A quick search in the manual showed me that the stockfiles on the mpc1k are sored in the AUTOLOAD folder in the root of the CF card that came with the mpc1k. That's why these sounds get loaded when you turn on your mpc1k. To disable the autoload function do as specified on page 83 of the manual bottom of the page. B4 someone tells me not to say RTFM:

Setting the auto load function
In default, the auto load function, which loads the preset sounds and demo sequence automatically when you
switch on the MPC1000, is activated. You can deactivate this function so that the MPC1000 will not load anything
when switched on.
01. Press the [WINDOW] key in the LOAD from field of the LOAD page.
The Load Setup window will be displayed.
02. In the Autoload field, set the field to OFF.
03. Press the [F4] (CLOSE) key to close the window.
Next time you switch on the MPC1000, it will not load anything.
Tips: You can load the preset sounds and the demo sequence separately by selecting the INTERNAL MEMORY in
the LOAD from field of the LOAD page.
Tips: When you insert the memory card, which has AUTOLOAD folder, into card slot and switch on the MPC1000,
the MPC1000 will load the AUTOLOAD folder in the memory card automatically, regardless of the setting in
the Autoload field.

:lol: Didn't even know that, prolly 'cause I'm a 2kxl user myself. don't see much reason why I would read the 1k faq :) If I were a 1k user though ...

My advice to any MPC user whatever the type is to download a pdf version of the manual if available. I find it much easier and quicker to find an answer in the pdf manual thanks to the search functions in adobe reader. I found the answer to this question is less than 2 mins. I'm sure a quick glance in the faq might even have been quicker.
