Hey everyone! I am really new to music production and just bought an MPC one secondhand. The whole system is blank, seems like the previous owner wiped everything before sending it over. For example on the start up screen, there are no templates and the drum kits are all empty. Is there any way to restore these to the out of box state? Thank you for your time! :smoker:

Have your tried registering your MPC with akaipro.com?
If it shows up there, you should either be able to either directly download the stock factory content image or at least request it from support. If your serial’s registrations are all used up, you can still try to request it from support.
Apart from that, the factory content isn’t really that useful. F9 instruments are mildly interesting but other than that, working with your own content is probably the way to go (unless your MPC starts acting unreliably because of the initial folders missing).
