored, the compatability is:

MK2 points > MK3 player = okay
MK3 points > MK2 player = no go

Someone will have to verify this for me however - I haven't had the chance to try.

You mean the hot cue loops right? The regular loops can still be read?

I saw both the MK1 and the MK2 can store loops as well on the card, so i don't see this being a problem. Also the Pioneer's MK3 site says the cards can be used in any CDJ1000.

I wish someone here was able to verify this. Would'nt it be a big oversight by Pioneer to have loops created in a MK3 not work in earlier versions?

Can i jump in here real quick as a future CDJ owner and ask if any cards come with the units?

I've seen elsewhere on the forum that these are mere SD cards... i could get pretty much anywhere. yes / no?

They do? Last box I opened for a show had (keyword: had ) a 64MB card in it. Either way, the unit still only addresses the first 16MB which even the most fierce DJ will have a hard time ever filling to the limit.

That would be "moi"

Sorry, have been busy last couple of days.. will try this tonight when I get home, although I will say I would be very surprised if it worked... most things are usually (as pulse noted in math format, lol) backwards compatible, not forwards

More on this at 7~8 pm EST :P
