How can I prevent my MPC One (v3.4 beta) from loading a default kit ("Trap-Kit-Default")? I can purge the samples, but I have no idea how to delete the program it loads. So my other question is: How can I delete a program from memory?

Thank you in advance!

After deleting the drum program, purge the unused samples. Alternatively, loading a different kit into the track will remove the original kit and its samples, so loading an empty drum program will delete both the kit and its samples.

Thank you for your reply! The first step (which I underlined above) is what I'm desperate to figure out. Can you elaborate on that?

I think what you're looking for is hitting the pencil on the right, and hitting "delete track." Remember in OS 3, the workflow is completely switched up so a track and a program are basically one. So when you delete the track that contains the PGM you want to delete, it deletes the PGM.

I'm still adapting myself but I'm 99% sure that's how it goes now.

I discovered an interesting shortcut :o On the main screen, tap the track number of the drum track name, switch to a MIDI track, and then switch back to the drum track. The kit will be deleted (samples will not be purged).

Tout à fait, et c'est tellement plus logique ;)
