I can't find out for the life of me how to stop the akai factory samples loading from memory each time i start the mpc1k.

I remember this used to happen when i first had the machine, and i somehow managed to stop it...i can't remember how i solved this.

Its a pain because it clutters up my thinking when i want to get down and chop up a record.

please please help

cheers

There are two separate Autoload options:

If the CF card has a folder named “Autoload”, all programs, samples, sequences and songs in it will be loaded when the MPC1000 is powered on with the card in. This works even if you change the Autoload setting as below. (The name is case-sensitive: Capital “A” only.)
To stop this, delete or rename the Autoload folder: you can always download it from Akai International in the future if needed.
The Internal Memory, which is always available, even when no CF card is inserted. To stop this set loading, go to Load Mode, select the “Load From” line, and hit the Window key. You can overwrite this set by selecting Save Mode, changing the “Save To” setting to Internal Memory, and saving All Sequences And Songs. (Still, the internal set is good for quick demos to rubberneckers.)
The CF Autoload takes precedence over the Internal Memory, it will load by itself, whether the Internal Memory Autoload is enabled or disabled.(www.mpc1000.com)

It's simple.

Press mode -> pad2 (load)
Change Load from: Memory Card to Internal Memory (it's on the top of the screen)

Press Window then turn Autoload off.

There you go.
It's in your manual.
