u make a program by going mode -> program -> select name field -> press window -> hit new -> name it -> then assign samples to the different pads (which i assume u can do)... go to main -> select track u want the program on -> select the program in the program field and play away.. good idea to save as ur going along too.. personally i use the autoload approach but u can save the individual programs as u wish..

hope this helps.. if not just ignore me lol

thanx but how do you go about tracking?

i find this helps lots if using a pc to transfer samples.....

Create Sequences by selecting a Program for one or more Tracks, set up Time Correct if you want it, and record your playing. Chain Sequences together in Song mode.

But we're not gonna tell you what to play, natch, you wouldn't agree with our advice anyways..!

What about folders? Should each program reside in its own folder?

yeah what he said

If u wish them too.. check out the other post by stereoid floating about, about the mpc workflow to find out advantages and disadvantages of takin the autoload aproach or folders... and how to get the best of both..
