The Replace same sound in memory: field selects whether to replace the
same sound in the MPC2000XL's memory with the sound on the disk (if the sound as-
signed to the loaded program already exists). If this is set to YES, all of the data on the
disk with the same name will replace the sounds in the MPC2000XL's memory. If this is
set to NO, sounds with the same name will not be loaded and the sounds in the
MPC2000XL's memory will be used.
Press CLEAR [F3] to erase all the program and sound data within the memory and load
the new program.
