But I'm not sure I can fix yours.
It turned out to be all in the trimming.
(I take back what I said before about no amount of trimming helps)
Here's what I found:
It seems that when exiting trim mode the MPC adds just a bit of length to the sample for some reason. Either that or it shifts slightly or something. I think certain circuits and paths are bypassed in trim mode and the transition back to main effects the data/sample length for some reason. I finally fixed it by bringing back the end of my sample just a bit and then previewing it in main mode (rather than trim) until eventually I got no pop anymore. This is a pain in the ass though because everytime you have to go back and forth in and out of trim mode and press down, shift, left, wheel, etc , etc..
Of course if your pop is at the beginning and you dont have any room to back it up because you already discarded then you might be screwed. It might get worse if you try to move forward into your sound etc..
I always have one pad that has my whole sample from start to end. A sort of "master" or original pad. When I trim/discard my master pad I always leave a little headroom on each end just in case. Get it?
Good luck!
