Hello all,
Ok Im new, days new and I used up my memory and so far have not been able to erase the factory samples. This is with a MPC-1000. Thanks.

that doesn't free up any space it just makes them not load when you turn it on.

Thanks for the quick reply. Turning off the autoload will solve the current
problem so I can keep learning "tonight" but some of the sounds that are
(preset) are good and what if I decide I want to delete just one or two
samples, am I suppossed to save what i want to flash and turn the machine off. There must be another way. I have tried the "erase" button but that seems to be just for editing. I know this is right infront of me :shock: Tell
me I am wrong but the manual does not seem to address erasing samples.
Other than this little frustration the MPC is amazing, crystal clear and
tactile meaning the pads respond to a delicate touch. :D
Thanks in advance.

Sorry about the double print :oops: StonesThrow said it dosent free up any space, when you turn off "autoload" it does, but that space is mighty small :shock: 16MB small! Thats
nothing when you want to record stereo. That was a big part of my problem
above. Sorry i am so naive but it never occured to me when I bought the MPC that I would have such narrow parameters to start with (to learn inside of) I still would like to know how to delete samples without turning the machine off. But more important how do you install the exm128? Or is it
way better to install the hard drive?
Thanks.

the 128 isnt more space it just gives it more juice. I would get a HD for your mp its a great investment/

Thanks. Can you install the hard drive (adaptor plug) yourself or do you need to
send it out? And one more question please; to erase or delete a sample
do you just save what you want to flash and shut down? :? I have been
making smaller tighter samples and am starting to not feel completely awkward. But it dosen't seem right to turn off and turn back on.
Thanks again.

You can do it yourself but you need to order the HDM as well as the hardrive. Its the adapter so it will fit in there.
