the MPC has stumped me yet again

so i have my program with drums on my card on the bottom of the screen it says DRUM1: OFF then i sample a record and chop it and put it on that one i record in the sequence then i movie to track 2 and switch DRUM1: OFF to DRUM2: OFF and load my drum program on i record my drums to go along with the trak i sampled then when i stop it and play it again the sample is gone and cant be found..... basically what i'm asking is after i have my sample chopped and have it on my pads how do i keep what i got and add my drums i know it's a dumb question but my ADD kicks in when i read the manual and i can't find it and didn't have enough time to play with it today to find out please help me out..

which mpc do you have? on the 2k, i dont think you can use 2 programs at one time. i may be wrong, but i dont think the 2k has that feature. if thats the case, then you'll have to put all your drums AND chops on one program. Maybe use banks A & B for your chops, then the rest for drums or something (just as an example). but the way you described your problem, it sounds like you're using the 2kxl.

yeah I'm using the 2kxl

Did you create a new program when you chopped and assigned your new sample.

If you didn't create a new program you will be overwriting the old one.

i created a new program thas the thing i just don't know how to get two different programs working on one sequence but two seperate trax

ok.. so you have a chopped vinyl sample, and you've assigned these chopped samples to the 16 pads.. as a program....

correct?


ok...
now you want to add a new drum program??

you're doing the right thing by having the chopped vinyl samples on 'drum 1'..
and
yes, you do want to load the 2nd drum program onto 'drum 2'

however... when you have the Load screen up, are you loading by pressing the:

Clear button, which "erases existing P[rograms] & S[amples]"?

or are you pressing the

Load button, which "add[s] to existing P[rograms] & S[amples]"?


the only reason -existing programs- would -mysteriously- disappear, that i could think of, would be because you could be possibly selecting the Clear button when loading new programs...

i hope i was able to help...

that may very well be it i'll try it when i get home

u need to make sure that after u record ur first track with the samples, load up the other pgm and record the new stuff from the second pgm on another track....

save the sample???????????????
