Normally a program on an MPC is a set of samples (if it is a drumkit) which are divided over the pad's.. One program can have for example 128 samples in it so every pad in every bank has 1 sample.. but if a program has only the first bank of 16 pad's occupied with samples.. it is possible to load other samples to the other banks.. you are then not loading another program to it.. you just load more samples and put those samples on for example bank B.. just go to program edit.. hit the bank you want hit the pad you want and select the sample you want on it.. do this for all banks/pad's you want and then save it as a new program..

If you load a new program mostly it occupies only the first 16 pad's (bank A).. so the other banks are empty.. it is not possible to load an extra program at once into for example bank B of an excisting program.. but you can load the program and select the samples on the pad's of other banks of an excisting program manually..

Hope this helps..

You can load one program with a lot of samples at once.. no need to do it from scratch.. but if you have still space in some banks it is not possible to add another program to those banks.. Just manually load the samples you want and assign them to empty banks and than save the program with a new name.. It is not ideal but better than make it all from scratch :mrgreen:
