However, when I loaded the sample pack I lost all of the original Combi and Program banks except the pianos. How is the best way to load them so everything isn't erased or the original factory settings are overwritten?
Thanks for your help

There are a few different options.
1) You can play the sounds directly from a media card (without having to load them). This can be a good option if you record or play one part at a time. It's not so good if you use the sequencer or you want to assemble your own combis or edit the programs.
2) You can load the whole pack. This is a good option if you want to edit or examine the combis and programs. It's not so good if you want to keep your existing programs/combis or you want to integrate the sounds into sequences or other combis.
3) You can load individual programs or combis. This is the most flexible. It's easiest for the programs - simply load whichever ones you want to use. The combis are a bit more fiddly, but probably not as much as you might expect. Most of the combis use only one piano program (sometimes two). If you know which combi you want to load, you'll need to do something like this:
a) Load the whole pack and examine the combi that you want to use - work out which program it uses. You might want to back up your M50 memory before doing this if you have any custom programs or combis.
b) Load your original memory contents back, and then load in your desired individual combi and program. You can load them into any available memory location.
c) Edit the combi so that it points to the correct location for the program. All the other settings should be retained, so you won't have to adjust anything else.
Hope that helps!
