This may be a simple step for others, but I just want to make sure im doing things right. Im new to the MPC world, and was wondering if someone could clue me in if im doing something wrong. Heres how i sample sounds, I create a new program name it and then start sampling. I run my buddies ESX-1 Electribe into my stereo ins. The esx is full of drum sounds and everything else. ill sample each bass kick, snare, clap, etc, and assign each sound to an indiviidula pad. Now, to save, i access the save screen, i scroll to save programs setting and select my program. Now the screen comes up and says replace same samples? does this mean, the samples ive just recorded, or previous samples from another bank? Ive saved samples before, but when i access them sometimes sounds from other programs are on the bank. i.e. i will have a whole bank full of drums and a couple other things, ill save them and then ill load them later, but then a guitar stab or something else ive recorded is on that bank. Im using the old akai os from 2004, sadly. Another quick question, how do i erase a sound from a pad after ive assigned a sample to it. Saw a guy in WA with glow in the dark pads, homeade creation, or does akai put these out as a limited product?

JJOS V3 is free, dude. So is the Akai upgrade, but you don't want that.

"Replace same samples" means the samples you have already saved to the flash card with the same names. If want to save changes you made to your samples, you want to select that option.

OS1 V3..xx is the old one. You can try OS1 V4 too, but you can't save without paying for a password. You can't install OS2 without paying for OS1 first.

If you install any of these, it's best to backup and reformat your drives afterward.
