Hey everybody!
After having owned an 2000XL then a 1000 JJOS, and having sold them by 2010, now I'm getting back to the MPCs with a Live.
Still, at this moment I have some struggles getting into the new workflow.
Mainly this is because of these overcrowded preset lists, that I really don't need.
I'm working mostly with the plugins, which I find decent sounding, but I would really love to be able to have my own preset list of programs.

Is there any possibility to have my user presets in the preset list, or even better, to erase all presets that don't do it for me? I noticed on the Bassline-plugin there is a USER-tab where my presets go to, but can't find the same for neither Drumsynth nor TubeSynth.

Any help?

And as a second, is there any way of copying instruments within the Multi-Drumsynth, so I could easier create some programs with different pad layouts? I mostly like kick and snare on my right hand as a default.

Thanks already, greetings from Romania!

Bogdan

!st Advice...Do NOT Erase ANY Presets or Folders. You will have future problems with the Machine.

You can Create your Own User Folders. Im not sure about Drum Synth tho.

My point is about livejamming, where it would be very useful to have a compact list of my own presets, so I don't have to scroll through a lot of presets that I don't know well, but rather have 10 Synth presets that I know extremely well.
Doesn't sound like there is any way to do that?

It might not be the best way RAM-wise, but you could create them as separate programs on their own tracks and just flip through them.

So many threads about people deleting stuff on internal drive and having problems afterwards
because these are not your older mpc's. Don't delete that stuff.
If you want presets, then make your own templates, programs, projects. No way to place your own presets in the plugins. It's not a feature/option.
