How do you save a program, is this even in the manual?

I want to save a program with my sounds in it, anyone know how to do that?

This owners manual is ridiculously poorly written and insufficient to the most basic commonly used MPC functions.

Thanks

MAIN > pencil icon (PROGRAM row) > SAVE CURRENT PROGRAM

Quick follow-up...

Can we load disparate sequences (from different projects) into one new project (in standalone)?

Thanks.

Yes, a couple of ways. Go to the BROWSER, make sure the 'MPC' filter is not active (far right of browser) and enter the 'ProjectData' folder for the project you wish to copy from; load any sequences you wish to import into the current project (however, sequences are not 'named' they are just numbered '1,2, 3 etc, so tricky to identify).

Otherwise, open the old project, save the individual sequences to a separate folder via MAIN > top pencil icon > Save current sequence, open the new project and load those saved sequences.

Hey thanks for the info! Appreciate the assistance.

Anyone know how to delete a program? Will deleting program delete the samples associated with it? Or does user have to delete each sample individually?

It's on the same page as 'save program', as described above.

Deleting a program deletes just the program, sounds are left in memory unless you do a purge. Purge is covered at the end of the article I linked to above.

Will a loaded sequence recall and load the associated program, or do we have to manually re-assign programs to sequences?

Thanks a mil for the response.

A sequence won't load a program itself, but 'I think' if it's saved as an SQX it should remember the program name assigned to each track, so as long as the program is in memory it should get automatically assigned. However it does sound like something that might not always work as expected.

Hey thanks for the MPC-Tutoring! Appreciate the all the assistance.
