Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

whatsup everybody. how do you clear or remove unwanted sounds from the internal memory without turning the power off? last night i was using sounds from several pgm kits i loaded up to create a new pgm. i saved it as a "pgm" file, but was wondering if there was a way i could delete unwanted sounds in memory and save as an "aps" file? when i delete the pgm kits, the sounds are still in memory. i thought when you deleted a pgm, it removed the sounds from internal memory as well. Can anyone assist with this? Thanks in advance.

PS i'm thinking i have to delete each unwanted sound individually, before saving to "aps". am i right? did i answer my own question??

i own an mpc2000, btw...

go into TRIM mode, highlight the name field, hit open window > delete and do it.

the sound will be deleted from memory. deleting just the program from PROGRAM mode will not delete sounds from memory. you'll have to go into TRIM mode and delete them by the above method. you can also delete all sounds from memory this way.

yea...you can also just purge the sounds in memory. im not in front of my mpc so i friggin forgot how to do it :oops: but it'll basically purge all sounds that are not being used in any programs or something like that.....which can free up some space....

but to answer your question, yea you gotta manually delete the sounds you want. it sounds long and boring but it aint that bad....
