clearing internal memory

Hello, I am a mpc1000 newb, and this is my first post. I am wondering what I need to do to clear out the internal memory programs and samples that keep showing up and swiping 10 mb of my 128 right off the bat. I'm in mode:load/load:internal. I get about 20 or so programs like Ill_Hip_Set and E_Kit that i have no use for and would like to simply erase them for good. I have JJOS 4.78 installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

go to the load screen and turn auto load off
turn off then on mpc should be blank save that to internal memory and save as autoload. i think

thanks for the quick response, i tried it out and still no luck... can't save or delete anything in mpc:internal. i set autoload to off, but i still see all the programs and samples that i would like to delete in mode:load/load:internal.

From what I understand, that info cant be permenantly deleted. You can turn off autoload like po pimpin' said and thats the best advice we can give you. If you turn off autoload then that data wont load in your RAM but it will still be in the internal memory. You cant save or delete any internal memory though.

alright, seems like i'll just have to live with it for now, i realize it may seem nitpicky, but thought i'd ask anyway... sad though that you can't clear and/or replace these generic samples and programs... does this mean that every mpc1000 out there has the Ill_Hip_Set and family on it?

Naw, its not knotpicky bro. I think we all wanted those Internal Samples gone, but they're here to stay unfortunately. But atleast if you turn off autoload they won't load into your RAM.

Ofcourse you can.

Of course you can do what Bugfix?

I know I've done it before, but in the end I wanted to get them back in there. Anyways though, what I did was recorded a really short sample, like not even a second, of just blank audio. Made it into a program and saved that to the internal.

If you do that it should overwrite the factory sounds. It's not a totally clean slate, but it's the closest to it that you can get.

I would just leave the factory ones in there though, its not like it hurts anything to have them there

that was a clever idea dvs! I never thought of that!

It worked Here's what I did:

With no input signals coming into the MPC, I made a sample of nothing and named it BLANK. Then I assigned the BLANK Sample to Bank1 Pad1 of Program01 and Renamed that Program to CLEANSLATE. Then I went in and trimmed the BLANK sample so that the start point was 00000000 and the endpoint was 00000001. Then Mode:Save/Save:All Programs (The only Save option that provides you with the ability to [DO IT] when targeting MPC:INTERNAL) Then, following 2 on screen opportunities to reconsider, I was finally able to overwrite the internal memory and squeezed it down to 11k!

Its not that I have anything against the factory presets, they sound ok, i just had a problem with being forced to waste system resources on something that i knew I would never use. Anyway, my MPC is now oficially maxed out and I'm VERY HAPPY. THANK YOU to thedvs01, and to all those who replied to my post.

nice. i have a 1 long sample called "blip." i use it as my metronome.

I bet if you converted that sample to mono you could get it down to like 6k haha

But yeah, no problem - though there is really nothing to gain by having a blank internal memory, the way I posted is about the closest you can come to it.
