You need to save the program to a flash card or hard drive before you switch the MPC off.

what is the bluebox, what does it do?

BlueBox was developed to facilitate creating and editing programs for the Akai MPC1000. This solution automates some of the tedious tasks involved with creating programs using the MPC itself. Some of these tasks encountered were:
setting the same mute group on more than one pad (ex: for hi-hat samples)
giving all pads the same envelope settings when creating multisample programs
assigning samples to a range of consecutive pads, then setting tune and MIDI trigger note for each one for multisample instrument programs
BlueBox implements faster ways to take care of such tasks, which will cut down the time required to get a program setup from scratch. BlueBox will increases your productivity by making PGM editing as smooth as can be, and will gets you back to pad-poundin' nirvana in no time!
